You do.

And you should always update to the latest Patch. Each provides enhancements over the previous including important security updates.

Additionally these updates are usually required for certain Apps in the catalog both Palm's and Homebrew.

There's is no real argument to not update at any point as long as you follow all directions properly, namely with patches.

If you have the paid/donated version of mytether you can still use wifi tethering. Unfortunately, the camera app, video playback and maybe some other things do not work when this is enabled. Fortunately, aonic has created an on device patch enabler that allows you to toggle between being able to wifi tether and being able to use the camera.
