Wi-Fi Sync for iPhone: now available on Cydia!

Wi-Fi Sync enables wireless syncing with iTunes at the touch of a button. Never go looking for that USB cable again. Sync from the car, bed or shed whenever it suits you.
Wi-Fi Sync is now available to purchase for $9.99 — but you won't find it on the iTunes App Store. To get it, all you need to do is download and run the Spirit jailbreak (click here), which can be used on any iPhone or iPod touch. It takes less than a minute, and frees your phone from Apple's control, unlocking a world of 'unofficial' apps that have been rejected from the App Store - including Wi-Fi Sync - and it's completely free, safe, legal, and reversible.
Once that's done, you'll see the Cydia app on your device. Cydia is a third-party app store where Wi-Fi Sync and many other innovative apps are available to download.

Enable tethering on iPhone 3.0 (3.1.3 ma

Enable tethering on iPhone 3.0 (3.1.3 maybe) - Too easy... (WORLDWIDE carriers)
Tested platforms:
iPhone 3G 16GB, Firmware 3.0/3.0.1, O2 Contract; 3.1.3 to be tested
iPhone 3GS 16GB, same stuff as the 3G

3.1.3 may work. Let us know if this is working again!

iTunes 8.2+ is needed for the drivers.
No jailbreaking needed.

This is a walkthrough of how I enabled tethering on my iPhone 3G on O2 UK. It was a lot easier than I thought - no jailbreaking needed, and all you need really is a MobileConfig file, which is essentially what O2 wants to charge you for £15 min per month!

Of course, even though the O2 iPhone contract claims to offer unlimited data download, there is still the fair use policy, so just be careful with how you use your tethering i.e. don't go watching YouTube, watching BBC iPlayer or doing any big downloads!

Also, note that the tethering option on the iPhone is only available if you're using it with an official iPhone carrier.

*Advanced tip*: if all goes wrong, you can always remove the profile by going to "Settings" -> "General" -> "Profiles" and remove whichever is bothering you. Good luck!

*Advanced tip 2*: If you're having problems with Bluetooth connection on your MacBooks, check for the Bluetooth driver software update from Apple (use OS X's software update tool).
