I finally broke down last night and jailbroke my iPhone 3G. Other then the issue with USB on the new MacBooks/10.5.6 it was surprisingly easy. Few things I'm loving so far:
Backgrounder - I can listen to Pandora while reading Kindle for iPhone
PDANet - I can tether my iPhone and MacBook, and everything works (Mail, Safari, iChat, etc.)
Categories - my home screen is so much more organized now!
Netatalk - easy way to get files off the iPhone as if it was just another Mac on the network
Cydia - super easy to find and install all the software I mentioned above
I've been generally pretty happy with my iPhone in its stock configuration, but these are some nice additions. Now, if I lost them tomorrow it wouldn't be the end of the world, but I'll enjoy them while they work. I expect iPhone 3.0 (check Engadget/your favorite Apple blog on Tuesday) will break all of this at least for a little while.
