The iPhone Dev-Team has successfully completed the upgrade of a jailbroken iPhone 3GS from 3.0 to 3.1 without losing the jailbreak. 

CPICH confirmed the news from his twitter account. 

This means that we will likely see an update to PwnageTool which will add support for creating a custom ipsw that will be used to upgrade your iPhone 3GS.

A little while ago I showed some pictures that showed the ability to edit video on the “old” iPhone EDGE/3G through a small change to a. Plist. This file is not new but has been tested on firmware beta. Today, our Pagaman1 tried on the 3.0 firmware and was able to discover the ability to trigger the display of video editing and also directly on the same “old” iPhone 3G and EDGE.

Technically, it is then possible to use some functions reserved exclusively all’iPhone 3GS also on our previous models, but unfortunately I could not in any way to enable both functions of Video Editing and Camera , And then find the following guide to enable only the first function.

Requirements

• An iPhone with firmware 3.0 beta Jailbroken
• A client SSH on your computer

Download

• Download the file: M68AP.plist

Help

1st First extract the files on your desktop that you just downloaded. Connect to SSH into your device and entered into this path: / System / Library / CoreServices / SpringBoard.app

2nd Run a backup of the original file called “M68AP” and then sovrascrivetelo with M68AP.plist file you just downloaded from iSpazio.

3rd Now insert a video (MOV format) in cameraroll. You can download this for example: IMG_0011.MOV and put it in / var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE

4th Run a Respring.

5th Start the camera and click the button at the bottom left to open CameraRoll. You’ll notice a new subdivision in “All Photos and Videos” and you can start the movie that you have previously uploaded.

6th As you can see him move between frames, select the area you are interested in and cut.

Final Notes

To re-enable the camera, you need to restore the original file M68AP.plist. If there is a good person to me who is able to modify other files, for leave to live with these two options, I will be pleased host the package on Cydia. I thankAntonio Outbuildings Pagaman1 for egnalazione today through this video (not Italian):

A few websites are reporting this morning that Hong Kong sent a network-wide SMS notifying iPhone owners that OS 3.0 will be available on June 18th, 01:00 local time. That puts it at

10:00am Pacific 
12:00pm Central 
01:00pm Eastern (Trinidad & Tobago time)
06:00pm Greenwich Mean Time

Personally based on Apple’s announcements coming at 10am PT, this time doesn’t surprise me. Now we wait & see.

It is now rumored that Apple will introduce a third-generation iPhones in six configurations: two capacities each for three different models that will sport wireless hardware to match the speeds of wireless networks across the world.

The rumor suggest that countries with 3G speeds capable of 7.2Mbps downloads will get the high end model and other countries will receive a version similar to the current iPhone 3G capable of 3.6Mbps 3G downloads.

China for example could get its own version of the iPhone with limited in functionality and relying on the Gov’t backed TD-SCDMA standard. All three new models will look nearly identical to the current iPhone but sport a “less scratchable matte plastic body” according to iLounge and AppleInsider.

The report may offer clarity to references to two new iPhone models in betas of Apple’s iPhone Software 3.0 — iPhone 2,1 and iPhone 3,1 — as well as a third conspicuous reference to “ChinaBrick.”
Also according to the latest rumors, Apple will introduce a new version of its iPod nano with a wider screen and built-in camera later this year after first introducing three new iPhone models distinguished by their network hardware, according to a new report.

iLounge is corroborating a recent rumor that has the third-generation iPod nano gaining a point-and-shoot digital camera similar to the one found on the iPhone. Also a smaller click-wheel, making room for larger screen real estate.

Meanwhile a camera placed on the lower left-hand side of the nano’s rear will reportedly pave the way for the iPod to dual as digital camera when it’s held in landscape mode and gripped by its corners.

To participate developers are asked to: 
1. Download the pre-release version of the Associated Press app for iPhone OS 3.0 from the iTunes Store via your desktop by entering this unique redemption code in the ‘Redeem’ section of iTunes, found under the ‘Quick Links’ section

This unique redemption code and the functionality of the application will expire in seven days.
