A Swedish Apple fan sent an email to Steve jobs this week asking him about the possibility of iPad tethering with the iPhone. Steve Jobs did reply to the guy’s email, saying “No”.

Who is getting rich off the iPhone?
Here’s an awesome info graphic by GigaOM which shows how much everyone is earning off the iPhone. If you thought that it’s just Apple, you’ve been wrong the whole time. AT&T isn’t in the deal with Apple just for nothing.
And for those who always wondered, the 16GB iPhone 3G S costs just $178.96 to make and is advertised for $199 ( contract charges not included ). This price doesn’t include the data plan revenue on top of it that AT&T earns from a 2 year contract, which costs around $720.
No wonder Steve Jobs and Apple are enjoying the recession.

No Nike + iPod for iPhone 3G
Strange but true. The second generation iPod Touch and iPod Nano were the first to get the Nike + iPod integration. The new iPhone 3G S also has it. You’d expect iPhone 3G to have gotten it as well. But, even though it has the capabilities to work with it, it’s locked out.

No Voice Control for iPhone 3G, iPod Touch and first gen iPhone
One of the main features of iPhone 3G S is called Voice Control, which allows you to place a call or play music just by using voice commands. It’s not part of the iPhone OS 3.0 as everyone presumed. The reason behind this can be attributed to the faster processor and larger amount of RAM in iPhone 3G S, which makes it more suitable for an intensive task such as Voice Control. Even the current generation iPod Touch, which has a support for a mic which you can Skype with, doesn’t support this feature. The iPod Touch is a bit faster in performance than the iPhone 3G, so Voice Command could be touted as a main selling point to give users a reason to upgrade to the iPhone 3G S.
