amid hitting hype iphone model new shelves usual
San Francisco - Amid the kind of hype possible only for a new Apple product, the latest Apple iPhone is hitting stores Friday with reviews that say the iconic communications device mostly meets its high expectations. Stores in some 20 countries were opening their doors at 8am local time on July 11 to customers eager for the device. Lines were reported in Australia, New Zealand, Japan and across cities in the US. The lines are expected to move slowly as carriers perform credit checks and unlock phones on site in a process that Apple hopes will only take 15 minutes per customer.

Apple this week began posting information for iPhone users intending to update their device to the new iPhone 3G. A new support document explains how to replace an original iPhone with an iPhone 3G using the same carrier: "If you follow these steps to backup your original iPhone first, and then restore the backup to your iPhone 3G, your saved SMS messages, email accounts, photos, notes, and other personal settings will be present on your iPhone 3G," the company noted. The instructions indicate that iPhone users in the US will not need to transfer their SIM card (a new one will be provided with the iPhone 3G) and describes how to transfer settings, personal info, SMS messages, and other data to the new device using iTunes' backup iPhone feature.

The iPhone phenomenon is well and truly in force since the launch of the iPhone 3G in Australia last month. With this in mind, competitors are clamouring for a piece of the pie and are set to begin launching potential 'iPhone killers' in a bid to derail the Apple machine. We’ve been fortunate to have two of the newest iPhone competitors in the office, along with the iPhone 3G. RIM’s BlackBerry Bold and the much anticipated HTC Touch Diamond are two smartphones that are set to compete with the iPhone 3G in Australia and around the globe. Check out our slideshow of these hot smartphones side by side! iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs B

Promises and promises and few more promises, that’s what came from Apple’s stable about iPhone 3G software being unhackable, but iPhone Dev Team has done it again as they released PwnageTool 2.0 for iPhone 3G, 1st Gen iPhone and iPod Touch. Sadly, PwnageTool 2.0 is only able to break all shackles on 1st Generation iPhones and not on iPhone 3G. That means, you won’t be able to unlock your iPhone 3G as of now, though you can unlock your 1st Gen iPhone.

With the iPhone 3G hardware, Apple significantly improved upon last year's original iPhone. It also extended many of the benefits of its newest model to existing users in the form of the iPhone 2.0 software update (which is also available to current iPod touch users for a nominal $10 fee). This segment presents what's new in the 2.0 software, what hasn't changed, what's missing, what's wrong, and how it compares to other smartphone software platforms on the market.

They're still lining up for Apple's iPhone. Bloomberg Boot Camp, a report on today's technology. The demand for the new 3G iPhone...doesn't seem to be letting up. Weeks after it went on sale....the line outside Apple's flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York stretched around the block...with the estimated waiting time for folks on line to purchase at about five hours. The 3G version of the iPhone is much improved over the original...in a number of areas. First in my book....is the improved sound quality of the phone itself. The 3G networks connections...when you aren't in WiFi range....is a big plus. And the new App store....opening up the iPhone to all kinds of new applications...gives it almost unlimited potential. For instance... Sega built one of the top selling apps for sale.

As you may know there was a lot of hype about Apple's release of the iPhone 3G on July 11th, 2008. Many of us are wondering if it is worth the extra $10 per month to upgrade the speed of our phones. Also, is the 3G speed all its cracked up to be? Today we compare the two - will the original prevail over the new, or will the thought of better technology blow our minds? The new iPhone has some obvious differences including the added 3G and GPS hardware, But other than that, they both use the iPhone 2.0 software. So what's the difference?

As described in the previous segment introducing iPhone 2.0 software, Apple's latest mobile operating system reference release delivered a range of major and minor new features, but not without failing to address some long standing issues. Even worse, the initial version of the new iPhone 2.0 has eroded away the facade of near flawlessness Apple rolled out with the original iPhone last year, resulting in a product that is simply harder to be unreservedly enthusiastic about. This segment will compare the features exposed and architecturally available in the iPhone OS, and how it stacks up against other smartphone platforms.

Unless you’ve been living in a power-free treehouse for the last few months or so, you’ve probably heard there’s a new iPhone coming out Friday. While I won’t upgrade to the iPhone 3G immediately, I would like to get one at some point, primarily for the faster data speed—my iPhone is used for data about 95 percent of the time, so 3G would make a notable difference to me. Although I’m excited about the new iPhone 3G, Friday will be a probably be a bittersweet day for me.

To the chagrin of some folks, the iPhone 3G does not ship with a docking station. You need to shell out $29 to get one from Apple. If you've got a dock from an old iPhone, you may be in luck, however. A couple of users have modified their original iPhone's docking stations to fit the new model. They've done so using a rotary tool sporting a tapered grinding bit; best for avoiding the all important connector. The result doesn’t look pretty, but it appears to do the job and is certainly a lot cheaper than shelling out for a new dock.

In less than 10 days since its problem-plagued launch, Apple has sold out of stock of iPhones in all of its stores except three, including every state except New York, California, and New Hampshire. Apple notes that on Monday none of its 137 locations in the US will have stock of the 8GB iPhone and that the only location to have the 16GB black iPhone will be its retail store in Pleasanton, California (Stoneridge Mall). The only other two stores to have stock of the iPhone are the retail locations in Salem, New Hampshire (Rockingham Park) and New York City (Fifth Avenue) -- both of which only have the 16GB white iPhone model.

After unlocking and jailbreaking iPhone OS 2.0, the iPhone Dev Team has now liberated the new iPhone 3G, only five days after launch. This means a Pwnage tool that will allow you to install the unofficial applications that Apple doesn't want you to have in your iPhone—like video recording apps or game emulators—alongside with the App Store ones. The upcoming Pwnage will support the classic iPhone, the iPod touch, and the iPhone 3G. The video shows it works great:

If id Software co-founder Carmack can be believed, iPhone might emerge as a major force in the mobile gaming industry and trounce many rivals. He expressed regret that his company still has not released any games for the iPhone. According to him, iPhone with it’s great graphics and a large screen can support advanced games which other portable devices can’t. He said id Software is already developing two games for iPhone, a normal mobile game and the other, an advanced game that would test iPhone’s graphic abilities. Though graphics may let down iPhone, he feels it is more powerful that Nintendo and PSP combined. Though iPhone may not be the definitive answer to mobile gaming, it sure is a great device, at least for now.

(Review) - We’ll get right to the chase. Apple’s iPhone 3G is very similar to the original iPhone. In fact, first-generation iPhones can be updated to use the iPhone 2.0 software, which will give a lot of the software capabilities of iPhone 3G to its predecessor. However, that doesn’t mean that iPhone 3G isn’t worth the upgrade. If you were holding out on the original iPhone in hopes of iPhone 3G, this is your chance to grab one, assuming can get past the strict requirements of activating the phone in AT&T or Apple Stores. That’s of course to prevent a lot of folks from unlocking their iPhones.

Apple on Monday released iPhone 2.0.2, an update to its second-generation software for the original iPhone and iPhone 3G. The update is about 242MB and first appeared via iTunes just after 5PM EST. As is usually the case with iPhone updates, Apple provided few details, saying simply that the update contains "bug fixes," and links to existing online iPhone support resources. Over the weekend the company seeded iPhone v2.1b4, a private beta, to developers, but removed the much anticipated 'push" feature that would allow applications to respond to internet triggers (new email, an IM, etc.) without being open. The major software update along with the unique "push service" was announced in June 2008 at Apple's WWDC and was expected to launch in September, according to Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

Computerworld — As I write this, my new white 16GB iPhone 3G is in the process of syncing about 10GB of music from my iTunes library. This is my second sync. Although I was one of the lucky ones able to both buy and eventually activate an iPhone 3G on Friday, I at first opted to copy over the same paltry 2GB of music that was stored on my first-generation 4GB iPhone along with my e-mail accounts and a handful of applications from the App Store. Having waited close to four hours in line at a New York AT&T store, close to 20 minutes for the purchase process, and another four-plus hours attempting to activate my iPhone at home via iTunes, I simply couldn't wait for a full sync before putting my iPhone through its paces.
