iPhone Internet Tethering on AT&T Network.

Many wonders when AT&T would give Apple the go to enable Internet Tethering on the iPhone. Well, I guess we all have to wait. The year 2009 is coming to a close and for sure we won’t see such announcement from AT&T this year.

And then I saw this:

After restoring an iPhone to OS 3.1.2 I noticed that the Data Roaming was on and there’s the option for setting up Internet Tethering. For some reasons it did not work, but the option was there. No, the iPhone was not and still is not jail broken.

Tell me that I’m not somehow travelled into the near future for a while there.

Nexus One, Here I come!

It seems that I’ll be getting Nexus One, the fabled Google phone. Since Reuters broke the story and picked up by the Android Guys; it is really likely I’d be getting Nexus One this January 2010.

From Android Guys:

Here’s the price: $199 unlocked in stores. $100 rebate online if you have an active and old Google account. That $100 rebate is either to buy it $99 online from Google’s online phone store, for using on Android Marketplace or for using on any Google Checkout stores. Can also be used for T-Mobile or AT&T pre-paid Data SIM card service at $29 per month, no contracts required.

What does “old Google account” mean?

I know that I have google account when it was first in invitation only phase.

We’ll find out in January 2010.

p.s. I read it via Hacker News.

AT&T allows VoIP on 3G for the iPhone.

It’s like the day that would never come but we knew that it would someday. AT&T has just releases a statement that they will allow Voice over IP (VoIP) on their 3G network for the iPhone.

This means the next version of Skype iPhone App will be able to make voice calls when it’s on the 3G network in addition to the Wi-Fi network.

Read the Press Release here.

AT&T today announced it has taken the steps necessary so that Apple can enable VoIP applications on iPhone to run on AT&T’s wireless network. Previously, VoIP applications on iPhone were enabled for Wi-Fi connectivity. For some time, AT&T has offered a variety of other wireless devices that enable VoIP applications on 3G, 2G and Wi-Fi networks. AT&T this afternoon informed Apple Inc. and the FCC of its decision.

There’s no word about Google Voice and SlingPlayer type service yet.

Previously AT&T prohibited VoIP apps such as Skype to make audio calls on the 3G network.
