iPhone OS 3.0 introduces Internet Tethering, Find My iPhone

[Admin]

If you own an iPhone and you've needed to transmit pictures from the field, you've probably lamented the device's inability to share its always-on mobile Internet connection with your laptop. It's a common smartphone feature, but it has only been possible with an iPhone through unpleasant backdoor methods. Until now. Today's release of iPhone OS 3.0 signals the official embrace by Apple of this capability, and the good news is that it's simple to set up and use. We have a first look at iPhone Internet Tethering, as well as an introduction to the new Find My iPhone locator feature of MobileMe.

This was my most wanted feature until they released it with a £15 charge for 3Gb !!! It is actually cheaper for me to buy a "3" dongle and stick £10 on it each month for the same amount of data. In fact with the current £4.95 dongle (with £1.50 on it FREE) it is even cheaper the first month. If I am paying for an expensive contract then I should get bolt ons CHEAPER than you can buy them separately. If the going rate for 3Gb is £10 then it should be £10 for 5Gb as part of an existing contract.....
