Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / ATT Wireless / June 2008New 3G iPhones to be on sale Monday June 9th
Apple is expected to open its long-awaited App Store at the beginning of the Worldwide Developers' Conference next Monday. A source close to the story cited that the online store will launch and be up and running that day with Steve Jobs giving the keynote address at the event. Other reports have only contributed to the fervor. A recent Gizmodo report has stated that the next generation iPhone, which is expected to run on the iPhone 2.0 software, will be released on Monday. The upgraded operating system software is expected to enable the delivery of applications through the App Store. For owners of the current generation of iPhones, the iPhone 2.0 software is anticipated to work with both the current iPhone as well as the long-anticipated 3G version. Another source close to the story cited that the new iPhone will combine GPS and faster networking speeds, thereby allowing for a range of location-specific applications to arrive on the iPhone, putting Apple's handset on par with competing devices. iPhone News <invalid@nospam.net> wrote in news:invalid- 00690B.19000903062008@news.giganews.com: > Apple is expected to open its long-awaited App Store at the beginning > of the Worldwide Developers' Conference next Monday...../zzZZzzz\---___ Would everyone who has been "long awaiting" please raise your hands?......

Real GPS hardware and software will be a killer application for the iPhone, as long as it works when the phone is off-network. There's a lot of back roads where it'd be really nice to have a GPS, but where there is no GSM coverage. I saw that the 1.0 iPhone has been losing market share big time to Palm and Blackberry devices. The new version could reverse this trend. Previously on misc.phone.mobile.iphone, SMS said: > I saw that the 1.0 iPhone has been losing market share big time to Palm > and Blackberry devices. The new version could reverse this trend. Because people (like me) have been waiting for the v2 phone. Though technically, I've been waiting for the app store and the new hardware is just an added bonus. :)  SignatureJeffrey Kaplan www.gordol.org The from userid is killfiled Send personal mail to gordol Peter's Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord, #112.

The new version could reverse this trend. That amazes me. I'd never touch a BB, and my Palm Win Mobile devices were just awful. As a technical person, I was able to tweek the s--t out of them and get them to work well, but I could never see the average user happy with these things. I'm very curious to see what happens with RIM when you can access Enterprise servers with an iPhone. > I'm very curious to see what happens with RIM when you can access > Enterprise servers with an iPhone. My guess isthat very little will change. "access Enterprise servers" <> "BES." Those shops that have decided to use BES for whatever reason still will, and leave the iPhone out. WinMo has offered Exchange access for years and it hasn't threatened RIM's dominance in that market.

Does anyone know if there will be audio/voice driving detail with the GPS on the iPhone like say a TomTom or Garmin GPS device? I ran the demo on the Apple site, and it behaves the same as it runs on my iPhone now. For me, I don't see the advantage of a GPS system for navigation if you have to rely on reading it as you drive. I don't always have someone riding "shotgun" to play navigator for me. It's why I love having the TomTom.

Thank you for reporting this. Unfortunately, it appears that I will be using my first iPhone till it dies (and the TomTom). I wish Apple was offering some sort of rebate or reimbursement like they did for the customers that bought the now defunct 4 GB phone when the 8 GB came out. Not that I didn't know the bigger and faster phones were on the way ... I just would have liked to have gotten more mileage out of mine before it became obsolete. Sigh. Overall though, I must admit that even my "obsolete" * 8 GB model is hands down one of the best phones available. I'm looking forward to the software update and hope that it improves overall efficiency. --Lin In article <705ec606-1e43-4af6-951d-3422ce0b92f8@y22g2000prd.googlegroups.com>, > > it has been reported that TomTom already has software ready for the 3G > > iPhone.

Apple is giving a free upgrade for people who bought the old model iPhone after 27 May, 2008 (I think that's the correct date). Some of the phone companies are also offering upgrade deals for their customers too, so check with your provider if you bought it before Apple's cut-off date. As for mileage, technology is always obsolete even before they officially announce it, but my G3 PowerMac is 10 years old and still going strong :o) ... the original Apple monitor died a few years ago and now my SCSI scanner is kaput. :o( Helpful Harry Hopefully helping harassed humans happily handle handiwork hardships ;o) On Jun 14, 9:45 pm, Helpful Harry <helpful_ha...@nom.de.plume.com> wrote: > As for mileage, technology is always obsolete even before they > officially announce it, but my G3 PowerMac is 10 years old and still > going strong :o) > ... the original Apple monitor died a few years ago and now my SCSI > scanner is kaput. :o( I hear ya!!! The critter I have at home is a G4 Quicksilver from 2001. Just as solid as a rock. Not using an Apple monitor though. Hubby bought me a Dell 24" UltraSharp WFP that is better than the Cinema displays I used at work. Third to half the cost, too. Then the darling man bought me a new video card for my birthday. I do a lot of Photoshop work, so the display and video upgrades made a huge difference. I may upgrade the processor later on, but right now she is rocking and rolling. Would you suggest I get the AppleCare on my iPhone and bluetooth set? I've had only one instance in all my 15 years of Mac use that I had to deal with Apple on a hardware issue. It was on a new, G5 system with a dual-core processor. They ended up gutting the thing to the tune of nearly $1,700 and I was happy that it was still under warranty. Sang like a bird after that. --Lin In article <323f54fb-6263-4394-9608-2fd69abb8356@d19g2000prm.googlegroups.com>, > On Jun 14, 9:45 pm, Helpful Harry <helpful_ha...@nom.de.plume.com> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > nearly $1,700 and I was happy that it was still under warranty. Sang > like a bird after that. Sorry for not replying. My hopeless Internet provider killed off my Internet access, taking FAR too long to fix the problem (it's only just started working again today!) ... bad news is that this provider was taken over by Vodafone, the same people bringing the iPhone to New Zealand. :o\ I've never bothered with AppleCare and rarely seen a problem occur after the normal warranty period has finished ... but having said that, no doubt many problems will start turning up. I guess it depends on how quickly you replace your hardware and how clumsy you are in the case of portables. ;o) Helpful Harry Hopefully helping harassed humans happily handle handiwork hardships ;o) >> it has been reported that TomTom already has software ready for the >> 3G iPhone. > > Not that I didn't know the bigger and faster phones were on the > way ...

Know when you buy a technological device that it will be obsolete before anyone's gotten enough "mileage" out of it and you'll be happier in life! ;-) New phones will be cheaper but the caveat is that you have to pay $10 more per month ($30) for 3g and it looks like you have to activate it in the store so goodbye to unlocking for use on other services.

They will come as a prepaid option here in Australia with 3 different companies selling them so should be unlocked. Also if you are contracted to a plan here you can move afterwards - number portability is the law - they cant tie you to a single carrier. Anyway I got my iphone in the USA in April - my $399 looks a little expensive now...... Nigel |
