“Our league has taken some big steps in the off season, and we think the iPhone application is among the biggest advances we’ve made,” said CEO Tom Doyle.  “Access to our teams, stats and players has now been made even more available thanks to the iPhone app.”

After seeing a concept video of Expose for the iPhone, Steven Troughton-Smith has created the real thing.

Troughton-Smith is the creator of the amazing Stacks utility which lets you stack icons in your iPhone dock, just like in Mac OS X.

After seeing the Ocean Observations concept video we posted several days ago, he has created Expose for the iPhone.

Noting that it should really be called Spaces, Troughton-Smith has posted a demo video of his working application. You can check it out below.

There are still some changes being made including possible UI tweaks. We will let you know once it becomes available.

9 to 5 Mac reports that it has received a note from an AT&T spokesperson asking the site to remove a reference suggesting that the company would support Internet tethering via the iPhone by the end of 2009.

We believed it was coming later this year, until we got a note from an AT&T spokeman. He told us to correct a post that said AT&T will be delivering tethering in 2009. Specifically, he said (his font color, not ours):

Apple is now shipping the iPhone 3GS with a new Bootrom that is not vulnerable to the 24kpwn exploit.

The iBoot-359.3.2 started to ship last week. A screenshot posted by Mathieulh shows the new version number.

MuscleNerd from the iPhone Dev-Team has confirmed that the loss of the 24kpwn exploit would mean a normal jailbreak would be impossible for the time being.

oh oh, from what @cpich3g + @Mathieulh have found so far, a normal untethered JB may be in jeopardy in brand new 3GS units

For the time being we would suggest locating old stock or refurbished units. Hopefully, the dev teams will be able to find another exploit for the new bootrom.
