Today has been a great day for the Apple iPhone lovers. Apple has released new iTunes 2.1.1 and new firmware 2.0.2 for the Apple iPhone.
The new firmware promises to solve the bunch of 3G issues that the people have been facing. I hope that it has been solved via firmware.
A Brazlian company is claiming to be the first one to unlock an iPhone 3G. It has been done by using a SIM card adapter. The trick they have used has been used many times to make the phone think that it is on the approved network but actually it is not.
Here is the video related to it:
Apple says that the copy and paste functions were omitted from the iPhone 3G just because they are of low priority. These functions were put at the end of the ‘Apple’s wishlist‘.
..and then they say, we won’t offer any support to the jailbroken iPhones and iPod Touches :!:
Mr. Jobs must on cloud 9 at the moment. The apple has sold over a million phones in it’s first weekend. This has been a stunning weekend for the Apple.
“iPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s
CEO. “It took 74 days to sell the first one million original iPhones, so
the new iPhone 3G is clearly off to a great start around the world.”
Due to the overwhelming demand of the new iPhone 3G, the servers were brought to their toes when thousands (millions?) of new iPhone owners tried to activate their iPhone 3Gs. AT&T is actually sending customers home with their new iPhones and telling them to activate via iTunes.
So, you are left with a shiny new device with the emergency mode. Cool!
Super cool guys at ifixit have successfully dissected the iPhone 3G at 0001h, July 11, 2008! Now that’s cool :D
iFixit.com dudes flew to New Zealand to be the ones first to buy and disassemble the iPhone 3G. Call that madness or craziness!

Joos has managed to port Flash onto an iPhone in order to run an event guide he had prepared for a local music festival. While the developer hasn’t managed to make Flash run as a browser plug-in he has managed to get the Adobe multimedia software running.
The original iPhone came with $499 and $599 price tags. Then came the iPhone 3G, which was introduced with lower price tags than it’s elder brother, $199 and $299.
Over the course of a two-year contract, the original iPhone user paid $1,839 for hardware and monthly fees. For the iPhone 3G, it comes out to be $1999 for a two-year contract!
The iPhone 3G also comes with exchange support. A catch is there too! While the windows mobile and blackberry users do not have to pay anything for the exchange support, iPhone 3G users will have to pay additional $15 for that.
..so much for being cheaper :o
