iPad iPad + jailbroken iPhone with MyWi = amazing

I have non-jailbroken 3.1.3 and have MyWi running on it. I just created a wrapper on .app, codesign with my developer credentials, gets installed via Xcode and it works.
Currently figuring out how MyWi works. It's using private frameworks which Apple won't allow in the Appstore. Better if the just implement Wifi tether in the OS.
I never knew about this b/c I never jailbroke my iPhone which still is running on 3.1.2 so with that said, is it easy to jailbreak a phone? I did a quick youtube search & see a ton a videos on how to but wasn't sure which one I should follow. Can someone point me in the right direction & link me to the best how-to video so I can join in on the fun? thanks!
I"m using MyWi too and it is pretty amazing. Great speed!
I'm concerned that it's using a lot of data though. It seems to use more than if I just surf on the iphone. It will be interesting to see if this spike shows up on my ATT bill and if they do anything about it.
Interestingly last night my ipad ceased playing with my home router altogether (I am getting a bit mad at the wifi issue!) but I was able to connect via the iphone tether instead...
I'm on a UK 3g jailbroken and unlocked iphone. I need it to allow my ATT sim to work in the US and I'm keeping it on 3.01. Sooner or later I'm sure I'll have/want to update to 4.0 but I'd need to be convinced that a jailbreak is available that can keep the tethering/unlock option available.
I'm still wondering if I should swap the ipad for a 3g version though as I'm not worried about the cost but I'd like the flexibility. Right now given the wifi issue I figure I could get Apple to swap this model up. (timing is everything).

Guys, am I right in saying that i cannot JB my 3Gs - 3.1.3 (7E18)?
Never JB'd before and would not consider it if it wasnt for the MyWi

Yes i think it does unfortunately
unless the fee is to have your app available on the appstore??But i have hard that some developers shared their accounts to beta testers or something like that, i'm not sure about that though..
How would you do this? Just download the app from your iPhone via SCP to your computer? And then what? I'm just curious.
I'm a developer, but I've never installed someone else's App via XCode.
Thanks

Yes it does. That is for sure.
Does it work, though?
Official apps run in a sandboxed environment not sure if jailbreak apps modified to run using your developer credentials would work..
That's a better alternative to jail breaking.
Can you give us more details for people that don't develop?
Yes, you can do that with any compiled app. Just create a wrapper for it.
Yes, it will give you a binary certificate which is used to codesign(DRM) an app. I think there's stuff on the net that allows you to codesign using a dummy developer certificate.
There's no root access on non-jailbroken phone. So SCP won't work. Xcode's build workflow already does the copying. How else does your .app get installed for testing? This method works without jailbreaking.
Same with Mifis, don't even need an iPhone
This is becoming more and more apparent to me. I have Sprints Overdrive unit and 4g coming here in June, hell the 3g coverage is so much better so far on Sprints network than AT&T's I'm seriously considering dumping the iPhone for something else. (No clue what just yet) Every app i used on my iPhone daily is working on the iPad and imo many times more enjoyable on the larger screen.
I don't really have any major complaints with AT&T's voice service, but I'm done waiting for them to let us tether and with them specifically having a data plan for the iPad I doubt they will come out with a tethered solution anytime soon. I have no issues paying for the bandwidth, just done waiting for what is already available, and appearing to be just as fast in my area, with much better coverage. Sitting at my house, my iPhone has 3 bars of Edge only coverage... Sprint Overdrive device has 4 of 6 bars of 3g with speed tests showing 1.0 to 1.3mb dl speeds and 500 to 640kpbs up over the first week of use. My cable internet is cap'd at 3mb as I live outside a bit out of the metro area so the mifi unit is challenging the cable during peak hours for speed, which is sad...but a fact of what's available.
go to http://blackra1n.com download blackra1n. open it and with your iphone plugged into your computer click the big "make it rain" button.
your phone will be jailbroken in 30 seconds or so its really easy. this works on 3.1.2 but not 3.1.3
then install rock and download mywi there is a free trial
I accidently upgraded to 3.1.3 when I had to reload my iphone backup & I was able to JB it with redsn0w.
