Apple released a new iPhone 3GS recently and although I have bought every new iPhone on the release date, this time around they didn’t allow for me to get the updated pricing until 12/12/09.
The newest iPhone adds a few features that the older 3G doesn’t have.
Few of the new features include video recording, voice control, better 3MP camera with tap to focus, built in compass, and a faster processor.
Since I didn’t upgrade and have had my current iPhone for over 1 year, I decided to Jailbreak my 3.0 firmware using RedSnow.
After Jailbreaking my iPhone I now have Video recording and a few features that I really like.  For example I can now tell if I have received mail without unlocking the phone.  Also I was able to add five icons to the bottom dock.  Stuff like that really makes using the phone much better in my opinion.
I have yet to decide if I want to get the 3GS when December 12th rolls around since they probably will release another version next summer.
Apple promised MMS with 3.0 firmware update, but they haven’t rolled it out and now they announced it will be ready September 25th.  2 years late, but better late than never.

Apple just released the new iPhone 2.2 Firmware.
Some of the new features include:

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.

Apple had a Let’s Rock event this week and announced some new products and iTunes 8.
iTunes 8 mainly added a Genius feature which is a revamp of the mini store.  Whats interesting is it can create playlists on the fly by selecting a song and choosing Genius playlist.  It will pull songs from your library that go with that one particular song.  It’s a pretty cool feature for making mixes.

These are the new nanos and the colors they come in.  Very bright colors that can stop traffic in case you are listening to your iPod too loud and stumble into oncoming traffic.
They include a accelerometer like the iPhone and iPod Touch and have games based off it also.
It has a new shake to shuffle feature which is sure to make a few Nanos fly across the living room.

The new iPod Touch with 2.1.1 software.  I have held and tested one of these and it is really thin now.  It has a built in speaker and volume control buttons now.  Something that the first one really should of included.  The speaker isn’t as loud and clear as the iPhone 3G’s but still good enough to hear what’s going on in a general enviroment.
What is also interesting is they include a built in Nike+ sensor that works with a Nike+ shoe insert that can track your running workout.

The new iPhone 2.1 Software Update.  Update includes:

With the release of the app store in iTunes I have been trying out so many different apps.
Here I’m testing the wordpress app to write this post.
Should make it easier to blog when I’m not by a computer.
Very cool.
You can find the app at the iTunes store along with many other useful and unuseful apps.

At WWDC 08 Steve Jobs annouced the new iPhone 3G.
What sells me on it, is the GPS functionality.
Much like CarPC apps, you can make location based internet apps that will be really cool.
The iPhone 3G will go on sale in 70 countries by 2009.
It will be released in the U.S. and a few other countries on July 11th 2008 and will go for $199 for a 8GB version and $299 for a 16GB version.
No word on a 32GB version, but I assume that will be released later on with a price drop possibly.
