Jay Freeman (Saurik), the developer behind the infamous Cydia store for iPhone has found a way to downgrade iPhone 3GS from firmware 3.1 to firmware 3.0. This process will only work for those who have saved their SHSH to Cydia Server, for more on SHSH, read the complete detail blog post by Saurik here. Also to note here is that while this method will help you downgrade your firmware from 3.1 to 3.0, your baseband will not be downgraded which means you cant unlock it for now.
The following step by step guide will help you downgrade your iPhone with firmware 3.1 to firmware 3.0.1. For those of you who upgraded to iPhone 3.1 may have found your device to be locked and un-jailbreakable as the tools for jailbreaking and unlocking are not out yet for iPhone OS 3.1. Fortunately, there is still a way to downgrade your phone from firmware 3.1 to 3.0.1. I have tried it on my iPhone 3G and it works perfectly on it.
The built-in Disk Management tool in Windows 7 hasn't changed much from the Vista days and is still missing some of the most important and basic features such as the ability to re-partition an existing primary system partition without having to reinstall Windows. This is where Partition Wizard comes in - a free partition manager which supports 32/64 bit Windows Operating System including Windows XP, Windows Vista , Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows 7.
With over 4 billion people on earth extensively using cell phones, the demand for new devices has gone up manifold. There is also a major concern in the minds of the users about the radiations emitted by these devices. Apple has made remarkable improvement in bringing down the iPhone 3GS radiation emissions, making it far more safer for its consumers but it is still not good enough to be among the top 10 cell phone’s ranked by radiation.

There is no doubt about the fact that iPhone is one of the most popular cell phone out there. The argument for a longer battery life on the iPhone is relative in terms of its user requirement. If used as a cell phone, for the primary purpose that it has been designed for, the battery life would be fine and will last probably all day. However, if someone likes to use it as portable computer which I assume most iPhone users are doing, for checking email, web browsing, playing games etc, then the battery is comparable to that of any standard notebook at best.
