Loading ...Restless iPhone users have been waiting impatiently for a number of much needed improvements and features. 
Chief among these are the ability to cut and paste and to tether an iPhone to a laptop. AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph De La Vega has confirmed in recent interviews that a tethering option will soon be available, allowing users to surf the Internet on their laptop via the iPhone’s 3G data connectivity. However, it is widely believed that this will come at an additional monthly fee (of course).
It is also rumored that iPhone firmware update 2.2 is coming as soon as November 21st. While the update is believed to include changes to the App Store, Podcast downloads via WiFi, Street views in Google Maps, among other improvements to performance, it is not believed to include the much needed cut and paste ability that users have been asking for. The 2.2 update has been expected and delayed for several weeks.
And finally, iPhone has become the number one selling wireless handset in America, knocking Motorola’s less expensive and more widely available SLVR V3 to 2nd place. While impressive by any account, Apple’s top ranking is even more interesting considering that the iPhone is sold only by one carrier in the United States, while the SLVR is sold by nearly every carrier.
It’s quickly becoming an iPhone world.
