Yesterday the iPhone OS 3.0 firmware was released, and tomorrow the iPhone 3G S is available online and from select stores.

The new iPhone 3G S has a 600MHz CPU and 256MB of RAM, up from a 412MHz and 128MB RAM in the 412MHz in the first-gen and the 3G iPhones (from Engadget Mobile). That should certainly provide a Speed Boost.

In “Need for Speed“, my blog entry about the new iPhone (”iPhone 3G S”) and the iPhone 3.0 OS update, I mentioned “Jailbreak” twice.

Now I understand that some of my readers do not want to Jailbreak their iPhones (or iPods). That is perfectly valid. I felt like that for the first six months that I had my iPhone 3G, and found all the “How To Jailbreak” videos from major tech websites mildly aggravating.

I’m going to have to make a hard decision whether to sit it out until the iPhone OS 3.0 can be easily Jailbroken, or do without all the tools I’ve grown used to over the past few months. From what I see the OS 3.0 cut, copy and paste are better integrated into the OS than the Jailbroken one was, but that is to be expected. Other than that, I’ve grown so used to the SBSettings app, which will pop-up with simple left to right swipe on the Status bar and from there it is one tap to toggle Wi-Fi, and two taps through the Power icon to reboot the iPhone.
