iOS version 4.1 was released for the iPhone 2 weeks ago, but I have yet to update my phone because it's currently jailbroken, and I'd like to keep it that way.  I hope there comes a day when iOS has every feature that I could ever ask for, but we are not quite there yet.

If there's one common complaint of the iPhone, especially from tech heads, it's that it's too restrictive.  The other major complaint being AT&T's network.  For what I can only guess as a measure to reduce the strain on AT&T's network, certain data intensive apps have limitations when operating over 3G. Here's where 3G Unrestrictor comes in handy. (If you're on a lower-tier data plan then you'll probably want to steer clear of apps like this because you'll find yourself consuming much more data.)

Did you know that the quality of YouTube videos differs depending on whether you're on wifi or 3G?  For those that have iPhone 4's, you've undoubtedly tried face-timing while over 3G and found that you can't.  3G Unrestrictor lifts those limitations, and provides you with apps that act the same whether they're on wifi or 3G.  Keep in mind that depending on network speeds, you might have to wait a little longer for videos to load, but at least you'll have access to the same high quality versions when the network speeds allow for it.  You simply choose the apps that you want the restriction lifted from.

The number of apps with 3G restrictions are going down, the most famous being Skype which did not allow calls over 3G until recently, but many still do exist, and will continue to until the network is overhauled to withstand a larger volume of data consumption.  In the meantime, it's nice being able to have that freedom a lot sooner.
