Before you get started you will need to download Proxifier .Proxifier is a program that allows network applications that do not support working through proxy servers to operate through an HTTPS or SOCKS proxy or a chain of proxy servers.

You will also need to download and install NetShare from the Apple App Store

1. The First Step: Setup a new network on windows (call it netshare). To do this you need to go into your network connections and right click on your wireless connection. Then click the wireless networks tab. Click add. Name your network whatever. I call mine ?netshare.? Set net authentication to open and data encryption to disabled. click the box on the bottom that says ?this is a computer to computer ad-hoc network?
2. The Second Step: Connect to the ad-hoc network by disconnecting all other connections.
3. The Third Step: Go to the wifi networks on your iphone and select netshare. Set the IP address to 192.168.10.1 and the subnet to 255.255.255.0. Set it to use Static
4. The Fourth Step: Go to the TCP/IP settings and set your computer?s IP. To do this you need to right click on your wireless connection and click properties. Then left click on Internet Protocol TCP/IP and select properties. Select the use the following ip address box and set the IP to 192.168.11.4 then set the subnet to 255.255.255.0. Once you have the IP and Subnet set click OK.
5. The Fifth Step: Run the proxifier program
6. The Sixth Step: Select the proxy settings button on the tool bar
7. The Seventh Step: Click Add then enter 192.168.11.5 in the address and set the port to 1080. Select Socks ver 5 then click OK.
8. The Eighth Step: Tap on ?Settings? on your iPhone and select ?Wi-Fi?.? Tap on the blue Arrow next to the Wi-Fi network you created (should be netshare) and choose ?Static? for the ?IP Address? option.
9. The Ninth Step: Enter the iPhone IP address you entered into your PC earlier (I suggested you use 192.168.11.5) In the ?IP Address? field.
10. The Tenth Step: Press the home button on your iPhone then launch the NetShare app. You should be ready to go. Try and access a page on your PC?s internet browser. You should now have internet access on your PC provided by your iPhone.
11. The Eleventh Step: You can test the connection by using the proxy checker. Netshare should show your connections at 1 and the give you the current data rates

Troubleshooting: I found that NetShare doesn?t work well on a slow EDGE connection, even wnen configured correctly, if you don?t establish a quick EDGE connection before launching the NetShare app as instructed in The Tenth Step. What you can do is just before launching NetShare, launch Safari on your iPhone and load any webpage. Once the iPhone has established an EDGE connection and is downloading the webpage, hit the Home button, launch NetShare, and then try and access the web via your PC again. It should work this time.

Apple?s struggling to crank out enough iPhone 3G handsets to meet supply.

They?re in such high demand, the company?s on track to shift more than 40 million of the touchscreen mobiles in its first year alone.

That?s almost 7 times the amount it shifted of the first generation iPhone, but with demand outstripping supply, reports suggest Apple?s pushing its Far Eastern manufacturers to their full capacity.

According to TechCrunch, Apple?s manufacturing partner, Foxconn, is churning out iPhone 3Gs at the rate of 800,000 per week. But there could be trouble ahead, as that number is reportedly ?above current full capacity.? TechCrunch says that if it continues, there could be quality control issues around the corner.

Issues like cracking cases?

Apple is about to launch a mini version of the hugely successful iPhone. It is expected to be in the shops in time for Christmas. The new introduced device with be a smaller, cheaper ?iPhone nano? in time for Christmas gift shopping.

The report claims the new device will retail at up to $150. The Daily Mail cites industry sources for its claims.

?A cut down version, with the candy bar shape of iPod nano music players, would be a huge hit as a Christmas gift,? the industry insider told the Mail. The report speculates the nano phone will have a touch wheel on the back and a display on the front.

First intimation of Apple?s plan to launch an iPhone nano were revealed in April, when it emerged the company was considering the launch of an entry-level model to widen the reach of the iPhone.

Just as the iPod lineup developed and branched out, so does Apple have plans for the iPhone lineup. Here?s some of what is being considered:

A ?Pro? or ?Max? model, that is noticeably thicker than current model (over 15mm, versus 11.6mm for existing iPhone), to incorporate a battery with almost triple the duration of the existing iPhone. This model is also the 3G model. It is targeted for power users and enterprise, meaning people who may use their phone 2-3 days in a row (on a business trip) without accessing a PC or having the time or opportunity to charge it.

Existing iPhone stays the same, along with no 3G, just Edge.

Also being considered, and with engineering and development basically done, is a new entry model, that is slimmer than the iPod Touch (an amazing 6.2mm versus iPod Touch?s already amazing 8mm), and slightly less wide (58.6mm versus 61.8mm for iPod Touch). Screen size is the same; this width reduction comes from the casing. It does not offer video playback and has only 4GB. Could be as low as $159. Name to be determined, internally referred to as iPhone Shuffle, definitely not the final name. Edge, of course.

Be warned, all we’re reporting here are the latest speculation. We are not known as a rumor site of any accuracy, and we present this rumor and all rumors merely as topics of discussion for our readers.

You can?t stream music wirelessly from the iPhone to any supported Bluetooth headsets due to lack of support for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP). (see comments for details)

3. Flash doesn?t work

The best feature of iphone is to copy and paste long texts,sentences,phone no contacts etc.It will ease our work by many times that what we call ?smartphone?.Iphone doesn?t have this feature so please go and enjoy your ride over iphone 3G if you want to miss this feature

7. Same crappy camera

iphone 3g camera can?t cope shots in low-light and still have no flash.More over their isn?t any video recording capability either, even though this has been found on simple phones.You please enjoy your smartphone which can?t have basic features of simple phones.

Now some question are again unanswered like does iphone 3g cost $199? is it a good deal? or you are being fooled? Have you ever think that we have to sign a 2 year deal with a same network.So if we have to buy a iphone on $199 then we have to stick with AT&T and their incensed networks.Suppose we buyed the iphone and they change their network and calling rates. With a high rates does $199 deal is still good?
