For those owners who have unlocked and jailbroken their 3GS 3.1.2 OS – DO NOT update to the new 3.1.3 OS if you have not backed up your signed signature. Wait for the Dev Team or Geohot to deliver the Hack for 3.1.3. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

“There’s NO chance that the iPhone will get any significant market share. NO CHANCE. It’s a $500 subsidized item. They may make a lot of money, but if you actually take a look at the 1.3 billion phones that gets sold; I prefer to have our software in 60-80 percent in them then I would to have 2-3 percent – which is what Apple might get.” – Steve Ballmer Microsoft CEO, April 30, 2007

Remember how those ‘iPhone haters’ (Monkey Boy and Co.) pretty much predicted the doom for the iPhone? Now, if you recall some of these ‘haters’ also predicted the iPhone’s doom in the Japanese market. If you are one of those ‘iPhone-will-not-work-in-Japan-because-the-Japanese-network-is-far-too-advanced-for-it’ and those ‘Japan-hates-iPhone’ read this and you find that having an open mind will just make you look a lot less stupid after the test of time.

“For Softbank’s chairman and chief executive, the company’s role as the only official supplier of the iPhone in Japan gives it a strong attraction in a consumer market characterized by a fascination for gadgetry. “When we launched the iPhone [in the summer of 2008], some people said those phones were not suited for Japanese cellphone users,” said Masayoshi Son at a news conference. Most Japanese cellphones are smaller and lighter than the Apple device. “But those [skeptics] have been proven completely wrong … The iPhone is selling so well that we are really feeling the boost from it,” Mr. Son said. He declined to say how many iPhones Softbank had sold, but described the handset as “the biggest contributor to third-quarter handset sales,” and “a major contributor to growth in data communication revenue.” – Wall Street Journal
