It's functionality that's already available for a range of popular phones, including the N95, the Skypephone S2, and the forthcoming INQ Facebook phone, but it's something that a lot of iPhone users would kill for - the ability to use the iPhone as a 3G modem. The iPhone's carrier in the USA, AT&T, announced last night that it would release some software to enable this functionality on the device. There has previously been two options for using your iPhone as a 3G modem, but one was removed from the App store and the other only works on jailbroken iPhones. It'll almost certainly cost users more money, and the connection won't be fast enough to do much more than load a few websites, but it's a nice feature addition to the device, for US users. I wonder if O2 has anything similar in the works over here. AT&T (via Technologizer) Related posts: Skypephone S2 offers this functionality out of the box | So will the INQ Facebook phone
