Official tethering option for iPhone on the way?

It seems Apple and AT&T are in talks regarding adding a tethering option to the iPhone. One user emailed Apple to complain about the lack of this feature, especially considering it is offered on most other smartphones for $30/month.

Supposedly, Steve Jobs replied and said:

We agree, and are discussing it with ATT.

Steve

Interesting. AT&T actually does offer a tethering option for their other smartphones for, you guessed it, $30 a month. But the iPhone has been excluded from this. For those who don’t know, tethering is a feature that allows a user to connect to the Internet through their cell phone. In effect, turning their phone into an Internet connection for a laptop. As you may remember, Nullriver’s Netshare was pulled from the App Store recently because it offered this very feature.

Myst PC game being remade for the iPhone

Lovers of PC games rejoice! Myst, developed by Cyan, will soon be coming to the iPhone. And when you think about it, this is probably one of the best game port choices so far.

RPGs and point-and-click games will work the best on the iPhone’s current configuration, since action shooters require a quick reaction time, and it’s not so easy to do that without good ol’ pressable buttons. Even so, Myst is a point-and-click with plenty of puzzles to keep your mind occupied.

Best Buy won’t earn big from iPhone deal; will cash in on accessories

As you may have heard, Apple struck a deal with Best Buy a few days ago to sell the iPhone semi-exclusively starting September 7. But one analyst has noticed this may not be a very great deal for Best Buy, at least in the sales department. In fact, Best Buy stands to earn a maximum of $50 per phone.

Despite the lack of revenue from the deal, Best Buy does stand to earn big from accessory sales. And while no one knows exactly how the numbers work out, Colin A. McGranahan with Sanford C. Berstein & Co told BusinessWeek that since the wholesale price of the iPhone 3G is probably around $550, AT&T could make up to a $350 subsidy from the voice and data fees. Likewise, Apple would get a $450 subsidy from AT&T.

Free iPhone Case Mod makes your Apple glow

If you still have a first-gen iPhone but want to spruce it up a bit, maybe a bit of case modification will suit your fancy. At least that’s what a group of Russian modders have decided to do.

This involves replacing the back case with one that allows the Apple logo on the back to glow. Pretty cool looking, if you ask me. Plus, it adds a real sense of symmetry between the iPhone and other Apple products, like MacBooks.

What’s especially cool is the Apple only glows while the phone is in use and you can adjust the brightness of the glow within the settings menu. While not very practical (expect for maybe a flashlight?) this mod will definitely make your iPhone stand out.

Firmware 2.0.1 Makes iPhone 3G Locked for Good?

Will your iPhone 3G be un-unlockable once you upgrade to the new firmware 2.0.1. Not exactly. And not yet, at least.

If you’ve updated already, you may have noticed that you lost access to any jailbroken apps you may have had. But don’t sweat it. The DevTeam is on it. However, the iPhone 3G’s baseband has also been updated making it a possibility that once the new Pwnage Tool comes out, you may be out of luck.

So, that puts many in a bit of a predicament. Update now and get greater functionality or wait it out and hope the new Pwnage Tool will fix the same problems and let your iPhone stay unlocked. It’s quite a pickle, if you ask me!

Over 1,000 iPhone Free Apps (and some paid)

Well, it looks like the iTunes App Store is off to a rip-roaring start. More than 1,000 unique applications have been uploaded. But what’s even more impressive is the download stats.

Since the store’s open, over 25 million apps have been downloaded. This not only is a good sign for the success of the App Store–it’s also a good sign that this may just be a great means of selling mobile software for consumers and businesses alike.

Because many apps are currently free and the vast majority–around 90%–are priced under $10, this isn’t a huge market yet. But it certainly has the potential to be so and I would set my watch that it will be so, soon.

The very affordable iPhone Battery Case

If you’re on the lookout for an iPhone case that does something besides keep your iPhone well protected, then you might check one of these out. It doesn’t have quite the chic look of a Mophie Juice Pack, but it is a nice alternative.

It does have that nice leather look going for it too. Unfortunately, these won’t help anyone with a 3G iPhone. It is purely for 1st Gen iPhones and the iPod Touch.

Thankfully it is a great deal cheaper than a Juice Pack, a Juice Pack goes for just under $100. This one is retailing for $25.19. Granted I’m sure that the Juice Pack is going to be a safer bet and better quality all around, but if you’re just looking for something cheap this would be great.

Review: Scrabble for iPhone and iPod touch OS 2.0 by Electronic Arts

The board game Scrabble has been around decades before I was even born. It brings me a lot of joy that EA has ported this word building game over to the iPhone.In case you haven’t heard of Scrabble, it’s a game where you get seven letters that you use to build words on the game board. Certain letters have varying points while certain squares provide opportunities for you to augment your scores. The primary objective of the game is to create words that earn the most points or a higher score than your opponent.

Before moving forward with the review, let me just say that Scrabble doesn’t disappoint and it is worth $9.99!

EA seemed to have put a lot of thought into the opening splash screen with all the fancy animations. That being said, if they’d put more thought or even placing themselves into our shoes; they’d understand that it gets annoying after sitting through the splash screen three or four times. There isn’t a way to skip through or speed up the LONG 20 second wait, so your only option is to patiently wait for it to finish. After the fifth or sixth time, I have this urge to launch my precious iPhone 3G towards the nearest wall (yes, I know it’s misplaced anger and the iPhone doesn’t deserve it - but hey it’s the only tangible object in my hands). Once you get pass the 20-second load time, a menu pops up with options for Quick Play, Custom Play, game Options, Statistics or see More Games by EA.
