iPhone 3G is out
Thursday, June 12th, 2008The iPhone 3G is out. Apple sells it as twice as fast half the price. Indeed, it looks pretty cool.
Some interesting related news:
- The NYT writes that New iPhone Pricing Model Is a Step Backward for Consumers since by subsidizing the cost of the new iPhone and locking customers into a two-year contract, AT&T is returning to a more traditional U.S. pricing model for cellphones.
- Apple has replaced .Mac with MobileMe. There is also an open source implementation, Funanbol that does many of the same things.
- From the NYT, Take That, Google: No Ads From Apple. Apple is showing new ways for the iPhone to check news, sports and e-mail. But it appears to be willing to ask users to pay fees to do so rather than subsidizing content and services with advertising.
