iPhone OS 2.1 Review

I’ve finally upgraded my iPhone 3G to OS 2.1, and I must say, it makes one hell of a difference.

Correction on that.

I guess I am very wrong on when I said that the iPhone 3G will work with the Media Max Unlimited data/text plan in my piece a few weeks back:

The “Let’s Rock” Event

I watched Apple’s “Let’s Rock” event on the Gizmodo liveblog. Looks like we got some new developments in the iPod world. Let’s have a look.

Design of the iPhone

Seeing a recent article on Gizmodo made me think of this.

Many people harsh on the iPhone for whatever reason. Because it lacks features, because it lacks capabilities. It lacks the ability to use MMS. Yeah, whatever.

Of SIM cards and iPhone 3Gs

As I wrote in my previous post, I had time to mess with an iPhone 3G. However, this time, I got some more extensive time to screw with it. This time, I mainly sought out to verify some of the claims floating in the blogosphere, mainly concerning the iPhone 3G and dealing with other SIM cards.

iPhone 3G: Impressions (UPDATED)

Today I got to play with my ex’s iPhone 3G (Yeah, we still talk.)

How was it? Did the features work as advertised? I’ll go over that right now.

Can’t believe I’m saying this

…But it has to be done.

Extreme? Unfortunately, we are. (UPDATED)

So I saw by way of John Gruber’s Daring Fireball that there was an article from the Free Software Foundation going on about how the iPhone 3G is a prison, and pushing the OpenMoko FreeRunner phone as a phone that isn’t so…prison-like.

Let it be said I normally support what the FSF stands for. But this article…sort of sucks.

Be thankful for the iPhone

Okay. It’s time for all of us to sit the hell down and have a little talk about the iPhone.

While many people seem to be saying the iPhone is an overpriced piece of garbage phone, and that it sucks compared to the new Samsung Instinct, I think we all need to sit down and think about it.
