iPhone 2.1 represented both a large leap of stability across the OS and a brisk stride of new features in key areas like the iPod app and even SMS. Now that folks have dug through recent builds of the beta iPhone 2.2 updates, Apple will apparently maintain a casual jogging pace with new features, though you wouldn't know it from the release notes.
Few things go together better than Skype and smartphones. That's why the Skype application for the iPhone has been so successful. It was released at the end of March and, as of this May, it's been downloaded over 4 million times. That means that roughly one out of every ten of the 40 million iPhone users out there has Skype on their phone.

iPhone and iPhone 3G owners with the warranty-voiding fortitude to open up their handset to unofficial third-party applications - the process known as the "jailbreak" - have enjoyed the option to use their iPhone 3G as a wireless modem. By "tethering" an iPhone 3G to a laptop, users with jailbroken iPhone 3G's could take full advantage of their high-speed wireless data network on a full-fledged computer - all it required was a simple terminal command and a couple web browser tweaks.
