iPhone 3.0 beta 2 tethering how to
April 3rd, 2009 • 9 comments Apple, Internet, Mac, iPhone
In iPhone 3.0 beta 1, tethering didn’t work. In beta 2, it does and it’s really simple to achieve. It does require a quick mod to your iPhone. Here’s what you have to do:
1. Download the o2_uk.ipcc carrier details file. Please note that this is the UK ipcc file. If you’re not on O2 in the UK, search google for your suitable ipcc file.
2. Connect iPhone to PC / Mac and select to restore with the option to select a custom restore package (hold down option on Mac before selecting restore)
3. Select the ipcc file as the restore package. The change of details on the phone takes only a few seconds and doesn’t require an iPhone reboot
4. Go into iPhone Settings app > General > Network > Internet Tethering and enable.
5. Connect iPhone to PC / Mac over USB or bluetooth
6. The PC / Mac will do the rest
7. Done!
Works great (i’m posting via tethering now)

Sproutcore – 1st impressions

Today i had a short play with Sproutcore (the “Cocoa for the Web” JS framework used by and optimized by Apple for me.com) for the first time. I was a little surprised with what i found.
The Great
- The development tools are in Ruby using the merb framework
- The development tools adopt a Rails like MVC architectural pattern, with commands like
sc-gen model example/contact
sc-gen controller example/detail
sc-gen view example/card
- The development tools include build tools that prepare all JS, HTML and CSS ready to be distributed.
sc-build - The development tools have a bunch of ruby (rails-style) helpers
<%= button_view :my_button, :label => 'Here is a functioning button!' %>
- It doesn’t work with the latest version of Merb (0.9.9 RC1) and doesn’t appear happy even having it around (even if 0.9.4 is installed, if seems to force a removal of 0.9.9 in order to work) – Patch submitted, but only recently.
