With all the updates 3 point this, 3 point that, the decision to update your iPhone firmware might make your head spin.  Don’t worry, we are here to set the record straight.

Experts say there’s no reason to update unless you’ve personally seen a problem with the reporting of your battery percentage or  issues with third party apps that might have trouble launching.  But for those of you cutting edger’s, you will update anyway. The PwnageTool 3.1.5 for Mac OS X will let you do so safely preserving your jailbreak and ultrasn0w unlock. (If you use the blacksn0w unlock (at baseband 05.11.07), you need to stay at 3.1.2.)

Any 3G and 3GS unlockers updating should always be aware and wary. If you make a mistake along the way, you may find yourself updating to official 3.1.3 in which case you will lose your unlock, possibly forever.

Regarding jailbreaking, any 3GS users should stay away from this and all 3.1.3  jailbreak tools, unless you are certain you have your “SHSH hashes” backed up in Cydia.

So, to be or not to be in 3.1.3?  It’s up to you.  It’s not a earth shattering update, but could benefit some of you.  If you are unsure or have any questions,  don’t hesitate to consult with us first!!!!!

Apple finally approved the 3G-streaming capable version of the popular TV-streaming iPhone application, SlingPlayer. As most of us know, Sling, Apple, and AT&T and previously tussled over the concept of streaming live TV over AT&T’s 3G bands, as they had suspected that it would place to much strain on the network, especially with the popularity of the iPhone. However, just like their recent lift on the VoIP ban, which AT&T anticipated would keep people from using their AT&T minutes by using a service like Skype to make calls instead, AT&T seem to have lifted this “live TV streaming” ban as well. Until now, only jailbreakers who had paid for a premium app such as 3G Unrestrictor or My3G were able to stream Sling over the 3G airwaves, but it looks like today, everyone is free to watch Sling on their iPhone at their leisure.

I can also personally confirm that streaming works on EDGE as well (this is good for you T-Mobile customers =])
