Hey everyone! This is great news. My sources can confirm that iPhone OS 3.0.1 does not update your baseband or even make it necessary for a new version of redsn0w! So, this is actually some refreshing news. This is the first time that Apple has released firmware for the sole purpose of “fixing bugs” and not killing an unlock or a jailbreak for us iPhone 3G users! Great news for all! This gives you a couple of months to react and buy an iPhone 3G S! Unlock it, and forever jailbreak it! I may be doing this as well if I sell my iPhone 3G in the near future. So, all you have to do, is hook your iPhone up to iTunes on your Mac/PC, and hit “check for updates”, then let it download and install! Afterwards, just go into redsn0w, and choose an iPhone OS 3.0 ipsw (not the 3.0.1 ipsw) and run it. Apple has not changed a thing other than their messages application! (I would make sure to have iTunes 8.2 as that’s still tethering/jailbreak friendly.) Then enjoy!

Yes everyone. As we get closer to September, Apple gets closer to releasing iPhone OS 3.1!

We don’t have much other than it fixes some huge bugs and that it brings better performance. The only feature so far is that you can now copy/paste small videos with the iPhone 3G S.

I’ll update this if we can confirm any other features.

UPDATE 1: iTunes 8.2.1 blocks teathering as well.

Breaking news here at Limited Edition iPhone, iTunes 8.2.1 has just been released by Apple. I do not recommend you to download it if you are either unlocked/jailbroken, or on a Palm Pre.

This not only kills Palm Pre support, but it might even kill redsn0w (the application) support, due to Apple possibly changing the USB protocol again for iPhone OS 3.1!

This is in preparation for the iPhone OS 3.1 update scheduled for “late summer”. So stay tuned for any new updates.

Wow! It was just less than 3 months ago since Apple sold its 1 billionth application, well, after a little over a year, Apple continues to sell more and more each day. Half a billion applications in just 3 months is insane!

This can be attributed to the new iPhone 3G S and its record sales. AT&T is reporting that the iPhone 3G S is the biggest selling phone they have ever had, in proportion to how many units were sold in such a small amount of time.

Now this is impressive, but possibly, this number may not be as impressive. I have not recieved clarification on whether or not this includes app updates. If so, 1.5 billion shouldn’t be too unexpected. I have downloaded over 300 app updates since iPhone OS 3.0 GM was seeded to developers back on June 8th. (Yes, I have a ton of apps, but I only sync about 250 of them.)

Well, either way, congratulations Apple, you are half way to your second billion.

Yes everyone, this is breaking news here at Limited Edition iPhone. It seems Apple has listened to some minor instability issues (and also wants to kill ultrasn0w), so iPhone OS 3.1 beta 1 has landed into developers hands just a few moments ago. Developers can go here to download the new sdk.

Do not update to this when it comes out (possibly in the next couple of weeks) if you want to unlock or want to keep the capability of unlocking.

New “features” found so far include:

• Trimming video clips on the iPhone 3GS now offers the ability to save the edited version as a copy rather than simply overwriting the original file.

• Voice Control over Bluetooth is now available, allowing users to Initiate calls and control music playback via Bluetooth headsets.

• MMS is now enabled by default, but still not supported by AT&T.

• iPhone vibrates when rearranging Home screen icons.

• A “Fraud Protection” toggle is now available in Safari settings.

• iPhone startup and shutdown and app launching times have improved.

• New APIs allow developers of third-party application to access and edit videos.

• OpenGL and Quartz have seen improvements.

• Also, baseband has been updated to 05.08.01

I will update this when we can find new features in 3.1. Stay tuned…
