Contract this, contract that, who's gonna make AT&T fat? Me and you, that's who!
Okay, so I upgraded my iPhone 2G with an iPhone 3G the end of last year. Now, I was able to get a decent price and in return, sign up for a new 2-year contract with AT&T. Well, as you already know, the new iPhone 3GS is available for pre-order and will ready at local stores on June 19th. So, silly me, I try to pre-order one online and AT&T gives me this BS about me having to pay $399 for a 16gb iPhone 3GS. Whoa, wait a minute, I wanted the $199 price.
Well, if you have not already heard, if you have not fulfilled most, if not all of, your 2-year contract with your current iPhone then you will not get the subsidized price for the new iPhone 3GS. It is getting pretty had out there with Twitter petitions being signed by well over 13,000 people as of today, AT&T customer service phone lines tied up and even people getting ready to move their ATT number to a new carrier. And folks, the new iPhone 3GS is not even out yet!
I may be happy to settle for my free iPhone 3.0 software update for my current iPhone 3G but on the other hand, I want my new iPhone 3GS darn-it! Well, off I go to sign the Twitter petition and give AT&T another piece of my mind over the phone for another hour-and-a-half. My boss is going to be pissed but guess what, he has the same issue and does not want to fork over the extra $200 just because! HA HA!
I will report back to you by Friday to let you know what happens!
iPhone and iPod users may experience a "small and quick" shock via their earbuds due to a buildup of static electricity, Apple warned Monday.
People listening to one of the devices in extremely dry air are most at risk of receiving a static electricity shock through the ear buds, according to a warning posted on Apple's Web site. The post likened the condition to the discharge that occurs when a person drags his or her feet across a carpet then gets a shock by touching a door knob.
However, Apple asserted that this condition did not necessarily indicate that Apple's equipment was malfunctioning.
"This condition is not limited to Apple hardware and static can potentially build up on almost any hardware and could be discharged using any brand of earbuds," Apple said.
Apple's warning didn't mention what prompted the company to issue the warning, but a discussion thread on the company's support site showed a few users had voiced concern about the condition.
"Maybe it's just me but for a couple of weeks now my earphones are delivering little electric shocks into my ears," wrote one reader. "I just wonder if anyone else is going through this issue."
Our good friend Bwana McCall, from bwana.org and his newest site bwanarama.com, has posted yet another awesome video review of an iPhone Application. This time it is an App called MouthOff. MouthOff is available on the iTunes App Store for $.99. This app basically lets you have some good ol fun mouthing-off to others with a faux mouth on the screen of the iPhone. It has several mouth selections and it goes along with your speech/voice as you talk. Pretty awesome app!
For a buck you can have a blast just like Bwana did in the video below!
If you have been wondering where Microsoft has been for supporting the iPhone then your wait is over. Quickoffice is a new app that for $20 gives you the ability to work with MS Office documents. Quickoffice has been around for many years and is the default office suite found on the infamous Nokia S60 devices. With the upcoming iPhone 3.0 firmware we are sure to see many more apps like this that will have a new update opening up other functions such as copy/paste within the application.
The makers of Quickoffice have clients for Palm, Android and Blackberry devices also.
I know what you are thinking. A new iPhone introduced, a new iPod touch, a Mac Netbook introduced and so on! Well, maybe just a portion of that will happen come June 8th through June 12 when WWDC '09 kicks off at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA.
ATT has already said that they were excited about a new iPhone which should come out at about the same time the new iPhone 3.0 firmware drops in June. Others have speculated over and over about rumors of a new Mac Netbook because other netbooks are just kicking ass when it comes to getting a portable computer while saving enough money to pay your mortgage this month. Yes we are in a recession but does Apple really give a darn? Maybe, Come the week of June 8th we will really know as the last introduction of a new product was something that was reportedly the thinnest but one of the most expensive laptops around. We can't have that Apple!
The registration for WWDC 2009 is open with a discount of $300 off the price which brings it to $1,295. If you wait until April 25 the price will go up to around $1,595. Visit the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2009 website here and get all the updated details and updates as they happen or you can just come back to ipod-addicts.com.

Apple has released exclusive details on the new iPhone 3.0 Firmware/Software update. This is probably one of the most hyped up iPhone updates ever because it includes many of the features that iPhone users and those pre-iPhone-converts have been waiting for ... for a long time now. It has been a long time coming and now a Change is going to come. And no I am not talking about President Obama this time... I am talking about the Apple iPhone people! Version 3.0 or iPhone 3.0 will offer the following:
Search your iPhone
Cut, copy, and paste
Send photos, contacts, audio files, and location via MMS*
Read and compose email and text messages in landscape
And a whole bunch more cool stuff such as turn-by-turn GPS navigation directions via an App.
Man, I cannot wait for this. The SDK / Development Kit is already available to developers. Man, I wish I had more time to do more developing. Maybe I will just to try out iPhone 3.0.
