iPhone OS 3.1 Doesn’t Break AT&T Tethering

Yesterday I was nearly drooling to get iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3.1 installed on my gear.  I really wanted to organize my apps  in iTunes.  Some weeks back I did the small hack that enables tethering on my iPhone and was almost certain the 3.1 update would squash the bug that allows the yet unprovided AT&T feature.  The new iTunes function for organizing my apps only works after the 3.1 upgrade so I had to make a decision.  I certainly didn’t want to lose my ability to tether, but I really needed to get my 11 pages of apps organized and the thought of doing it with the wiggly icons on my phone was just too painful to consider.  So I upgraded to 3.1 and guess what?  Tethering still works!  This sure fooled me.  I thought Apple, AT&T or both would want to get rid of the hole that allows this hack, but obviously it isn’t a big enough problem to show up on their collective radars.  Yet.
