Is there a list of the iOS 4 features that are disabled on the 3G? I'm trying to decide if it's worth my time to upgrade.
Got a tip for us?

The main features you will miss out on are Multitasking and the Home Screen Wallpaper. I jailbroke my iPhone 3g with iOS4 and ended up reverting back to the GM iOS4. Multitasking and Home screen Wallpaper were left off by Apple for one main reason - those features slow down the camera.
We decided to get the iPhone 4 for both my wife and I - will likely use the old 3G phones as iPod Touches...
Where did you find that information?? They only said no multitasking on 3G
I would like to see wallpaper feature on Monday
Finally... find another way to enable~

Then I only tick Enable multitasking, home screen wallpaper and battery percentage, WITHOUT Cydia
PS: I just want to enable the feature like 3Gs~ Cheers

He's right. No home wallpapers unless you jailbreak it. And Apple said, "some features aren't supported."Where did you find that information?? They only said no multitasking on 3G

I put ios4 on an iPhone 3G, and used the redsn0w hack to give it multitasking and wallpaper. Everything runs smoothly unless you have 5 or 6 apps running at the same time, that does tend to slow the 3G down quite a bit.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me.
I'm a bout to get a really cheap ($40) 8gb iPhone 3g from cell provider, so it's possible to upgrade to iOS4 and have multitasking, am I right?
Multitasking is not supported by iPhone 3G, but there is a way around it. I have it on a 3g and it works great! You will just have to use redsn0w to crack it.
so is possible to upgrade to iOS 4 and enable multitasking via redsn0w...
Do you have video with the update?

Download redsn0w and follow those and tick Enable multitasking, home screen wallpaper and battery percentage. Cheers
After you done all that, your iOS4 will have all the same feature same as 3Gs and 4 : )

I did the jailbreak and elected for the multitasking and the background. I didnt want the battery percentage, not knowing weather or not it would be very accurate. I also am not interested in Cydia at this time, so I also didnt add that. To my surprise, it actually runs pretty snappy on my 3G. However, I know if I ever want to add Cydia or get the battery percentage, all I have to do is rerun the jailbreak.

Does the jailbreak ask you which options to choose from (ie multitasking, background, cydia, battery percentage), or do you need to do something else after you do the jailbreak to enable those features?
Redsn0w lets you choose the individual options, PwnageTool 4.0 is either all off or all on.
