I thought Apple was going to stop updating the iPhone 3G at iOS 5. MyWi works fine on mine, except it can drain the battery even if the iPhone is connected to a power source. This only happens when using for Netflix or other data-intensive processes. Maybe that's why the 3G won't see iOS 4.3.
WPA protection for personal hotspot?
hope someone who installs the beta can confirm if personal hotspot is infrastructure or ad hoc (and if passcode is WPA).

Yes. People don't seem to understand lag. Airplay does not do realtime. That would be a significant restrictive factor to gaming. Now there is one co. that MR news'd about that has developed a game that works with the iPad connected to the TV via the Apple cable, and then using an iPhone as the controller of the game. That is a more realistic scenario. Make the iPad the console, and the iPhone a gyroscopic touch sensitive controller.
Personal Hotspot would be nice ONLY if its included with an unlimited plan which I still have. I had been using MyWi but I needed to update to the latest firmware to have my favorite two apps work properly (slingplayer, hulu plus) Pretty much the only reason why I jailbreak is for mywi and iRealSMS. I wont hold my breath for my favorite two apps being updated to take advantage of airplay. Slingmedia is notorious for taking forever for any updates, but I cant think of anything I wouldnt like more than to stream slingplayer to my apple tv.
Can somebody do a video and upload it to YouTube and post it here showing all the new features on the iPhone and iPad. I'm too cheap to pay the $99 developer fee as that's more than twice the amount of allowance I get in 4 weeks. K thanks
AAAAHH THANKSSS APPLEE!!! I love you so much!!!!
With wifi hotspot as well, there's no reason for me to jailbreak anymore...
My guess is that they stripped everything they could out of 4.1/4.2 to get it to run acceptably on a 3G, and since this release increases the weight of the OS again, they just hit the limit. It looks messy though having an iPhone model EOL'd half way through the typical yearly cycle.

The apple tv has the exact same specs as the iPad and it's already connected to my tv with a cable. You WILL be able to develop interactive apps that support airplay like games, they will simply run realtime on the appleTV processor not streaming as a video from the device you're using as a controller.

But I would imagine the potential of Apps eventually being supported on ATV which would allow the iPhone/iPod to remote control the ATV App.
So you would purchase the Chopper 2 app for AppleTV, then fire up the Chopper 2 app on your iPhone, which then connects to your ATV to remote control Chopper 2 on your ATV (similar to how Chopper 2 works for iPad).
I also doubt that this will be included in iOS 4.3
Technically it might however be possible with the iPhone/iPad hardware as the A4 chip can already do real-time h.264 coding. If it can encode a raw 1280x720 video stream from the camera, it might also be capable of coding a 960x480 or 1024x768 screen buffer?
Thank God!
This has been annoying me on an almost daily basis since they took it away.
I know a lot of people on these forums were complaining and sending feedback to Apple. Proof again perhaps that on rare occasion Apple does adjust things based on consumer feedback.
Are you trying to say that you've still got iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G? Pah-leease.
I wonder if this still means that you would have to give up unlimited Data and go with 2-gig plan to tether / hotspot ???
Except that right now the Apple TV doesn't support apps/games. The iPad does. So for now that means developers can use the iPad game/console, iPhone controller model until the Apple TV can be the console and the iPhone or iPad the controller. And honestly an iPhone will probably be better as a controller. Remember, in either situation the device would be a controller, and not running the actual app. The problem with the Angry Birds situation is that in streaming the entire App, you have lag.
The iPad gestures sound pretty cool! I'm almost tempted to install it on my iPad, except that I am kind of afraid of losing productivity if there are any bugs. I'm too poor of a developer to afford a dedicated development device.
