iPhone 3G Blues:
The first weekend of iPhone sales now on the books, and numbers to probably be released, to push more global hype coming soon, what was the launch story! With rumors and conjured stories and false statements galore, what happened, a total system melt down with the iTunes crashing due to, too many 1.0 phones activating and the activation of the 3G during the early hours of 3g-day. Who every thought releasing the iPhone 2.0 software update the same day, probably should re-think their career path and MobileMe is more like not mobile at all right now. As well hopefully we won't see any new iPhone unboxing surfacing on Youtube, the iFixit team did a fantastic job being first.
Did Apple create a global shortage and false sell-out hysteria? It doesn't really matter to us, we have a wait and see approach to buying any new hand-helds or technology equipment. We read the reviews and buyers guides and make sure that our hard earn money makes the best possible purchase it can make.
1st weekend top stories:
Apple's iPhone activation server problems (updated 2x)" ZDNet Blogs: The Apple Core
"'iPocalypse' now: The perils of event marketing" Fortune: Apple 2.0
"Plenty of iPhones at Apple stores on Day 2" Orange County Register
"Apple Bungles its iPhone 3G Launch" Time
"MobileMe Fails to Launch" TidBITS
The iPhone 3G has it's hits and misses, review after review states pro's and con's. It's fairly simple, if you own a 1.0 phone, don't upgrade it now unless you want to get off the EDGE network and surf using 3G on a hefty data package. If you don't own an iPhone and want an iPod, a phone, fantastic wifi and 3G mobile browsing check it out at an Apple Store near you.
