This Totoro kit is recently acquired when traveling to Japan, growing the seeds provided in the kit.
There are review / comments about how bad the 3G reception of iPhone 3G is all over the net. This iPhone 3G antenna test pointed out someting different though. iPhone 3G is simply as good (or bad) as Nokia N73 or Sony Ericsson P1.
Could this be ture that the entire iPod line gets refresh in the next 2-3 weeks at all? It’s not yet the holiday seasons but we all know that this is clearance period before school begins again in September.
Kevin Ross has posted a photo & video of the next iPod. A much taller form than the current one.
Latest rumors:
- Revamp of entire iPod line.
- Small cosmetic changes to Touch, Nano to see significant redesign (see pic below).
- iPods to see fairly large price drops to distance itself from the $199 iPhone.
- iPod touch 2.1 software, iPhone to get update very soon after.
- iTunes 8.0 (”it’s a big update w/new features”).
- All of this coming in the next 2-3 weeks.
Yes, iPhone Dev Team has just released Pwnage 2.0. One thing it doesn’t do for your iPhone is to unlock the 3G network. It works for all iPhone, iPod Touch, iPhone 3G with 2.0 firmware.
This ad is not from Apple though. Hilarious!!!
With iPhone 3G launched globally, what’s your verdict of the final product?
There’s story reported in a local newspaper about how bad the battery is when GPS (the prime suspect), email, 3G, bluetooth, etc all running at the same time will drain the battery within ONE hour!!! But that’s tested before the actual launch. My question is will the final consumer product’s battery life be extended?
And what about its performance? Voice mail working good with 3 HK? Try anything from App Store yet?
Definitely like to know more before I get one.
This is an interesting news. Intel recommends thier employees NOT to upgrade to Windows Vista.
Intel, the giant chip maker and longtime partner of Microsoft, has decided against upgrading the computers of its own 80,000 employees to Microsoft’s Vista operating system, a person with direct knowledge of the company’s plans said.
According to this forum, Apple will be using the cheaper iPod Touch’s display (480×320 @163dpi) for the upcoming iPhone 3G (480×320 @163dpi) in order to lower the iPhone 3G’s price. Many users and web sites have pointed out the iPod Touch’s display is much worse than the iPhone 2G’s (480×320 @160dpi).
I was once told by a wise man that the truth of many electric consumer products. The first generation is always built with higher quality materials in order to attract potential consumers with its wow effects. Second generation onwards, the material quality goes down as the product itself will get cheaper. On the way of each iterations, it gets some functionalities upgrades, downgrades, and / or cheaper.
In general, when a product reaches its fifth generation, its price and functionalities is best for money at consumer point of view. This holds true for iPod. The 5G is the first iPod with video and it was much affroadable.
But mobile phone market is quite different. I haven’t seen any real break through until iPhone came along which is 10+ years later since the not so mobile Motorola mobile phone introduced. Anyway, if iPhone did reach its 5th generation, the price & functions would be great value for money.
Apparently you can get your iPhone 3G for just from T-Mobile in Germany. TUAW posted the T-Mobile rate plans for 24 months!! You can get your 8GB or 16GB iPhone 3G for just €1 and €19.95 respectively when you join the most expensive plan.
I wonder if 3 HK will give out free iPhone with a 2 year contract……
Looking forward to having other operators releasing iPhone 3G locally since 3 HK doesn’t sound like having an exclusive deal for iPhone 3G.
