I haven't tested it on the iPad, but it should (theoretically) allow tethering without jailbreaking. It's $0.99, and it will probably be pulled any minute.
Hopefully one of you guys with an iPad can test this out. There's a proxy section in the WiFi setup for the iPhone, I assume there's one for the iPad too.
(Substitute "iPad" for "computer" in these instructions.)
Quote:
# Set up an ad hoc Wi-Fi network on your computer (network name and password requirement are not important).
# Connect to the Wi-Fi network you just created on your iPhone through the Settings/Wi-Fi menu.
# Tap on the blue arrow to the right of the selected Wi-Fi network, click Static in the IP Address menu and enter the following IP address and chuckle at its geek quotient: 13.37.13.37
# Next, enter 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask field.
# Back out of the Settings menu to ensure these settings are saved (though hitting the Home button right away shouldn’t change them).
# Go to your Mac or PC and change the network settings to use the SOCKS Proxy and enter 13.37.13.37 as the Socks Proxy Server address and 1337 as the port.
# Be sure to apply/save these settings.
# Go back to your iPhone and open the Handy Light app and tap the flashlight colors at the bottom in the following sequence: blue, yellow, red. Then tap the top right corner of the screen and the color should change to purple. Your iPhone is now capable of sharing its internet connection with the computer you set up.
# Leave the app open and go to your computer and start browsing. As the video describes, we found that it took a few seconds for the connection to kick in but then it worked like a charm. Though many variables affect network speed tests, a quick test using Speedtest.net yielded 3.92 Mb/s down and 0.38 Mb/s up while tethered to our iPhone 4 through Handy Light.
Edit: Snag #1... Doesn't look like it's possible to create a new network on an iPad/iPhone.
Turning it off completely (Auto Lock Never) hasn't been around for a while
It's in "Settings" "General" "Autolock" I'm using iOS 4.0.1 not jailbroken. That option has been there since the day I got the 3GS. it came with iOS 3.0 I believe.

Too weird...
My buddy, who isn't the most tech savvy asked me how I turned the auto lock off so it wouldn't pop up after a certain time (mine is 3 minutes). His ipod touch doesn't have it... he goes to that menu and it doesn't give him any options but to leave the auto lock on.

Yep, that's the one I'm trying to download on my iPhone. It dowloads fine on my PC; I con't open it with anything other than Notepad; but it downloads.
Sounds like the "Never" auto-lock option might disappear if you set up your phone to sync with an Exchange account - check here and here for discussion on how to get it back (need to change settings on the Exchange server).

Skype has finally been updated with multitask support. Receive (Skype) calls in the background, or send it to the background to do something else while on a (Skype) call.
Also, it looks like they are nixing the plan to charge for calls over 3G.

I tested it out and it works great over wifi and 3g. Switching to other apps does not affect the call at all. Plus the one thing that really bugged me about the skype app is now fixed. The sleep button no longer puts the call on hold. It just turns off the screen to save power and the call continues.

Free Preview of Bell Live Mobile TV (iPhone)
So I happened to call into Bell to inquire about their Mobile TV feature; and apparently starting tomorrow through September 30th they are running a free preview of the app for iPhone users.
Now of course this does use up your data; so if you are like me and only have 500 MB you will need to watch your usage pretty close.

Similar idea to Skype except it works off facebook contacts (which is good for me since I have a lot more facebook contacts than Skype contacts). And it runs in the background so you can receive calls when your phone is locked. Just tried it with a friend and it worked well.
