Did you wait for the iPhone OS 3.0 update just because you wanted to hook up your iPhone to your Mac or PC and tether along the way? Did you go through the nasty process of updating just to find out that tethering was disabled with your carrier? Well, here you go:

Richard Lai explains on his blog, how easy it is to install MobileConfig-files on your iPhone for (maybe) all worldwide carriers. It’s 1-2-3, tethering enabled! Just visit http://help.benm.at/ directly from your iPhone and you are good to go. It works great; I’m writing this being connected via bluetooth. Thank you, Richard Lai!

Mac Rumors posted images recently, claiming to depict the back cover of an upcoming iPhone. iPodObserver first posted a version of the above photo that allegedly depicts an unreleased 16GB iPhone with the model number A1303. This new iPhone case is said to “shed its glossy appearance for a matte black look” and also introduce a new case-back made of metal.

The site seems confident in the photo and reminded readers that they were also responsible for publishing an early back-case photo of the iPhone 3G. MacRumors has also received additional images that appear to be from the same series.

If this forecast will turn out as true, this magnificent concept of an iChat iPhone by Rodolphe Desmare will just remain a dream:

This concept looks extremely slick! Taking Apple’s design evolution from the latest MacBook’s and MacBook Pro’s, this design would be the next logical step. Pack the Mac into the iPhone and shake, voila! Click the image for a large version.

The world of Apple fans was waiting for a next Apple Event and many rumors circulated the relevant sites and forums lately. Yesterday, on september 9, the time has come for Mr. Jobs to introduce new products for the christmas business, such as:

Here’s an iPhone App that made the cut – the iHologram. It works with both the iPod touch and iPhone, offering animations that seem to leap off the display in the manner 3D holograms would. According to designer David O’Reilly, “The application works by assuming a constant viewing angle (35-45 degrees), typical for when the device is placed on a tabletop. The 3D scene’s perspective is warped using anamorphosis, the same technique used in Hans Holbein’s painting The Ambassadors. This application does the exact same but updates dynamically.” The project is still just conceptual, but the designer plans on releasing a real app as soon as he finds a capable programmer. Good luck!
