I just saw this on  modmyi.com, how to tether your iPhone via Safari.

Apparently, it’s even working for AT&T, although no one knows if AT&T will kill that function shortly.

So if you haven’t already discovered tethering is working on iPhone firmware 3.0 (even for AT&T). You can enable AT&T tethering via a simple .ipcc (download AT&T.ipcc) update via iTunes OR you can make it happen in an even easier manner via Safari on your iPhone!

BenM.at is hosting TONS of iPhone tethering configuration files for many many networks across various countries.

Simply browse to help.BenM.at/help.php via Safari on your iPhone

That’s it, Now just browse to Settings->General->Network->Internet Tethering->On and you have tethering.

Note: at the time of this writing tethering is still working for AT&T even though they said it would not work. Here’s hoping that AT&T doesn’t prevent this overnight!

Well…for all those rocking iPhones, or or those who will be buying a new iPhone 3G s…This is for you.

The new iPhone 3.0 will sport some great new Safari features

  1. Autofill forms (it’s about freaking time)
  2. Javascript will be much, much faster
  3. Streaming audio and Video via Quicktime’s dark forces (actually it’s XHTML’s dark forces; Engadget is calling this X- style HTML, Apple has a funny way of “renaming,” so I’m pretty sure this is just XHTML)
  4. HTML 5 Support (audio/video tags)

I for one do not use an iPhone, but the new one has got some amazing features, and some that have been a long time coming (MMS, a camera better than the Fisher Price digital camera for kids…etc.)

So it seems that Apple won’t be loosing there market anytime soon, and I’m sure customers will be increasingly happy with the new features.  We just have to figure out how to get Coverflow for your browsing history on the iPhone.  Now that would be sweet…

The iPhone pretty much devours all the other news that drops at WWDC, and Engadget is my favorite place to get all the news at.  Check out Engadget’s coverage here
