I jailbroke my 3gs a couple years ago with the same idea in mind. A development platform it is not. I liked the idea of being able to connect to a server from the bus and restart a service or what have you, but for the frustration involved it's just not worth it. I'd far rather haul an Air around and tether it to my phone.
- jcitme 15y agoI'll disagree on this point. I've used my 3GS for two years, and it served well as a quick and dirty way to develop in... unusual places. I'm not even talking about SSHing into another computer; just to localhost, quickly using vi to change a file, then running a git commit is ridiculously convenient for someone who doesn't own an Air and doesn't want to lug his laptop around. The only problem, really, is the speed, which I agree isn't the fastest, but the iPhone 4 is really usable. When I upgrade to the 4S in a year or so, it'll probably be ready for most stuff I want to do in a pinch.
