The whole reason Apple had to release 3.0.1... Sending "special" texts to your phone on 3.0.0 people can hijack it
Like many others I feel no need to update to 3.1. I have a hard time dealing with the un-jailbroken iPhone. It's still an awesome platform but it's like kissing your sister...... It's fun for a while but you'd rather not do it for long. I have every thing I need on 3.0.1, tether, mms, and a kick butt personalized phone. I will not be updating until jb is ready.

Speaking of, I don't guess anyone was ever attacked?
I'm sure if it did happen it would be top news here.
iTunes 9 + iPhone 3GS + OS 3.1 = There is no need to jailbreak.
Glad your happy... but I don't see what that formula proves about there being no need... I do see that it proves you can't yet.
What if you wanted to theme your phone? What if you wanted to be able to use VOIP or Slingbox over 3G? What if you wanted to get all of your missed calls, calendar entries and emails on your lockscreen for fast access along with weather? How about hiding icons? Maybe getting a Notification icon on the statusbar so if you're in an app and feel your phone vibrate you know what the heck it's for?
I can think of lots of reasons why, even with iTunes 9, 3Gs and OS3.1 (which added nothing useful), you'd possibly have a need to jailbreak...
If you're content, fine.
