iPhone 4: Drool-Worthy
The Atlantic Wire has a good summary of the reasons that the iPhone 4 looks to be a worthy upgrade. Time to start a new budget envelope. Now to just talk AT&T into letting me restart this contract.
This hi-res image gives some idea of how improved the resolution is on the new iPhone. Nice and crisp:
Usable Apps Weekly
Please welcome Jason Morales, 98 Pound Geekling’s first staff member. He’s working for zero pay, but he is excited to be our new “Apps Pimp” (yes, that’s his official title), whose primary mission is to tell me about apps that I can’t live without for at least a week or so. Jason’s iPhone 3GS is currently home to a legendary amount of apps, 90% of which he...
Is The End Near for Apple’s Exclusive Contract with AT&T?
The first question during the Q&A of Apple’s Conference Call on Monday went straight to the question of whether or not AT&T would remain an exclusive carrier for service on the iPhone. It’s an important question, since Apple is bound by contract to miss a huge portion of the market, thanks to their firm handshake with AT&T.
Tim Cook, Apple’s COO, had an indirect answer...
iPhone OS 4.0 Wish List
BoyGenius is reporting that they have “some exclusive iPhone OS 4.0 details” from one of their trusted inside sources. Sounds like it will be a significant upgrade which may give a fresh feel to 3G and 3GS iPhones.
If I could ask Apple for only one thing, I would vote for an improved navigation method for getting to the many apps on my phone. Some users like myself have nearly 100 apps...
iPhone 3G: First Impressions
Without diving into the frustrations surrounding the activation problems that 99.9% of new iPhone owners experienced, I am glad to report that I now own a 16GB black iPhone 3G. Overall I am thrilled with it and don’t regret joining the line in Nashville at 5:45 a.m. yesterday morning. It was actually fun, thanks to my wife who came along and some terrific people next to me in line.
The iPhone...
iPhone 3G is Cheaper… if You Qualify
AT&T has announced iPhone pricing details and the the good news is that you can buy one without a contract. The bad news is that if you don’t sign a contract it will cost you $400 more.
On Tuesday of last week, AT&T announced the various voice and data plans available for the iPhone, and gave tips on how to be “iReady” when iPhone 3G goes on sale at AT&T retail stores...
iPhone Holdouts Licking Their Chops
Those who are waiting for the next version of the iPhone to come out continue to see signs that point to a June announcement at the World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June.
O2, one of Apple’s iPhone distributors in England, has said that in only a few weeks, their iPhone stock has dwindled after they cut the prices on the 8GB model by about 37%. Carphone, Europe’s largest independent...
The iPhone is Still Launching
Two articles this week reinforced my belief that the iPhone is still in launch mode, and will be for a long time.
The first was by Eric Zeman at Information Week. He was one of the many bloggers who noticed Apple COO Tim Cook’s comments at a Goldman Sachs event for investors. Cook said that Apple is “not married to any business model” when it comes to selling the iPhone. He also...
iPhone and iPod Touch Capacity Doubles
Apple has granted my wishes and doubled the iPhone’s capacity to 16GB. They’ve also made available a 32 GB iPod Touch. Both are available for $499. I guess they figure that if people are willing to spend $399 that they would easily drop another $100 for double the space. Press release with all the details here.
So once again, those who are waiting have to ask, “How long...
iPhone Price Drop Coming by May?
It’s from a few of days ago, but I ran across this article at ZDNet explains that Apple is at a point with the iPhone where they must drop the price of the current model in order to draw in a wider range of users. I would add that we can probably also expect to see a 16 GB model at the current price of $399 sometime before May (Steve’s not taking my calls, but I’ve been trying to...
