The Hype is Hugh – iPhone 3G

Linus — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 12:15:06 +0000

So many of you might not be interested in the iPhone at all, we did make a lot of new yesterday from the WWDC 2008 in San Francisco, those of you that don’t know what it is it’s a developers convention for the development of Apple Inc. Mostly about the tech future in the company, OSX and of course the iPhone.

Well a couple of months ago there turned up some pictures online, one of them was this one, showing up the backside of the new iPhone 3G however people turned it down as a thing you could buy in China.
So the Rumors went on and just a couple of days after the first image (the one above) we got another one all over the internet; This time the backside of the iPhone was facing up and you could see it laying on a Macbook Pro, but once again people turned it down as a FAKE photo. Well now that we have the key in our hand we know they where true photos and not fake ones and we also learned how hard it is to get your sources right.
So what can we say about the new iPhone? We can start of buy Whining over the stuff it did not get, (however i don’t care about this at all) The iPhone did not get;

Better Camera

Stereo Bluetooth

Front faced camera for video calls

Cut & Copy Paste

Bigger storage

Picture messaging

Video Recording

So this pictures show of the new iPhone and the similarity to the Photos that have been out and around the web are well identical. So now you know the downsides, the only thing i think we can’t fix because its a hardware issue is the Storage space. The other things on their hand is software stuff, so i think that we will see this things in form form 3rd parties.
The things that are new with the iPhone 3G;

GPS

Slimmer design

Microsoft Exchange support

Push; email, contact, calendar via: MobileMe

Possibility to ad-hoc, close system

3rd part development applications

App Store

Affordable prices, from $199 (or €130)

The new iPhone 2.0 OSX with tons of new features

So form my standpoint this is THE phone on the market, the things i mentioned before about the Copy & Past, no MMS, those are software issues, witch any good programmer out there can fix, and well lets face it how much storage does your mobile phone have?! mine has 2GB… So 16GB do it for me. The price is just unbelievable from a high $399 to just 199$ i wanna see what Nokia will do with their N96 now, its bigger, clumsier, more expensive, not the same storage space, no touch screen, no OSX.

The other strong things with the new iPhone 3G is the possibiltie you have to play games, like the Super Monkey Ball; You can also watch this video from YouTube where Sega demonstrated the game in realtime.

So the verdict with the new Apple iPhone 3G… Yes i crave it and yes I’m gonna get it, and yes its the best phone ever made by man.

To close this chapter we want to end with a small Poll, so please answer the following question;

MacFusion – Rumor

Linus — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 14:43:19 +0000

So here we are at THE DAY when apple are having their biggest press release in a long time, right now the stock has fallen $ 1,79… however the day is far from over, in a little over just 2 hours the big event will take place, the WWDC 2008.

This is the rumor though that there will be a MacFusion, a smaller version of the MacMini, directed towards the developer section, with abilities such as running Vista, or Linux via boot-camp.
What do you think? Is this the next generation MacMini/AppleTV take 3

Well back from a minor holiday, as you might have explored, from the fact that i haven’t updated in a while. So here we are the historical 9th of June 08. What will we see today, a new iPhone? updated Macbook’s? well lets just say for a fact that steve will say Booom! one more time and we might be seeing the next version of the iPhone and it might be so good that nothing will stand in its way for the upcoming year or two.

We have been showing you photos, and leaks, we have been giving you loads of info on the iPhone, but we are not in SF and we can not liveblog from there so what we will do is give you a set of links the people that do liveblog and probably do it a hell lot better then we do.
