AT&T offers free WiFi access to iPhones at hotspots and Starbucks

I got a SMS text and a email today telling me that AT&T is now offering free WiFi for iPhone customers.
If somehow my computer could use the WiFi I think that would be more valuable to me.  My iPhone has a 3G connection most of the places I go and that is pretty quick enough for me.  I’m not doing any internet intensive tasks on my iPhone that would really make a difference being on a WiFi network.
So what main benefits do we iPhone 3G customers get from this?  If you area has only Edge, then it might be cool, but I really could care less about a WiFi connection for my iPhone at a hotspot.

What do you think of the new MacBook’s and MacBook Pro’s?

So now that the new MacBook’s and MacBook Pro’s have been out for a while.  What do you think of them?
I myself have setup a MacBook for a client and the design is really nice in my opinion.  The lack of firewire on the MacBook’s doesn’t seem to bother me since I don’t use a firewire camcorder.  I know for some people that might be a issue, but they can always upgrade to another video camera if they really want.
I do think that the prices could be slightly more competitive but Macs have always been slightly more expensive than there PC counterparts when you look at the tech specs.
What’s nice about the new books is that they use a faster front side bus and ram speed.  1066mhz DDR3 is faster than my Quad Core gaming PC.
Also some people complained about the glass screens being non matte, but I think they will offer matte screen protector add-ons shortly if they haven’t already.
So what do you think about the new MacBook’s and MacBook Pro’s?
