How to convert DVD movie to iPhone 3GS

This is for all those new iPhone 3GS owners still in fix and searching for ways to watch videos on the new gadget. Today I’ll let you know how to watch DVD movies and videos from other sources on your iPhone 3GS.

To begin with you need to know the formats the new iPhone 3GS can play.

The Video Formats Supported by iPhone 3GS Include

H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

The Audio Formats Supported by iPhone 3GS Include

AAC, Protected AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV

Now to watch the DVD movies and videos what you need to do is simply rip the DVD movies or convert the video files into a video/audio format supported by iPhone 3GS. After you have the files in a compatible format upload them into your iPhone 3GS through the sync of iTunes Library.

To convert the video files you need to download the Clone2Go DVD to iPhone 3GS Converter.

So are you all set? Let’s start the process now.

Step 1

First open the DVD to iPhone 3GS converter.

Add DVD video or audio files.

If the DVD movie you need to convert is on your disc drive, click on the DVD button.

In case you have saved it in a hard drive, click the Add video button and locate the folder.

Locate the path of the folders VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. the .vob files appear. Select the .vob files and click OK.

By clicking on the Add video button you can also import video from various other sources.

Real Media Player(*.flv)
Flash Video Player(*.mkv)
MKV Video Player(*.avs)
AviSYnth Scripts(*.mpg,*.vob,*.dv,*.m1v,*.m2v,*.dat,*.amv)

Once the DVD or video has been been imported you can watch it on the main interface.

Here’s your chance to pick the DVD or video you wish to play on your iPhone 3GS. Select the portion you want to play. Drag from the Start to trim and Stop to trim button to select the segment.

Step 2

To choose the proper profile look for the drop-down list of Profile option on the right. Choose the profile that suits you best. Like for instance if you want to play the video in MPEG-4 choose the iPhone MPEG-4 Video from the list of profiles.

Step 3

Click on the Start Encode button to start converting videos or ripping DVD’s for iPhone 3GS.

Step 4

After the ripping or conversion is complete, go to the Folder button on the main menu to get the converted video/audio files.

The H2O Audio Amphibx – Waterproofs your iPhone

iPhone Accessories

It features a latch style locking enclosure which provides 100% waterproofing for your iPhone, and you can wear it up to 12 feet underwater.

The Amphibx features a touch screen friendly screen on the case so you could even control your iPhone under water, there is also a sealed connector for your headphones, and the device will even float on top of the water with your gadget inside.

Apple toughens iPhone screen, boosts battery life

Apple has upped its claim for the iPhone’s battery life, now saying the touchscreen smart phone will offer an eight-hour talk time. It’s also decided to ship the machine with a glass front in a bid to beat the scratches spotted by so many early iPod Nano buyers.

Both changes undoubtedly come from real-world testing and the development work that’s gone into the iPhone hardware since Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the handset in January. Comments allegedly made by folk who’d had their hands on the iPhone earlier this year highlighted issues with both battery life and screen resilience, and Apple’s statement today certainly lends verisimilitude to those claims.

So what’s changed? Apple originally had the iPhone’s single-charge longevity down as five hours’ talk time, video playback time and web browsing time, and 16 hours’ music playback. Today’s revised figures up those number by up to 60 per cent: eight hours’ talk time, six hours’ browsing time, seven hours’ video playback and 24 hours’ music listening.

It’s all highly theoretical, of course, as were Apple’s original numbers. We’re sure, under lab conditions, with the screen dimmed right down, the iPhone can deliver those new figures, but if the handset actually delivers them in the real world, it’ll be the first smart phone that ever did match the promised spec.

As Apple admits: “All Battery claims are dependent upon network configuration and many other factors; actual results may vary.”

Apple now has a better idea how many iPhones it’s going to sell, and punching that into the company’s humungous iPhone Excel spreadsheet reveals it can afford to fit a pricier, “optical-quality glass” panel on the front and either a bigger or a more advanced battery without too many negative effects.

Or it’s simply decided it can’t risk the reputation of a $600 handset on such factors and is taking the hit.

iPhone 3gs overheat

The iPhone 3G S could be turning out to be a hot item in more ways than one.

It was first reported on Nowhereelse ( a French website) via Engadget, by a user of a 16GB white iPhone 3GS who noticed that their iPhone got very hot while using the GPS and 3G of the phone. The only damage appeared to be that the back of the iPhone had a pink discoloration.

Then two PC World journalists had similar problems. Melissa J. Perenson from PC World reported in “Apple iPhone 3GS Overheating Reports” that her 16GB iPhone 3GS become very hot during use while being plugged in. David Coursey wrote of his problem in “Fahrenheit 113: Hot iPhone’s Tragic Number“.

Must Have iPhone Accessories

After much trial and error I think I have found all the essential  iPhone hardware accessories to fully optimize your iPhone experience. Hope you find the information helpful.

AUXILIARY CORD: a must have for any iPhone user.  Having a auxiliary cord will allow you to hook your iPhone to you car, stereo, or other external speaker device.  I hook mine to my car and use it as a speaker phone…works great!

1. AUXILIARY CORD: a must have for any iPhone user.  Having a auxiliary cord will allow you to hook your iPhone to you car, stereo, or other external speaker device.  I hook mine to my car and use it as a speaker phone…works great! 
2. Head Phone Extender/MIC: this handy tool I found on eBay for $10.  Place this device in your iPhone and you will be able to toss the horrible Apple headphones out the window.  With the built in mic and push-button you will be able to skip songs, pause music, and answer calls all without getting your phone out of your pocket.  I have a secret service style ear tube that I connect to it when I ride my bike; pretty slick.  I can also attach the Bose headphones when I want to hear some good quailty sound and still retain my ability to take calls.  
3. A Hard Case: I have tried many cases and finally came to the DLP hard plastic case. I picked mine up at BestBuy but you can also get them here. It is a really nice hard case that comes with lots of plastic sticky grips on the back of the case to help prevent sliding.  The case also comes with a screen protector and even protects the ear piece and home button.  I have dropped the phone several times and it withstands the trauma like a champ.  The only issue with the case is the sleep/wake button is so well protected that is a bit hard to push but all in all this is the best case I have had.    

I am sure there are other accessories out there but these three simple items have made owning an iPhone that much better!

A Game Changing iPhone Accessory

There is not much preventing me from making an iPhone my next phone. I might wait till the next version, but I am pretty sure I have come to the conclusion, that its hype was and is justified. However, there is still one thing holding me back. Too many of my friends have had their iPhones run out of battery after less than one day of use, and that to me, is unacceptable.

iphone accessories : power pack

Now, I know myself, and I am a heavy user if there ever was one. So, I now have a dilemma. Do I get the iPhone and enjoy a superior experience or do I get another phone and enjoy a longer lasting experience? Kinda like quality vs. quantity. Well, lucky for me, this dilemma might have just been resolved for me, without having to make compromises on either factor.

A new battery pack accessory released by a company named Mophie adds significant juice to the iPhone’s battery, while in no way destroying its simple and beautiful design. We have seen many battery packs for the iPhone in the past, but I at no point considered any of them. I figured if I wanted a fat ugly device that does not fit in my pocket comfortably, I might as well get an N95 (ouch, take that Nokia.)

Well this new accessory adds 4.5 hours to the iPhone’s life cycle and might even make the phone nicer, if that is possible. It is called the Juice Pack Air and it comes with a power switch so you can turn it off and save it for when you really need it. Here are the specs as reported by the manufacturer:

The iphone accessories battery is 1200 mAh and virtually doubles your power in the following ways:

Additional Hours:
Standby Time: Up to 270 hours
Talk Time:
Up to 4.5 hours (3G)
Up to 9 hours (2G)
Internet Use:
Up to 4.5 hours (3G)
Up to 5.4 Hours (Wi-Fi)
Audio Playback: Up to 20 hours
Video Playback: Up to 6 hours

This new accessory might be the one to push me over the edge and actually go pick myself up a spanking new iPhone. The only problem I have with it is that it is only available in the Spring, which means they better be working on their next generation already, since we all know by now that the next iPhone will be announced in June.

Apple is still releasing an iPhone Bluetooth headset

The Bluetooth headset jobs introduced at Macworld Expo is now listed on the company’s website as supporting Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR. According to the image below, the iPhone Bluetooth headset is “remarkably compact” and should release along side of several iPhone accessories when the iPhone becomes available in June.

Fashion iPhone Accessories

With the arrival of a new iPhone comes the arrival of new accessories, natch.

Gilty Couture makes gold, silver, chromium, and stainless steel collections of  iPhone accessories to make your Jebus phone that much hauter.

The makeovers are inspired by the classic flare of gilded products of yore and will make you want to lick your iphone.

Some models incorporate the use of hand set Swarovski crystals for the ultimate iPhone accessory. All the Gilty pieces arrive in a signature wardrobe box with micropolist storage and cleaning pouch.

But this deliciousness don’t come cheap. Prices range from $129.99 to $249.99. And for those without the iPhone you can still feel ‘Gilty’ by getting your iPod tricked out.

Our good friends at iWorldAustralia wants the world to know that they now distribute the super-stylish iLuv range of iPhone accessories. If you think that your iPhone feels a bit naked and could do with some serious pimpin’, this competition will certainly help.

Here’s what is up for grabs:

Apple iPhone Games

Apple iPhone Games

Sudoku, Match Three and Collapsing Blocks are the first three games to be released for the Apple iPhone from MacMost. The mobile iPhone games can be played for free by Apple iPhone users by simply using their iPhone to browse to the MacMost website. MacMost is a Apple enthusiast site with news, tutorials and a weekly video podcast. It is produced by CleverMedia, an Internet content company that has created more than 300 Web-based games since 1995. Gary Rosenzweig, founder of CleverMedia and executive producer of MacMost, created the games in anticipation of the Apple iPhone launch, without being able to test the games until the Apple iPhone was released on June 29.

Mobile Games for Apple iPhone

“I was able to draw on our library of game code and create the games using my best guesses about the Apple iPhone’s capabilities,” said Rosenzweig. “Then I waited in line all day on Friday so I could be one of the first to get one and to test the games.” While the Apple iPhone does not include any game applications at launch, it does allow for third-party developers to make games using the Safari Web browser built into the phone. The Match Three game challenges players to swap objects to line up three matching pieces in a row. It is the same basic concept as most popular casual games. MacMost’s game uses apples as playing pieces. The Collapsing Blocks game is another classic casual game type, adapted for the Apple iPhone’s screen.

 

Apple iPhone Games – Sudoku

The Sudoku game uses the iPhone’s touch screen to allow the player to enter numbers on a standard Sudoku board. It features a nearly unlimited supply of puzzle boards, with three levels of difficulty. Rosenzweig said he is planning more games. He intends to keep the games free. “We’re working on some card games and other puzzle games,” said Rosenzweig. We hope to be updating the game site almost every day in the coming weeks. “Like the games at our main game site, Game Scene, these will be free and we’ll eventually support them with advertising.” The games can be played by going to the MacMost website and clicking on the “Apple iPhone Games” link at the top of the page.

 iphone accesories,  cases,  skin, DC, and others.

Apple has not only announced the iPhone itself, but they will also be releasing Apple iPhone accessories including a Bluetooth headset and wired headset. The new iPhone Bluetooth headset will work with other mobile phones in addition to the iPhone. It is expected the Apple will release additional iPhone accessories, but no word on whether they will be available at launch.

 

Similar to any other technological devices, it can not be disclaimed that iPhone accessories have important role in making the gadget popular. From software to hardware, mp3 players, computers, cell phones and video games are enhanced with the help of outside additions. This is also applied equally to iPhone. iPhone accessories are involved in determining the success of the gadget sales although they are just additional piece.

The plentiful iPhone accessories available have allowed it easier to apply, more fun to play with the most adjustable of any electronic gadget available today. The iPhone has the prospect for useless of longevity, and much of this is on account of its accessories, both those launched by Apple and those grown by third-party companies.

For a lot of companies, success hinges on partnerships with larger, more widely-known companies. The business of accessories is a profitable business if done successfully; companies like Bluetooth hinge on the products their technology helps. A lot of these companies do not offer stand-alone products. For the iPhone, these accessories keep both current customers happy and help attract other customers who may have needed one more factor to raise their purchasing power.

Current iPhone accessories available on the market include Bluetooth headsets, allowing for users to enjoy hands-free calling power. The headset is wireless, and like most Bluetooth products available for other cell phones, it offers over five hours of use due to a built-in lithium battery. It comes with a specialized Dual Dock system that charges both the headset and the iPhone simultaneously.

Some of the most popular iPhone accessories as well as accessories of Apples’s common products are charging products. The iPhone can be charged with the Apple USB Power Adapter if a computer is not available; this AC adapter plugs into the USB cable that comes with iPhone.

The Apple Dock Connect to USB Cable can charge an iPhone with the use of a computer or a wall plug, and also allows for efficient syncing. Other adapters and iPhone accessories aid to make the iPhone work with older iPod-based docks and charging systems, helping consumers who already own Apple products not have to purchase identical hardware.

iPhone accessories are offered by Apple but there are many similar products that are promoted by third-party companies. Many of these other companies offer high-quality devices with low-priced costs while some consumers like better to stick at authorized products. A few of their hardware and software released have yet to be adopted by Apple actually. With a good as popular as the iPhone, new iPhone accessories will keep on to be released every day.

Apple’s Official Accessories

In addition to third party products, Apple will be releasing some iPhone accessories itself. Here are two such products that it announced at the iPhone keynote.

Official iPhone Bluetooth Headset

 

This is Apple’s in-ear iPhone Bluetooth headset. It is a small and sleek mono earbud that you can use to make hands-free calls with your iPhone. This headset will reportedly work with other cell phones as well.

 

Official iPhone Headphones

Recognize these? Yes, Apple’s iPhone headphones look just like the standard earbuds that come with the newest generation of iPods. These particular earbuds, however, have one significant difference: The circled area in this photo highlights a microphone which allows these headphones to be used not only for listening to music, but for making calls as well.

 

Third-party iPhone Accessories

Incipio’s Leather Case

A company called Incipio shocked the world by releasing for sale perhaps the world’s first iPhone accessory almost half a year before the announced release of the iPhone. This black leather case, available for sale on Amazon, may or may not be a repurposed Palm Pilot case, and from the “artist rendering” label on the photograph, it looks as if Incipio’s designers have never even put an iPhone inside of it.

As more iPhone accessories are announced, they will be featured here, so check back for the latest!

Rumor: Nintendo and Apple partner to offer iPhone games

Nintendo iPhone Games

Apple and Nintendo are rumored to be working together to offer exclusive games that will be released through the iTunes store for $29.00 each that should be available just a few months after the launch of the iPhone. Due to the lack of controls on the iPhone the games will be controlled by a touchscreen D-pad. According to the report Nintendo does not think that these games will hurt any of the current game markets they are in because the iPhone games will cater to an older audience.

This is one rumor that I will just have to see to believe. $29.00 seems way to expensive for a game that is played on a mobile phone and due to the lack of real controller I cannot imagine the game play being as good. While this all sounds somewhat believable, I am not going to hold my breath.

Gameloft bringing 15 games to the iPhone, starting June

Gameloft iPhone games

Gameloft plans to expand its mobile gaming service to iPhone owners when Apple’s App Store launches this June. Gameloft puts out a lot of simple arcade puzzle game clones, but is also responsible for some pretty well-received ports of big titles, such as Prince of Persia. Since the iPhone’s touchscreen and accelerometer combo are unlike any other handheld out there, it’ll be interesting to see the shape Gameloft’s 15 titles take.

iPhone games drive Apple App Store

id iphone games

Games are the fastest-growing and most popular type of application for iPhone. As of Friday evening, 7 of the 10 bestselling apps were games. According to Stan Ng, Apple’s senior director of product marketing, “This was an amazing surprise to us to see how much games have taken off.”

This is great news considering when QuicklyBored first started, mobile gaming was at an incredible low. In fact, we changed the format of the site and relaunched because mobile games were such a drag.

Since the App Store has launched, developers have created around 1,700 games. Former EA executive Neil Young describtes why companies such as his newly formed iPhone/iPod gaming company love the platform so much.

“I found that my iPhone was never very far away from me,” Young said. “I was constantly checking e-mail, downloading apps, playing games, browsing the Internet. My personal usage was measurably different from any phone or game machine I’ve ever had before. It led me to think that there was a dramatically new market opportunity for gaming on a unique mobile device.”

3 iPhone games to expect, 6 to dream about — a look at the iPhone’s video game horizons

iphone games to expect

With the unveiling of the iPhone’s software development kit, it turns out the iPhone may be a serious handheld contender in the mobile gaming market on top of being a smart phone killer.

We’re not just talking Pong and Tetris, either — gen-u-wine games rendered in the glorious third dimension. All the iPhone is missing is buttons, but those could be replicated in a virtual fashion just like the unit’s keypad. It’s touchscreen and accelerometer couple tilting and tapping together, which is a surprisingly effective way to control a game with a little creativity on the developer’s part.

Just how effective? That’s what we got to wondering. Click Continue to find out.

1. Spore — coming to the iPhone

Overview: Spore is a world-building strategy game being developed by Will Wright and Maxis (the folks behind the SimCity line of games), and will be published by Electronic Arts. In Spore, you design a civilization from its most humble beginnings on a cellular level, all the way to its inevitable wars with other planets. It’s one of the most hotly anticipated titles this year, and has been confirmed for the PC, Mac, Wii, DS and now the iPhone, for which it’s due in September.

 

On the iPhone: Where a player would normally use a mouse and keyboard or a directional pad on a controller, now he only needs to tilt the iPhone to control what he is viewing, and touch the screen to interact with the world.

 

 

2. Super Monkey Ball — coming to the iPhone

Overview: Sega’s Super Monkey Ball compiles a variety of party games featuring cutesy monkey characters inside American Gladiator-style rolling balls. Players go head-to-head in hang gliding competitions, race on obstacle courses and battle it out in a variety of other minigames.

 

On the iPhone: Super Monkey Ball has already taken advantage of the Wii’s motion-sensing controller, and should feel right at home with the iPhone’s accelerometer, allowing players full control with just a tilt of the unit — tilt it, and watch your monkey run in the direction you’re slanting.

 

 

3. Touch Fighter — coming to the iPhone

Overview: Reminiscent of arcade-style space sims such as Star Fox 64, Touch Fighter has players blasting through the stars in a throwback to the glory of space combat. Just like with Spore and Super Monkey Ball, the developers had only two weeks to work with the software development kit and get their game onto the iPhone, though Touch Fighter is a fresh idea from the ground up.

 

On the iPhone: Players tilt the iPhone to steer their spacecraft and touch the screen to fire — so simple and effective it looks like you can effortlessly guide your Touch Fighter with just one hand.

 

 

4. Advance Wars: Days of Ruin

Genre: Turn-based strategy

 

Platform: DS

 

Overview: The Advance Wars series of games are simple yet engrossing, with cartoonish armies waging strategically-deep wars. Also take into account the sprite-based graphics that aren’t taxing to pull off and it ends up representing a style of video game that would be easily ported to the iPhone.

 

How it’d work: No big tricks here — Advance Wars can be played on its native DS simply by using the unit’s touchscreen, which the iPhone already has, and the iPhone’s tilt could allow the player to explore each game map. The iPhone is also tall enough that it’d probably be able to fit both of the DS’s screens stacked vertically.

 

 

5. Switchball

Genre: Puzzle

 

Platform: PC, Xbox 360

 

Overview: Ever play Marble Madness for the NES? Switchball is reviving the classic title’s crazy maps rife with traps and obstacles to stop you from getting your marble to the end of the maze.

 

How it’d work: Like Super Monkey Ball, tilting the iPhone would, in essence, control the direction of your ball, either by leading it one way or by tilting the entire game world, causing the marble to list in one direction or another as you guide it toward your goal.

 

 

6. Space Siege

Genre: Role-playing

 

Platform: PC

 

Overview: Space Siege, a successor of sorts to Gas Powered Games fantasy series, Dungeon Siege, pits players against all manner of alien monstrosity as they have to choose between sacrificing their own humanity with cybernetic upgrades to more easily save their crewmates, or keeping their body intact while facing a tougher fight.

 

How it’d work: Graphics may be a larger obstacle than control here. It’d be easy enough to move your character around and navigate menus on a touchscreen, which would replace clicking — think Diablo. Better yet, tilting the iPhone could control the character’s direction, and tapping could attack.

 

 

7. Supreme Commander

Genre: Real-time strategy

 

Platform: PC, Xbox 360

 

Overview: When Gas Powered Games unleashed Supreme Commander on the PC, it caused many-a-gamer to go out and buy a new rig just to run it. The iPhone wouldn’t be able to handle it, but the strategy game has since been confirmed for a hop over to the Xbox 360, showing the company is willing to scale it down. The game features enormous battles on even bigger battlefields between four different factions.

 

How it’d work: Supreme Commander might not seem a logical choice given its demanding graphics, but the game designers also thought it important to streamline the interface as much as possible and make control easier for the player. This would allow commanding your army as simple as tapping to select units or navigate menus, tilting to pan across the map, and maybe even using the pinch to zoom in and out.

 

 

8. Gran Turismo 5

Genre: Racing

 

Platform: Playstation 3

 

Overview: The Gran Turismo series is the king of racing games for fans of real-world racing. It doesn’t allow players to crash, which can kill a bit of the realism, but the cars are all licensed virtual duplicates of their out-of-game counterparts and handle as they would if you were really driving them. The Gran Turismo games also maintain a high visual quality, which would need to be scaled down for the iPhone.

 

How it’d work: Well, driving a car in automatic would be easier enough: tilt forward and backward to accelerate and brake, and steer by dipping the iPhone to the side. But who would want to drive those beefy race cars in automatic? Virtual controls on-screen may work, but could be intrusive. What if the player could flick the iPhone forward to register a change in shifting gears? Away from them shifts up; toward them shifts down. The degree of tilt could also act as a throttle.

 

 

9. Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

Genre: Action

 

Platform: PSP

 

Overview: If any designer could pull off the impossible, it’d be Hideo Kojima of Konami. He has taken his Metal Gear Solid series onto nearly every platform, finding clever ways to implement a console’s control features into his games — from using vibration to simulate telekinesis in the battle against Psycho Mantis to using the Playstation 3′s motion sensing in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 5. A full-on action game on the iPhone would be a feat to be sure, but Konami managed to bring a solid version of the game to the PSP, known as Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, that wowed players with how far it could push action on a handheld.

 

How it’d work: The series has always been known for its intricate and complex control schemes, so boiling all the different actions you can perform, from combat to maneuvering to hiding, seems downright impossible. However, with the tilt to guide the hero of the series, Snake, through to his objective, the player may be able to do most of what they need simply by moving the iPhone. Pressing up against walls, running, hand-to-hand combat — all of this could be taken care of by the angle and degree the player tilts the unit with the aid of context-sensitive cues, while the touchscreen could be freed up for shooting enemies and navigating menus.

1. iPhone Projector

The QingBar MP101, from Honlai Technology, Inc. , is a projector for your iPhone. Plug your iPhone into the top-loading port and watch screen-display at a whopping 37 inches at 640:480 resolution. The QingBar MP101 will also charge your iPhone, and includes embedded stero speakers.

2. iPhone Decals

So maybe you want to customize the look of your new hardware, but can’t afford or don’t want to go the ColorWare route. Totally understandable.

But if that’s the case, you should try out some of the super-colorful, extra-glossy, hi-resolution skins from DecalGirl. You can find 1st generation stickies HERE, and 3G variations HERE. It’s hard to go wrong at 7 bucks a pop, and don’t forget to add Screen Armor protectors (in glossy or matte) to round-out the customization.

3. iPhone Camera Telescope

Sure, the iPhone’s onboard camera has been widely criticized for being. . . well. . . pretty poor quality. But now with a sweet mini-telescope attachment from ThinkGeek you can look like a professional voyeur! Your newly tricked out iPhone will have 6x zoom, manual focus, 6 x 18 lens, and a 9 degree field of view — all for under twenty dollars (though the picture quality leaves much to be desired — see below).

Sorry snazzy 3G users, the iPhone Camera Telescope only works on 1st gen models.

4. iPhone Stylus

You might have caught our report on this little gizmo earlier this week (full article HERE). If you haven’t, first off, shame on you. Second, here’s a brief run-down to get you up to speed:

Reproduces “capacitive touch” technology to emulate the electron flow of human skin.

Stylus has a spring-loaded tip for touching, tapping and dragging.

The back portion of the stylus has a hidden SIM eject tool.

Available in black or silver for $14.99 from ThinkGeek.

5. iPhone Alarm Clock

SDI Technologies’ rendition of the alarm clock, done-up the iPhone way, amounts to a complete series of options. From the iP14 with remote control (L-shaped) to the iP51 2.1 Micro System with Sub, they’ve got all your wake up needs covered in style.

Pricing ranges from $99.99 – $199.99.

iPhone Bluetooth Sports Helmet – iPhone Accessories

iPhone Bluetooth Sports Helmet – iPhone Accessories

If you are into extreme sports I bet you can’t wait to grab your snowboard and head to the nearest snowy slope. And if you are into music also, you might aswell pack your iPhone too, because now you can enjoy your favorite tunes in style using this Bluetooth Sports Helmet for the iPhone.

This cool looking helmet has built in headphones that receive signal whireless from a Bluetooth transmiter that plugs into your iPhone headphones jack. The transmiter can also be used with iPods and all MP3 players that use a standard 3.5 mm jack.

The fact that it doesn’t use a headphone cable is probably the main feature of this helmet, since it really improves the freedom of movement needed in extreme sports.

The transmiter cannot control the phone functions of the iPhone, but I think that’s an advantage, considering that a phone conversation with your angry girlfriend is not the best ideea when you’re speeding down the side of the mountain.

On the security side of this helmet you must know that its upper shell is made of injection-molded ABS and the lower shell is made of a polycarbonate with an EPS foam liner. Includes 16 airflow vents, removable ear pads, vent plugs, easy-to-adjust straps, and a goggle-securing lock.

Also as a security note please be aware that music can be sometimes distracting, so you better turn it off on the dificult parts of the slope.

The helmet is available in 3 sizes: Small (fits heads 20″-21″ around); Medium (up to 23″); or Large (up to 25″), at a price of $299.95. If you don’t have goggles, you can grab a matching pair at the price of $139.95.

This can be a great Christmas present for an iPhone fan that is into extreme sports.

iPhone Accessories – The Pogo iPhone Stylus

iphone accessories : pogo iphone stylus

In case you haven’t noticed the iPhone’s glassy touch sensitive screen is only sensitive to your stubby little fingers. This is because it uses a technology called capacitive touch which measures the flow of electrons through your skin. Problem is, last time we checked our fingers were pretty rounded and not too precise at picking out tiny URLs in Safari.

Luckily the geniuses behind the Pogo iPhone Stylus have magically solved this problem by making a stylus that somehow tricks the iPhone into thinking it’s really a finger. What’s more, the tip of the stylus is a soft felt like material that has the added benefit of keeping your screen clean while you tap away. How do they do it? Frankly we’re not sure, but hopefully it doesn’t involve grave-robbing.

Which iPod Accessories Work With iPhone?

iphone accessories

Don’t want to buy another set of headphones, boombox, and remote for your new iPhone? Engadget is doing a useful roundup of all the iPod accessories that work (or don’t) with the iPhone. So far, we already know that regular headphones don’t work due to the recessed headphone port on the iPhone. Other interesting finds include:

• The iPod radio remote does not work (so much for using your own headphones this way)
• Firewire to USB cables work for charging (not data)
• Most standard chargers work
• Most boombox docks seem to work
• Video out doesn’t seem to be working for the most part

Keep checking, and add your own experience. Keep in mind a lot of these things could probably be fixed by a simple firmware update from Apple.

New iPhone (3GS) comes with a bevy of features

Like clockwork, Apple has gone and upgraded the iPhone, and the newest model, labeled the 3GS, has a slew of new features. The main upgrade is a new operating system that will allow for new applications that would not be possible on the current model of iPhones.

Another addition to the iPhone is the ability to record video. For the everyday person, this could be handy for capturing funny moments and possibly uploading them to the internet. However, for the more tech savvy, this could lead to some pretty cool stuff like editing, especially with the possibility of applications that allow for such technical dexterity. 

However, the feature that is being touted as the biggest deal with the 3GS is the ability to make purchases directly through an application. Previously, iPhone users were directed to web sites to purchase their items, which was a slow and clunky way of navigation, but this new feature will streamline the process. 

What do the early adaptors think? I’m sure most won’t care (or at least, they will say they don’t care), but there are sure to be some angry consumers who feel gypped at the idea that their expensive toy isn’t the latest and greatest, nor was it even the cheapest. Well, actually, it is the cheapest, cost aside.

Apple announces iPhone 3GS, the fastest, most capable phone/music player combo yet

Just as was hinted at by Apple’s Online Store being “offline”, (similar to the events unfolding just before the 3G’s debut), Apple announced their newest innovation this past Monday at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, CA.  The computer giant will release their latest iPhone model later this month.  Named the 3GS (according to Apple, the “S” is for “Speed”), the new phone is touted as being the fastest iPhone yet, able to launch web pages and a new set of applications at a staggering rate, not to mention an improved battery life over the, now obsolete, 3G. 

Among its strong points is the phone’s camera that boasts a 3MP resolution, auto-white balancing and even an auto-focus feature.  Always looking to push the envelope, the 3GS’ camera is the first of its kind to operate like a mini-DSLR.  Included in the deal is a video-recording feature . . . that’s right . . . no more need to jailbreak your iPhone for “psycorder”, it’s all legal now, my friend.

But in getting down to the nitty-gritty, the phone’s battery is supposed to outlast any previous iPhone’s “in-use” life and be able to play up to 30 continuous hours of music or 10 hours of video.  That’s quite a bit of life for a phone with such an improved processor and so much speed.  Along with constant updates to the iPhone firmware, Apple promised to unveil a new directory feature with which to navigate through music on the phone.  Cover flow, genius, vertical listings, and one other, very top-secret and “manageable” solution to clicking through your music while on the move.

The iphone 3gs will be available for $199 for the 16GB version, and $299 for the 32GB and launches on June 19.  Get ready for lines around the block at your local Apple Store . . . 

Sport Grip iPhone Case

As usual in our iPhone Accessories section we will present another interesting iPhone case, this time from Marware. As the other iPhone case from this manufacturer that we presented in a recent article, the Sport Grip Backwinder also has a innovative cord management system, this time located on the back of the case.

The case itself is made of slip-free silicone and the backwinder system is made of rubberized rigid plastic, with another patented Marware innovation, the 360º rotating clip, that can be used both as a belt clip and a tabletop stand for watching videos. As you can see in the picture above, the cable management system keeps the iPhone headphones safely winded in the back of the phone.

As you might already know from the reviews on other cases, the downside of most silicone cases is that in time they tend to losen a bit, allowing for dust to enter between the case and the phone, but we are sure Marware used high quality materials that can overcome this problem.

The case design provides easy access to all iphone features, display, connector, headphones, camera and microphone. It comes packed with a microfiber cleaning cloth. More details you can see on manufacturer’s site: Marware.com

Diamond iPhone Case

I know what you think when you look at tis picture: Great Photoshop work! I thought the same, especially it’s similar to the signature leather case, but, guess what, this case is real and it is for sale on Case-mate’s website. Of course for a round $20.000 price tag. That’s right twenty thousand US dollars for a case designed for a $399 device.

This glamour case is made of Carbon Fiber leather, similar to the one used in TechArt Porsche Carrera GT or luxury Vertu cell phones. Only this one is not black, is a specially developed gold one.

So, ok, it’s made of gold leather, but why it’s priced more than 10 times than the gold iPhone from Goldstriker? Well, as you can see in the picture (which is real, we swear), this case is made of more than gold leather, it’s fitted with 42 diamonds with a 3.5 carat weight and 18k gold settings. Even the Case-mate logo is made of 18k gold.

You can see for yourself and order one if you can afford it at Case-mate’s wesite.

Being that these blinged out accessories are coming from i-Luv, we’re confident that they’ll be of a higher quality.

Belkin iphone accessories

After the launch of Apple iPhone, Belkin has launched a bunch of iPhone accessories on Monday. The list of accessories includes Slim-Fit Case, Acrylic Case, Sport, Mini-Stereo Cable, Stereo Cable and Headphone Adapter.

Belkin has designed special Acrylic Case for iPhone, which is thin and compact thus it is easy to carry. Besides, the case is made of hard acrylic which protects the iPhone in the pocket. At the same time, the acrylic case from Belkin provides comfortable access to the hard keys, ports, and navigation screen. This case is available now at the price of $29.99 (around 1,200 INR).

The Slim-Fit Case is another iPhone peripheral from Belkin. This new case is made from leather and is incorporated with removable belt clip. User can easily remove and keep the iPhone safely back into the case. Also, the base of the case has special mesh design, which allows full speaker volume. This Slim-Fit Case has padded exterior, which will provide users extra comfort in just $29.99 (around 1,200 INR).

iPhone 3G priced at $199 Worldwide

Apple iPhone 3G version

Market research shows that many Apple iPhone owners have accessed TV and video content, with greater frequency than subscribers using other types of mobile handsets. With added 3G capability, the Apple iPhone will bring the following highly attractive attributes to the mobile TV market:

• Video-friendly specifications, including high-quality widescreen display, substantial internal memory and low battery consumption.
• Access to a rapidly increasing range of TV and video content provided by Apple or specifically optimised for the iPhone. By May 2008, the iTunes Store had a catalogue of 600 TV programmes and over 1500 films and, by April 2008, Apple iTunes had sold 125 million TV programmes.
• The ability to support multiple methods of delivering TV and video content, including sideloading, indoor WLAN and high-speed 3G cellular data access. Sideloading and indoor WLAN minimises the amount of TV and video traffic that needs to be carried on 3G networks, allowing 3G operators to support high rates of mobile TV penetration.

Get iPhone 3GS with insurance from Best Buy

Are you getting ready to grab the new iPhone next Friday? Might be you’ll love this news. Since AT&T wouldn’t offer insurance for any iPhone, seems Best Buy’s offering is worth purchasing. For some peace of mind, of course.

Normal cell phone insurance via Best Buy will cost you anywhere from $7 to $10 a month. Not the case with iPhone 3G S, Best Buy has raised this fee to a cool $15 a month. This premium fee is most likely due to the full retail price of the 3G S being so high at $599 and $699.

Good news is that this insurance will cover all sorts of damage – liquid damage, cracked screens, cracked casing, etc… All you have to do is bring your damaged iPhone into any Best Buy, they will fix it or replace your device on the spot.

AT&T Offers Refurbished iPhone 3Gs Starting at $99

I was among the many who was hoping that the rumor that Walmart would be selling a $99 iPhone 3G was accurate. As it turned out Walmart did in fact get the iPhone 3G, but the price was only slightly less than other iPhone retailers.

However, your hopes of a $99 iPhone 3G aren’t completely dashed, at least not for a few more days. AT&T is currently offering refurbished iPhones while supplies last. The 8GB refurb handset will sell for the magic $99 number.

Those wanting more storage can opt for a 16GB iPhone 3G at $199. That price for each handset requires a 2-year contract, which you would have to agree to no matter when you bought or what price you paid. The price is good until December 31 on the refurbished handsets. I expect that the available refurb devices will run out quickly.

Apple Iphone new Pictures

iphone 3G

The iPhone is an Internet-connected, multimedia GSM smartphone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. Because its minimal hardware interface lacks a physical keyboard, the multi-touch screen renders a virtual keyboard when necessary. The iPhone functions as a camera phone (also including text messaging and visual voicemail), a portable media player (equivalent to a video iPod), and an Internet client (with email, web browsing, and Wi-Fi connectivity). The first-generation phone hardware was quad-band GSM with EDGE; the second generation added UMTS with HSDPA; the third generation adds support for 7.2Mbps HSPA.^[16]

Apple announced the iPhone on January 9, 2007,^[17] after months of rumors and speculation.^[18] The original iPhone was introduced in the United States on June 29, 2007 before being marketed worldwide. Time magazine named it the Invention of the Year in 2007.^[19] Released July 11, 2008, the iPhone 3G supports faster 3G data speeds and assisted GPS.^[16] On March 17, 2009, Apple announced version 3.0 of the iPhone OS operating system for the iPhone (and iPod Touch), released on June 17, 2009.^[20] The iPhone 3GS was announced on June 8, 2009.

The iPhone 3G’s yellow screen of warmth explained

Many people who purchased the new iPhone 3G on Friday noticed that it’s got a noticeably yellower tint to the screen than the iPhone 2G. The yellow cast on the iPhone 3G screen was explained this way by Bob Borchers, senior director of product marketing for the iPhone:

the screen’s color temperature has been purposely altered on the new iPhone to produce warmer, more natural tones, sharper images, and deeper blacks. The company says that 1st gen iPhone screens appeared colder and less defined, and they made some adjustments for the new models.

Now it’s come to light courtesy of Ars Technica that the warmer screen temperature is a function of Firmware version 2.0 5A345 which ships on all U.S. iPhone 3G’s out of the box. Updating to the slightly newer version 2.0 5A347 firmware (via iTunes “Restore” function) reverts back to the colder, bluish cast reminiscent of the iPhone 2G.

So what gives, Apple? Is it going to be yellow or blue? How about simply making it a preference under Settings > Brightness?

Touch phones that are not the iPhone

Separated at birth, asks Engadget? LG is capitalising on Apple’s forthcoming iPhone by beating it to the punch with the award-winning KE850, which Engadget featured in December.

Now it has been unveiled as the sleek LG Prada, “which they proudly tout as the world’s ‘first completely touch screen mobile phone.’ Er, unless you consider the ones from Motorola, HTC, and others,” says Engadget. (Pity Engadget slips up by calling it an “iPhone look-a-like”. If anything, the iPhone is a Prada look-a-like.)

Even the open source movement can benefit from iPhone hype. Gizmodo ran a story on the Linux-based OpenMoko FIC Neo1973 smartphone last November, complete with an illustration of its pinch interface. More recently, Gizmodo has also put the OpenMoko next to an iPhone to show how similar they are.

Of course, as mentioned in today’s Technology cover story, this stuff goes back a long way. Indeed, it’s not even new in phones.

I’m not sure when the first all-touch-screen phone came out, though I certainly used one in 2000: it was a Sagem WA3050 — essentially a PocketPC with a monochrome screen. It worked very well. Even before that, I think, we had the Handspring Visor, a Palm-style PDA, that could take a plug-in to turn it into a mobile phone.

Now there are lots of touch-screen phones, including the HP iPaq h6315 PocketPC Phone that are small and have colour screens. It’s a phone! It’s a music and movie player! It’s a PDA!!! — an abbreviation that Steve Jobs apparently can’t bring himself to utter, perhaps because it was popularised by John Sculley, who replaced him at Apple.

iphone zoom lens: get ready for your close-up

If you happen to own an iPhone, you know that the built-in digital camera is pretty limited due to its fixed lens. Now you can add a zoom lens which will let you get up close and personal with your photographic subject.

This add-on 6x optical zoom lens by Conice might look a little weird protruding from the back of your iPhone, but it will give you much greater flexibility for your photos. I’ve seen similar add-on lenses for cell phones before, and while they’re not as good as a built-in zoom lens, they’re better than nothing if you’ve got a steady hand. Since the iPhone doesn’t have any sort of image stabilization or a tripod mount, you might have some trouble keeping zoom photos in focus.

The lens attaches to a protective plastic case that snaps snugly around your iPhone, so it can easily be removed when you’re not using it. Keep in mind that the lens and case weigh in at 4.69 ounces, which nearly doubles the 4.8 ounce weight of a stock iPhone. If you don’t mind adding a little extra bulk to your phone, you can pick one up from DealExtreme for just under $15.

Apple’s new iPhone

looks like a thing of beauty. Widescreen touch interface, no buttons, runs OS X, useful widgets, integrated email, Google Maps, Google/Yahoo search, visual voicemail (see who voicemail is from before you call), SMS, Wifi, etc. etc. Oh, and it plays music.

 

A lot of people are wondering just how big this thing is. Using the technical specs from apple.com, I grabbed some cardboard, scissors, and glue and made a scale model of the iPhone. Here it is:

 

 

My hands aren’t that big (I can barely palm a basketball on a good day), but it still seems to fit pretty well. How does it stack up against similar devices?

Here’s the iPhone vs. my current mobile phone, the Nokia 7610:

 

iPhone vs. a 5G iPod:

 Thickness of the cardboard iPhone vs. the 5G iPod:

 

1G iPod shuffle, 3G iPod, 5G iPod and the iPhone:

 

iPhone vs. a TiVo remote and a Wii remote:

 

 

That’s all the gadgets I could find on a couple of hours notice.

I also dug up something I wrote a couple of years ago in the gigantic text file I keep on my Powerbook of ideas for kottke.org posts. 99% of the stuff in that file is completely dunderheaded, but I have to say I hit close to the mark on this one:

true convergence of phone + mp3 player will happen when someone solves this user experience puzzle: physically not enough room for two optimized interfaces (one for calls, one for music) on same small device. possible solution: no buttons, replace with touch screen that covers the whole front with one-touch switching between modes…

Once we’re able to get our hands on it and use the interface, the iPhone could turn out to be a disappointment, but they’re heading in the right direction at least. More thoughts soon.

The Best Accessories for your iPhone

Apple iPhone Accessories

The Apple iPhone will be released in June of 2007 and you can expect a large number of manufacturers to deliver iPhone accessories at that time. As per our iPhone FAQ, the iPhone will support most existing iPod accessories. One of the most critical iPhone accessories will be a case or screen protector. The beauty of the iPhone is the crystal clear screen, but it will also be prone to scratches.

The iPhone uses multi-touch technology which requires you use the touch screen to navigate the phone. This will undoubtedly result in “smudges”. While cases can protect your iPhone from drops, an iPhone screen protector will protect the screen from accidental scratches from a fingernail. It is a further safeguard against mishaps and allow you to enjoy Zoolander in all it’s glory.

At the time of this article (January, 2007), manufacturers have already started offering cases for the yet to be released iPhone. In addition to the $499 or $599 price tag, it’s highly recommended that new iPhone owners add a case to their budget. A case is the most important of iPhone accessories, as it will protect your investment. Cingular has not confirmed if they will be offering insurance on the iPhone.You can discuss iPhone accessories in our forums. You’ll get feedback on compatibility with existing iPod accessories and add your thoughts on what products you’d like to see released.iphone-accessory

Hands-On With the iPhone 3G

I just finished my quick 15 minutes with the iPhone 3G. Here are some first impressions.

Smoother Look and Feel
Though I didn’t have a gen one iPhone to compare it to, the iPhone 3G felt lighter and softer in my hand. I was immediately attracted to the white 16GB (apparently because it is more feminine). The white back is glossy and smooth and has a rounded back to it. The front of the phone looks like the original with black edges surrounding the screen. It is confirmed: the headphone jack on the 3G phone is 3.5 mm.

Speedy Browsing
After checking out the new hardware, it was time to put the 3G to the test. It took about two seconds to transition from Wi-Fi to the 3G network. I tested out the speeds on three sites: It took the phone 4 seconds to load www.laptopmag.com, 2 seconds to load cnn.com; 3 seconds to load www.nytimes.com. Pretty damn speedy.

Swift GPS Connection
I couldn’t get the best handle on the GPS here in the convention center. But I was able to bring up a map of the San Fran area. According to an Apple rep, turn-by-turn directions will be available through the Maps program. Above the map was a button to find “current location.”

What else can I report on the iPhone 3G? Apple showed off its new charging cube. It is a small block that can fit into your pocket, just don’t forget to carry your USB cord. Also, the App store icon was front and center on the main menu.

After my 10 minutes were up, the iPhone 3G was taken from my hands and sent back to its charging dock. Until we meet again iPhone 3G…Until we meet again…

Palm’s iPhone blunder

In the world of TV shows, they have a term for that moment when a popular TV series goes over the top and begins its inexorable decline. It’s called “jumping the shark,” a phrase that originated with that ridiculous Happy Days episode in which the Fonz literally jumped over a shark on water skis–wearing his leather jacket all the while, of course. I’m not sure what they call it in the world of technology when a company hits a tipping point, but I remember the moment when I thought Palm had jumped the shark.

It was a couple of years ago, and the good folks from Palm had come out to give us an early preview of a new handheld the company was going to be releasing, the LifeDrive. What was weird about the moment was that the LifeDrive was actually a pretty sexy device on the surface. It was sleek looking, and it had a nice, sharp screen, as well a built-in hard-drive and Wi-Fi capabilities. The LifeDrive was Palm’s response to the iPod; the only problem was it cost $500, it didn’t have a cell phone in it, and it was a year too late.

“This is nice,” I said to the Palm reps, “but who’s going to buy it?”

The LifeDrive could’ve been a pre-iPhone iPhone

 

The LifeDrive, of course, was Palm’s last-gasp effort to breathe a little life into the dying handheld market it had pioneered. At this point, the Treo was in full swing and still enjoying rock-star status, so the idea was to get the non-cell-phone side fired up with something more than low-cost, small-margin units. But it didn’t take a genius to figure out that Palm needed to pour all its resources into making better, more innovative Treos.

To be fair, Palm deserves credit for the Treo. It’s still a popular device, and Palm has made some significant improvements as it’s progressed from the 600, to the 650, to the 700; and now to the 680 and the 750. Yet the overall design of the Treo hasn’t changed all that dramatically in the last three years, while a growing horde of slimmer and sleeker smart phones, such as the Samsung BlackJack, the Motorola Q, the HTC S710 Vox, the LG Prada, the Nokia E62, and the BlackBerry 8800, have already pulled both mindshare and market share away from the Treo. And now there’s the iPhone, which is proving to be the mother of all mindshare suckers, months before it even hits the market.

Now before you go thinking that I pray at the temple of Apple, you should know that I don’t think the iPhone is guaranteed to be a runaway success. It’s really expensive ($500 to $600), and chances are the touch-screen interface–especially the virtual keyboard–won’t appeal to everyone. Battery life may be an issue. And the original version of the iPhone will not be a true 3G phone. In short, for Apple to get everything right out of the gate would be remarkable. And for those who think Apple is infallible, take a look at the darkened–once white–palm rests on the Macbook that I told my mother to buy. You’d think that someone in the quality control department would make sure the plastics Apple used weren’t prone to discoloration and absorbing the skin’s natural oils. Sadly, that wasn’t the case. (Apple has since corrected this problem and she’s having the plastic replaced this week–but it’s still surprising.)

I digress, however. Palm has jumped the shark. Some might argue that it actually jumped the shark earlier than I’ve indicated–that it stuck with the Palm V (and black-and-white organizers in general) for too long, that it had no real follow-up to version 5 of the Palm operating system (Garnet), that it lost control of the Palm OS to Access, and that over the years it has lost millions on branding/naming fiascos (Palm Pilot, Palm Source, PalmOne, and finally just Palm). And let’s not forget that the Treo itself was developed not by Palm but by Handspring–a rival company started by Palm’s disenfranchised founders that Palm ended up acquiring. And Palm’s recent adoption of the Windows Mobile OS in some of its flagship products (the 700w and 750) is more or less an admission that its own operating system has serious shortfalls. But let’s not dwell on the past. Once you’ve jumped the shark, what’s one to do?

First step, hire a consultant–er, well, a new designer in Palm’s case. As rumors continue to swirl that Palm may be on the block, word went out that Palm had inked a deal with Paul Mercer, a top software designer and former Apple engineer. According to the New York Times, Mercer and a couple of employees from his design firm, Iventor, had joined Palm, but that Palm hadn’t bought the company outright–in other words, Mercer is most likely a mercenary. He’s known as an interface guru, and it seems that Palm–along with other cell-phone manufacturers in the industry–have seen enough of the iPhone in action to realize that Apple can do the most damage by bringing simplicity and elegance to a complicated, feature-rich device. And contrary to what some industry analysts are saying, that also involves hardware and not just software design. Where you put the buttons and how the keyboard is laid out–and whether the phone is a candy-bar or slider–does make a difference.

The one big issue for Palm is that, by the time it brings out its new, revolutionary device, Apple will already be on to its next-generation iPhone, which, as evidenced by the progression of the iPod, will be significantly better. The Motorolas and the HTCs, with their Windows Mobile-powered devices, will also have made their refinements. Once you’re behind the curve, it’s hard to get out front again–especially when it comes to cell phones, where the service providers call a lot of the shots and can muck things up. (I can’t see Steve Jobs allowing a service provider to dictate to him, but it is a complicated dance for most cell phone makers).

I hope I’m wrong. I like Palm. I liked the LifeDrive. It just should have been the PalmPhone. But unless the company can get back to innovating–and quickly–it’s quite possible that the once mighty Treo might end up as yet another model in the Motorola or Nokia product line.

Apple IPhone 3G reviews and coverage

The Apple iPhone 3G has been officially launched, as well as the MobileMe program, the Apple App Store, and the release of the iPhone 2.0 firmware. There is a lot to cover: first we will head on to the unboxing, then proceed to live images of the device itself and important notes from reviews, cover the software and the ability to unlock the iPhone OS 2.0 firmware, select the top ten applications and games for the iPhone 3G from the App Store, and end up blowing the old iPhone. Stay tuned!

We get images all the way from China to the United States of America. The first images appeared at iPhone Portugal (it had to be our country) but were soon taken off from the forum.

In case you are not happy with the White and Black varieties of the iPhone, you could always get yourself one dripping of white gold and diamonds from Goldstriker [source: Textually]:

Now that we have looked at the outside, let’s take a look at the “insides”. iFixIt has taken apart the Apple iPhone 3G straight after launch. I suggest you to read their guide if you want to learn how to take apart the iPhone 3G or how to repair the iPhone 3G [via 2dayBlog via UberGizmos]

Below is the iPhone 3G’s battery. Once again, there is no removal cover for the battery, so if you want a replacement you will have to send it all the way to Apple and pay a hefty US$86 (atleast in the US).

Time to move to the most interesting bit in my opinion: the reviews. It’s always good to know what the industry experts think of the new iPhone. Should you buy it? Why yes or why no?

First up is Stuff.tv with their video hands-on iPhone 3G [via MacRumours], and next is David Pogue from The New York Times.

iPhone gets firmware upgrade: version 2.1

Steve Jobs has just announced that the iPhone’s firmware has been upgraded to version 2.1 (from 2.0.2).

It’s a free upgrade, available from the iTunes store from Friday.

It will offer a number of performance improvements, better battery life, less application crashes, faster backup when syncing, fewer dropped calls.

No mention of any particular new features, though, which is a tad disappointing, but performance enhancements are never unwelcome.

iPhone 3G going RED?

While rumors of the salt and pepper colored iPhone 3G pair reigned true, it is now time to look toward the emergence of yet another addition to the team. MacBlogz has learned through an unconfirmed source that a possible red iPhone 3G may be slated for a holiday release in attempts to boost sales.

With the iPhone 3G’s recent transition to a plastic casing, it would not seem difficult for Apple to add colors as they wish. The festive colored iPhone 3G would also serve as a (PRODUCT) RED offering, which donates a percentage of profits to anti-retroviral medicine to help fight HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Apple has already been on board with the (PRODUCT) RED campaign, offering a special edition 8GB iPod nano and 1GB iPod shuffle to the cause. They have also released a (PRODUCT) RED iTunes gift card that donates 10% of proceeds.

I for one, would certainly invite the addition of more colors to the iPhone 3G line. Come the holiday season Apple might have everyone seeing red.

Best Buy iPhone Shortages and More iPhone Production Rumors

 

Best Buy is reported to have issued a memo indicating that iPhone 3G supplies were now in constraint, according to AppleInsider. The reports follows other claims that 16GB iPhone had been “end of life’d” in Australia.

In addition to these reports, Digitimes reported last week that 5 Taiwan-based circuit board manufacturers had already started shipping parts for the new iPhone which is expected in June. Taken together, there seems to be increasing evidence that a new iPhone will be revised at or around WWDC. Over the weekend, even some possible screen photos of the new iPhone were revealed from a Hong Kong based site but were quickly removed.

Meanwhile, analysts are still speculating about what processor might drive the new iPhone. Most expect that Apple will still be using off-the-shelf parts as they are unlikely to have yet had the time to ramp up their own custom chip production. For what it’s worth, MacRumors has heard that Apple will indeed be using the ARM Cortex for the next iPhone. This is the same class of processor used in the upcoming Palm Pre.

The iPhone 3G FAQ

Steve Jobs may have launched the iPhone 3G on Monday, and we may have gotten a hands on with it already, but in typical Apple fashion, there’s still a lot of stuff left unsaid. How does activation work? How will first-gen iPhone users bring an iPhone 3G onto their plan? Does the GPS work for driving? How much will games cost on the App Store? We’ve got answers. Lots of them.

The Phone

How much will an iPhone 3G cost? $199 for the 8GB version, which comes only in black, and $299 for the 16GB version which comes in black and white.

What’s changed between the first generation and the iPhone 3G? Honestly? Not all that much. The iPhone 3G has all the features of the first one, plus faster 3G data downloads, GPS, and a better battery life. Externally, the phone’s casing is slightly changed, with a thinner edge and thicker middle, but a flush headphone jack and solid-colored back make up the only other major differences visually. Everything else from the screen to the number of buttons and switches on the outside are the same.

How much will it really cost me over 2 years?. That depends on how many minutes you use and how many text messages you want to sign up for, but at AT&T’s lowest plan price of $39 a month for 450 minutes, plus a mandatory $30 data charge and $5 for 200 text messages, you’re looking at $1975 over the course of two years. Before tax and other fees. Here’s how it stacks up against the old iPhone and against other 3G smartphones on Verizon and Sprint.

When can I buy it? If you’re in one of the first countries to get the phone, which includes the US, Canada, the UK, Spain, Japan and Mexico, it’s July 11. Otherwise, it’s still unknown. Come July 11, there’s going to be a gigantic line of people wanting that phone. You’ll have to wait not only for people in front of you to buy a phone, but activate it too—which is now mandatory and takes about 10-15 minutes. If you can wait, we’d recommend going after July 11.

Where can I buy it? In either an Apple store or an AT&T store. There won’t be any online orders for this one.

How fast is the 3G over 2G (EDGE)? During the WWDC keynote, Steve Jobs showed a demo that compared the iPhone 3G vs. the old iPhone when downloading a large web page with lots of images. Apple’s site lists the result of that matchup as 20 seconds vs. 48 seconds, which is 2.4x faster. We’ve got a explainer about the details of 3G as well, if you’re interested.

How does the GPS work? We’ve got a great tutorial on how the iPhone’s GPS works. Long story short, it’s A-GPS, or assisted GPS, which means most of the time it uses the cell towers and Wi-Fi to help triangulate (but doesn’t necessarily need help). If you’re looking to use the iPhone 3G as a GPS in your car for navigation, there’s a catch. There’s a restriction in the SDK that prohibits developers from using the phone for “real time route guidance”. You can still use Google Maps to help guide you if you’re lost, but it’s not as smooth a system as a real GPS. TomTom may have an iPhone 3G guidance suite already in the works, despite the SDK restrictions.

Will the added 3G and GPS hurt my battery life? Apple’s improved the battery life compared to the old version, which ups the talk time on 2G (same as the first iPhone) from 8 hours to 10 hours. On 3G, you get half that. So yes, your battery life will be significantly degraded when you’re using 3G instead of 2G. Apple still hasn’t provided numbers on how much GPS use will degrade your talk time.

What about that rumor that the iPhone 3G has a front camera? Yeah, not so much. Apple didn’t say anything about that during their keynote, and there’s been no evidence of it yet. There’s a weird anomaly on the demo iPhone that Apple’s Phil Schiller was using on stage during the event, but it’s probably just a weird fingerprint.

What comes inside the iPhone 3G box? Not a whole lot. There’s no dock, but there is a smaller charger that’s great for children.

Does the iPhone 3G finally have MMS/picture messaging? Unfortunately not. Not officially, anyway. There are third-party apps already available that give your iPhone a sort of MMS functionality, but it’s not great.

Can I tether the iPhone 3G to my laptop to get on-the-go internet? Not out of the box, no. The old iPhone was able to be hacked into doing this, but EDGE speeds meant that people only really used it in emergencies. With 3G, it’ll be much more useful. We’ll keep an eye on this one.

How durable is it compared to the first-gen? Our hands-on will tell you more about that, but from what we heard, the new backing is a lot more fingerprint-smudgy than the first.

The Software

When will the iPhone 2.0 software be released? At the very latest, July 11, when the iPhone 3G is launched. There are rumors that it can come as early as June 27, but Apple hasn’t given any official word yet.

Do I need an iPhone 3G to get Exchange and other businessy features? Actually, no. Apple’s site makes no mention of needing iPhone 3G, and specifies that you only need iPhone 2.0 software. Since iPhone 2.0 is available on the old 2G iPhones, you should be in luck.

What’s MobileMe? It’s Apple’s replacement for .Mac, which manages your email, calendar, contacts, pictures and various other things. It’s useful for iPhone users because it allows you to sync stuff automatically between your phone and your various computers. Any changes you make on one device gets pushed to the other ones.

Do I need an iPhone 3G to use MobileMe’s syncing features? No, you can actually even use it on an iPod Touch, if you bought got one of those by accident.

Do I need an iPhone 3G to use the iPhone 2.0 software? No, you’re free to install the new software on your existing iPhone, taking advantage of pretty much all the software features—including the App Store—that are on the iPhone 3G.

Are there limits to what kind of applications I can download in the App Store? Not really. A good 71% of iPhone applications will be free, with the rest starting at a price of $0.99 going all the way up to $999. You can pretty much download as many apps as you have space for on your phone. The largest applications will be 2GB, but we don’t think there are going to be very many at that weight. The Sims for iPhone, maybe, if EA ever decides to release that.

Is there going to be iChat? Apple unveiled the AIM application back at the last event, but as far as we know, there hasn’t been any talk of iChat (like the one on OS X). As such, we wouldn’t count on any iChat Video chat either.

Who’s making and supporting games? Unlike the iPod games, which were only made by a select few companies, pretty much anybody can make stuff for the iPhone. Look out for both major game developers and one-man coding shops to make games you want to play.

The Service

Do I need to sign a new two-year contract with AT&T if I buy a new iPhone 3G? Yes, but the good news is that your old contract gets ripped up. If you signed yourself into AT&T’s grasp back when the iPhone was launched, you’ll only have to stick with them for another two years starting now, not three. It’s as if you’re an entirely new customer.

Can I activate my iPhone over iTunes like I did the first time? Apple and AT&T want you to activate your phone in stores, but there’s a possibility of activating it over iTunes if you somehow didn’t do it in the store. However, you will be required to sign an agreement while you’re in the store stating that you’re going to enter into a 2-year contract eventually, and you’ll be penalized if you don’t sign up within 30 days. More details are here.

Will my old iPhone plan work with the new iPhone? No. You’ll have to sign up for 3G data, which is $30 (the old iPhone plan was $20). If you want those same 200 SMS messages that were bundled with the old plan, you’ll have to pay an extra $5 a month. If you want unlimited messaging, it’s $20 a month.

Will activating a new iPhone 3G brick my old iPhone? Definitely not. You’ll be able to give your 1st gen iPhone to someone to reactivate via iTunes on a new plan.

If I want to keep my old iPhone on the $20 data plan, will it still be around? Yes! You can keep using that for now, until the time that AT&T feels like they really need you off that plan. Thanks adrunkenmonkey

Can I use the iPhone 3G on a prepaid plan? AT&T hasn’t confirmed this yet, but we’ll try and find out. Thanks KJA.

Update: Reader PJ has pointed out that AT&T’s policy is that no prepaid and pick your plan will be allowed with the iPhone 3G.

What are European iPhone plans looking like? You’ll have to check your local provider, but from what we’ve been hearing, O2 in the UK and Telefonica in Spain will get free a iPhone 3G if they sign up for an 18-month plan that’s at least $88/month.

What happens a year from now when Apple releases an even better iPhone? Nobody really knows, but it’s likely that they’ll just do what they did this time and have you buy the phone and renew the contract for another two years. Thanks Gregory.

What’s the price for the iPhone for existing AT&T customers who may or may not be eligible for an upgrade? AT&T’s just told us that yes, ineligible customers will have to pay the full, unsubsidized price for the iPhone. See the post for more, but basically it won’t be $199 and $299. No official price has been set yet.

The Rest

Will there be cases for the iPhone 3G when it launches? Yes. Belkin and Griffin, two of the bigger case manufacturers, have already made a whole bunch of cases like this one for people who really need to protect their phones. Those should be available come July 11.

Can I get a free upgrade to the iPhone 3G? I just bought an old one! Yes, if you purchased it after May 27.

Did some feature that I wanted get added to the iPhone 3G? If the feature you wanted wasn’t 3G, GPS, or a flush headphone jack, the answer is probably no. No copy and paste, no video recording and no improved camera, among other things.

Will I be able to use this thing on T-Mobile like I was before? Eventually? Probably. The iPhone hacking team says that they’ve got a pretty good grip on the 2.0 firmware, which means they can most likely jailbreak it soon after the iPhone 3G is released. With that done, it’s only a matter of time that they’ll be able to SIM unlock it to use on other networks. The only problem is getting past AT&T’s mandatory in-store activation after you purchase a phone.

If I somehow get hold of an iPhone 3G and shove in a SIM from my old iPhone, what happens? That’s a pretty damn good question. We’re not sure. If the iPhone 3G is straight out of the box, it’ll need to be activated. If it somehow already got activated (or, hacktivated), you might be able to just use it on your old iPhone 2G plan. We’ll keep an eye on this. Thanks Moe.

Should I sell my old iPhone to raise money for the new one? Sure, if you don’t know anybody who’s worthy enough for you to give your old one to, you might as well sell it.

Should I sell my old iPhone to raise money for the new one on Craigslist if I live in a lousy neighborhood? No. No you shouldn’t.

What’s the return policy like? You’ve got 30 days to get that thing back to AT&T if you discover that your AT&T reception is super lousy at your house, or if you just don’t like the thing.

Does the iPhone 3G work like an iPod with iPod accessories? Yes, it works just like the first iPhone does. Most iPod accessories will support the iPhone 3G, but some speaker docks might have some GSM interference static if it isn’t shielded correctly.

Can I use the iPhone 3G on Verizon or Sprint? Nope, never. Not even if you unlock it.

Can I still buy your book teaching me how to use it? Sure. Most of the basic functions such as calling, texting, iPodding and emailing are the same in the new iPhone 2.0 firmware as they are in the old one. You or the person you buy it for will still get a lot of use out of it. Plus, you can then lead off all your emails to me with the line “I bought your book, so…” in order to coerce me into responding faster.

If we haven’t answered your question, feel free to shoot me an email (it’s on the left-hand column) with the subject “iPhone 3G FAQ” and I’ll try and update this FAQ with the answer. Thanks!

Updateds for 6/16/08

If I buy my friend’s old iPhone when he updates to iPhone 3G, can I use it as a cheap iPod touch without activating it? Yup! Everything but the calling features should be active, except it will say “No SIM” at the top. Thanks Andy.

In light of MobileMe apparently being an instant push service, will iPhone 3G also support push from other IMAP service providers? We haven’t heard any word from Apple that there’s any kind of push email besides to MobileMe and Exchange servers, not counting Yahoo, which is already push now. Thanks Andrew.

Will you be able to buy insurance through AT&T like for other standard plan phones? AT&T’s Asurion will cover all phones for $5 EXCEPT the iPhone, which is the way it’s been since the first iPhone’s launch. Thanks John.

What are the chances of Apple releasing an iPhone with increased data storage before the next-next gen iPhones come out? Pretty damn likely. I’d expect a 32GB iPhone some time late this year or early next year. Thanks David.

What will happen to the current Installer.app once the App Store launches? Will people keep updating this or will it be considered piracy? Apple doesn’t exactly welcome the current Installer.app and jailbreaking efforts with open arms. However, since the App Store is going to be bringing in revenue to Apple, it’s possible that through jailbreaking and Installer.app, you could bring pay-for-play apps for free onto your phone without actually paying for it.

My wife currently has a [insert lousy phone] with AT&T. Will she be able to keep her phone number when she upgrades to the iPhone 3G? Yes. She’ll be able to renew the contract for 2 years and still keep her phone number. Thanks John.

I’ve got international roaming on my AT&T plan now. Can I take the iPhone 3G to various countries, including Japan? We don’t have official confirmation of this from Apple yet, it’s likely that your phone will work in Japan. The iPhone is Quad-Band, which means it works on GSM/EDGE on the 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz frequencies and UMTS/HSDPA on the 850, 1900 and 2100 MHz frequencies. Because of the reports that Apple’s using Softbank to distribute iPhones in Japan, we can deduce that you should be able to roam just fine. From Wikipedia:

SoftBank Mobile currently operates both PDC (Japanese 2G) and W-CDMA (UMTS 3G) networks. SoftBank’s 3G network is compatible with UMTS and supports transparent global roaming for existing UMTS subscribers from other countries outside Japan. Subscribers of GSM networks having roaming agreements with SoftBank Mobile can also roam on the SoftBank 3G network by using UMTS handsets.

Thanks Randall.

Will MobileMe users have the ability to perform a remote wipe of their lost/stolen iPhone 3G? It’s not one of the features listed on Apple’s site for MobileMe, and it’s more a business/Enterprise feature. It’s unlikely, but we don’t know for sure.

Will you need the $45 AT&T Enterprise data plan in order to use Exchange or MobileMe? For MobileMe, no. That’ll be available to everybody. We’re checking on the Exchange part. Thanks Thomas.

What will happen to my rollover minutes I accrued over the last year? AT&T’s preliminary answer says that you’ll keep your rollover minutes, but there’s no official statement on this yet. Thanks Brian.

I have 2 years of AppleCare through October of 2009. If something happens to my phone in the future and they want to replace it, will I get an iPhone 3G or the old one? That depends on Apple. If they’ve got any stock of the original one, they’ll give you a refurbished unit. If they’ve only got iPhone 3Gs left, you might get lucky? Thanks Boyd.

After I activate my iPhone 3G, will I be able to sync all the settings from my old iPhone onto it? Yes. When you activate the new phone, iTunes will ask you if you want to sync the old existing data onto it. Do a sync with your old phone before docking your new one and you’ll be set. Thanks Andrew.

7/3 Update

Is there a difference between buying the iPhone at AT&T and buying it at Apple? Only if you’re a business customer. AT&T says that there’s no difference between regular customers, and both stores can do things like transferring your number from another carrier. See here for more details.

What’s the final pricing information for AT&T’s plans? Here it is below.

What time will the iPhone be on sale on July 11? 8am, so if you really, really want one, you might have to camp out.

What new features are coming in iTunes 7.7, the update that’s coming July 11 along with the iPhone 2.0 software and iPhone 3G? MobileMe stuff, parental controls for games, and various other features like using your iPhone and iPod Touch as an iTunes remote. Click here for video and screenshots.

Wait, did you just say that iPhone will be able to control iTunes? Yup. You’re getting a free remote control App.

Is there a good reason why the enterprise data plan is more expensive than the standard one? A good reason? AT&T says it’s because business customers use more data than consumers, so they charge more.

Is there an upgrade fee for the iPhone 3G on AT&T? Yes. $18, says AT&T.

iPhone 3G S, Already Sold Out?

If you remember to just one short year ago, there was a sort of magic in the air. The iPhone 3G launch was very hyped and going to be a big day for AT&T and Apple. I remember the electricity I felt parking in the parking lot of my nearest AT&T dealer and going to stand in line. I was 8th or something in line and the first out of the store with my iPhone 3G btw. Despite the crash of the iTunes sever that day EVERYONE was happy with how things were going. Yeah I wanted the app store to be up really badly, but I had the iPhone 3G s right there in my hands. Times were good.

Somehow though. this time around, AT&T has really left a bad taste in my mouth. Although it may bode well for sales of the iPhone 3G S, it’s bad that they have already run out when Apple has shown no signs of running out of inventory. AT&T is just slipping don’t you think? Although I think Apple may have a hand in this, the fact still remains that I’ve lost that magic feeling. Why must you do this to me AT&T. You’ve forced Apple into a hard spot. They’ve brought great features and functionality to us, the masses, and all you want to do is charge us out the wazoo for these features. How crazy is it to anyone else out there reading that on your own line with an iPhone it costs you close to $100. Add in an unlimited text plan and if it ever comes the tethering plan it’s going to be astronomical. Good thing I’m on a family share plan.

 

One thing to do that will certainly ruin your business is to really piss off your customers, but not only that some of the most loyal and highest paying customers. Since I’m sure you know that your iPhone data plans that EVERYONE must pay are bringing in a lot of your revenue. Your slow to give us iPhone users features that anyone else on AT&T has already had, tethering, mms, etc…

About the time that I finally strike out on my own I’ll be looking for my own cell plan, with my iPhone of course. By that time it seems ripe that the AT&T and Apple relationship will officially be sour and perhaps I’ll consider paying another network to take better care of me. It looks as if the moons and stars may align soon, if AT&T doesn’t get with it. I love my iPhone and I love Apple for bringing it great new features and great new software, but something has to be done about the giant that’s not moving.

Thoughts, opinions on the AT&T Apple relationship? I want to know what you think this time around, as always I appreciate you reading.

Apple iPhone 3G reviews and coverage

The Apple iPhone 3G has been officially launched, as well as the MobileMe program, the Apple App Store, and the release of the iPhone 2.0 firmware. There is a lot to cover: first we will head on to the unboxing, then proceed to live images of the device itself and important notes from reviews, cover the software and the ability to unlock the iPhone OS 2.0 firmware, select the top ten applications and games for the iPhone 3G from the App Store, and end up blowing the old iPhone. Stay tuned!

We get images all the way from China to the United States of America. The first images appeared at iPhone Portugal (it had to be our country) but were soon taken off from the forum.

In case you are not happy with the White and Black varieties of the iPhone, you could always get yourself one dripping of white gold and diamonds from Goldstriker [source: Textually]:

Now that we have looked at the outside, let’s take a look at the “insides”. iFixIt has taken apart the Apple iPhone 3G straight after launch. I suggest you to read their guide if you want to learn how to take apart the iPhone 3G or how to repair the iPhone 3G [via 2dayBlog via UberGizmos]

Below is the iPhone 3G’s battery. Once again, there is no removal cover for the battery, so if you want a replacement you will have to send it all the way to Apple and pay a hefty US$86 (atleast in the US).

Time to move to the most interesting bit in my opinion: the reviews. It’s always good to know what the industry experts think of the new iPhone. Should you buy it? Why yes or why no?

First up is Stuff.tv with their video hands-on iPhone 3G [via MacRumours], and next is David Pogue from The New York Times.

Pogue insists that the iPhone’s audio clarity has improved, and it takes the iPhone 3G’s sound quality between the world’s best:

The third improvement is audio quality, which has taken a gigantic step forward. You sound crystal clear to your callers, and they sound crystal clear to you. In fact, few cellphones sound this good.

Another improvement is the shape of the device, and the addition of a 3.5mm jack for non-Apple earphones. Pogue writes that the iPhone 3G fits the hand better as it’s more curved:

[...] the new iPhone feels even better in your hand, thanks to a gracefully curved, shiny plastic back. It also has a standard headphone jack — hallelujah! — so no clunky adapter is required for your favorite non-Apple headphones.

Now a disavantadge to the iPhone 3G is its GPS, as its antenna is too small to calculate accurate positions. Even the N95 had problems in its first firmware release, but that was due to the lack of AGPS. What is Apple going to blame that on?

Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do with the G.P.S. According to Apple, the iPhone’s G.P.S. antenna is much too small to emulate the turn-by-turn navigation of a G.P.S. unit for a vehicle, for example.

Picture: Engadget

That isn’t the only problem. Software-wise there aren’t many changes besides the Apple App Store which we spoke about yesterday. The defects from the first iPhone continue in this edition, as written by the author:

There’s still no voice dialing, video recording, copy-and-paste, memory-card slot, Bluetooth stereo audio or phone-to-phone photo sending (MMS)

iPhone Nano

How to have an ‘iPhone’ right now…

Want an Apple iPhone? Want it now? Well, we can’t promise the real thing, but you can whip yourself up an almost perfect facsimile of the highly desirable handset. All you need is a colour printer, some glossy photo paper, a knife, a steel rule and a downloadable iPhone template.

Posted the day after Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ Macworld Expo keynote by the guys at Sneakmove, the downloadable PDF is ready to print, trim and fold into you very own full-size ersatz iPhone. They’ve even included a version that can be edited in Adobe Illustrator, allowing you to change, say, the image on the screen.

Imagine the aghast glances you’ll get strolling down the street, iPhone(y) in hand? Be the envy of major governments.

Sneakmove’s PDF and Illustrator templates can be found here. ®

Thanks to Reg Hardware reader Rob for the tip.

I’m not a big Apple fan as far as previous products go but I’ve always been able to see their appeal and there’s certainly something to be said for their marketing. They’ve been able to take a fairly standard product (such as an MP3 player) and make it more desirable than some better alternatives. Apple have always marketed their products well and there’s always been (in recent years anyway) an undying demand for them – when was the last time you saw a Mac on TV? I bet it was recently seeing as programmes such as CSI have fairly obvious product placement from time to time. So when Apple officially announced the iPhone I decided it was going to be a winning product, and here’s why:

Despite a knee-jerk reaction from the Anti-Apple types I think whatever level of FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) is generated the product will laugh off with epic sales. The iPod is a product owned by the majority of the 15-25 generations (or so my wanders in crowded public places seems to indicate) and I feel that the iPhone is only going to walk in the light provided by its fellow product.

1. Capacity is NOT an issue
It’s been mentioned that the iPod became popular by being able to store all your music and that the iPhone will fall on this point (offering 4-8gb of storage) and I fail to see how this matters on the grounds the majority of iPod sales are generated by the smaller capacity models. The reason for the iPod’s success will be the same as the iPhone’s – because of key marketing methods, attractive design, seamless integration with iTunes and the benefit of being within a popular brand (as a result of the iPod incidently).

2. Interface?
There’s a lot of discussion going around as to whether the interface will be able to succeed where others have failed – by making a complicated device easily usable. You see, what makes me believe that they will manage this is because Apple have always been excellent at UI (user interfaces). Look at Vista and then look at OSX. Look at Windows MCE and then look at FrontRow. Apple have been developing UI ideas that are later found in other applications on other platforms so it has only led me to think that they’re more than capable of a good UI – probably the world leaders in fact.

3. Who would PAY for one? The answer: lots of people
Bill Ray over at The Register noted in his Why the Apple phone will fail, and fail badly article that Apple would be unable to sell the handset for an additional ?300 due to the pressure of competitive products. I cannot see any logic behind this statement beyond the notion of “Apple could shift more if they were offered for free” because personal media sales have shown products such as the 4gb Nano outsell the Ebuyer Value equivalent. Don’t forget that branding is important and there are hundreds of thousands of people looking at the iPhone with lustful eyes. It’s new, it’s fashionable, it’ll work (although for how long is another question altogether) and you know that even if you don’t want the iPhone at launch, Apple will create model after model to cater for your every need. While I don’t want one, I happily paid a few hundred pounds for my last handset because I wanted it and other people will do the same for this phone.

4. Basic consumer economics
This follows from #3. Billy* is 19 and he has a 4gb iPod Nano which he loves to pieces but is a year or two old now. Billy also has a Sony Ericsson walkman phone which has also seen better days but he finds his pockets rather bulged by the numerous devices he needs to carry around. His phone cost him ?100, his Nano cost him ?179 nearly 12 months ago meaning he has spent nearly ?300 on his mobile and personal audio needs within the past 12 months. If the iPhone is going to cost ?330 or so then I fail to see how the numbers don’t add up… Two birds, one stone, another win for the device. *Billy is a fictional character

5. Timing
There have been no major iPod developments for some time to offer any level of innovation to the market. The video iPod is aging and the desire for them has been waning for some time and I can’t help but think that the timing for the iPhone is perfect. The market has needed a solid kick up the rear end for some time and a device as insane as this one should do the trick.

6. Why would people PAY for one?
Similar to #3 but taking a different angle. Who would buy one against lower priced alternatives? Look at the MacBook, the Mac Mini, the iMac… Cheap devices? No, they’re not. Successful? Case and point. Apple don’t do cheap products, they do expensive, high quality ones and everyone understands this. No one buys an Apple product because they were looking for the bare minimum in requirements and that’s yet another reason why the iPhone won’t be subjected to the normal woes of high prices consumer electronics.

7. Long term gains
As with the iPod we should be seeing new versions released incrementally. We should see a 2x increase in memory within the year and more accessories than you could shake a stick at. Prices should drop, quality and options should improve and both of these factors should result in a second wave of sales.

8. Proven track record
Steve Jobs has been doing this for a while and he doesn’t seem to get things wrong terribly often. Look at the Mac, look at the iPod – two products that laid the path for the iPhone – release a powerful product, develop an astonishing mind share and then release more models to cater for the low and high end markets respectively. It’s a tested model that seems to have a 100% success rate with a very proficient man at the helm.

9. Society loves convenience
I’m a big fan of PDA-phones that can do everything I ever wanted them to do and everyone I know who has attempted to live with one has loved the flexibility too and look at the market – phones are doing more and more and I think the iPhone is the next natural step for “mainstream” phones. True items like the Treo have been overly competent for a while but the iPhone is aimed at a different market (although not exclusively). It may offer features that non-techie users didn’t know were available in the mobile phone market and maybe experience increased sales through a lack of education.

10. Linux users…
“Woah” I hear you say, this is NOT an option but I disagree. Linux ran on the iPod and I hope it runs on the iPhone too – imagine the possibilities… If this becomes a reality it could do amazing things for its reputation, mobile computing and the Linux mobile market. This could be a big event if someone gets it to work. Time will tell.

Conclusions
As I said originally, I’m not an Apple fan but I fail to see how the iPhone could fail given the support it has received already and the man (Steve Jobs) who is organising it all. Even if you hate the notion of the iPhone it could create a whole wave of positive movement in the mobile device market – other companies will want in on the action – more smart phones will be made and developed and have their own little price wars and this could result in very good things for the consumer. So chin up, whether you like the iPhone or not, it’s success means good things for the market.

iPhone running Parallels

The iPhone runs on OS X, right? So theoretically, shouldn’t you be able to run IE for Windows XP in Parallels?

iPhone WiFi TV for iPhone videos

C ollectible Concepts Group, Inc. and Wi-Fi TV Inc. jointly announced that Collectible Concepts has become one of the first companies in the world to use video on the new iPhone for commerce. “The Collectible Concepts Wi-Fi TV Station, our global Internet TV station which is distributed on Wi-Fi TV, has now made a promotional video available for download to iPhone, iPod and AppleTV. This is a great new way to bring our licensed sports, military and other collectibles to an ever larger audience, and a way to set Collectible Concepts apart from the competition,” said Paul Lipschutz, President of CCNG. The Collectible Concepts video can be downloaded for the Wi-Fi TV iTunes store.

iPhone WiFi TV

“We are using the Wi-Fi TV platform to take Collectible Concepts to a demographic that is spending more time away from traditional TV and more time on the Internet and on new communication devices like the iPhone. Wi-Fi TV, with its Wi-Fi TV Station program, is helping to take Collectible Concepts where other branded products have not gone before,” Mr. Lipschutz added.
