Shame it requires iPhone OS3.1, as I'm unwilling to upgrade due my love of the jailbreak-free tethering possible on 3.0

Can any iPhone developers comment as to what was added in the 3.0 to 3.1 upgrade to make you target the newer OS?

The biggest new features in SDK3.1 were related to video, the rest were minor additions. A lot of developers target 3.1 accidently though because it's the default.

jailbreak-free tethering

Do you have a link handy? This sounds awesome.
