iPhone 3G Release

Yes, it's that exciting. The iPhone 3G comes out Friday, July 11th, 2008, 8PM and I'm contemplating whether to buy one or not.

Common sense says it would be completely worthless to purchase one at this time. The only changes would just be the Microsoft Exchange (which I wouldn't use), the 3G speed (awesome), and Maps with GPS (totally awesome).

According to Apple.com, the latest software update 2.0, claims that current iPhone owners would be able to have Applications Feature. Actually, it doesn't officially say it specifically, so I'm guessing when I plug in tommorrow to update, the applications feature probably wouldn't work. I guess we'll have to find out.

In all honestly, I can't fathom to have an obselete piece of technology. Actually wait, there's a few things I can live with. My plasmas are still 720p, my PC still runs Windows Windows XP on a Pentium D (not core duo), I still mainly use CS2, and I just barely even updated to Leopard. So okay, I take that back, I'm not down with Vista yet, and I really can't tell the differenc efrom 1080p from 720p. But my beloved iPhone which has been my pride and joy the last year, will now just be a thing of tommorrow once the 3G version comes out.

Its absolutely hurts, and quite frankly, pisses me off that non-iPhone users are jumping on the bandwagon tommorrow and paying a considerable amount less money than I did when the price reduction set last year.

My other complaint is on iTunes, they've recently released the new applications. Usually when dowloading music, it gives me an option checkout prior my card. Unfortunately, I've barely hit input to shopping cart thinking it would go into my shopping cart, but itautomatically downloads!!?? Now I've added about $20 worth of stupid applications I would never really want to pay for anyway. What the hell? Okay, I'm over it, but what if the applications update is only applicable for iPhone 3g, and not for the original iPhone. And why doesn't apple.com list the specifications for both versions?

Well, I know the answer; to entice current users to upgrade anyway. Of course, in this economy I could always save money, pay of debt or attempt to invest. Or, I can stand in line at 8AM at the Mac store. I guess we'll have to see.
