Apple Officially Dropping 3G Restrictions For Apps
With the Anouncment of the iPad yesterday came the release of the iPhone 3.2 SDK. One thing that has already been noted is the end of restrictions on apps that would normally be forced to depend on a WiFi connection.
This now paves the way for many apps such as Skype and other VoiP applications to finally release versions that can run on a 3G signal, rather than depending on WiFi.
For jailbroken users there has been a way around this for a while now in the form of 3GUnrestrictor, a paid app available from the Cydia store that allowed you to unrestrict apps on a per app basis.
This new move by Apple came to light yesterday when the makers of iCall, an App Store VoiP application, announced that they had now released their unrestricted version of their app.
This now means that the 3G iPad can be used to make phone calls when out of WiFi area. And it’s good news for non-jailbroken iPhone users too.
