It's gonna take me a while to figure this thing out. Or better yet, I'll just ask my kids how to work it.
I picked up the new 3gs this morning.

A new TOY for Fathers Day.

I was just going to order online - but I have an issue trying to get my card out of my current phone -- I have dropped it so many times that I think it might be jammed in there - can't get it out the paper clip way - or any way - she is stuck. I might have to have the AT&T "experts" get it out.

I have heard the mention of tethering - but tell me what that is.

why do you need a card out of your current phone? the simm card?

Tethering (external link) is a way to use the 3g connection from the iPhone to have a computer with WiFi access the internet. At least that is how I understand it.

Yes - that should be fine. It should work the same way that the multiple iPods work -

I just looked up tethering - neat - I could then use my laptop anywhere with my phone....great just another cost I am going to be paying out.

Has anyone had a chance to try out the camera on their new 3GS yet?

The camera on my 3G is bad news ... even with the 3.0 firmware.
