Now that the announcement is over and you can read all about what the new iPhone3G has at tons of sites (like Gizmodo, Engadget, MacRumors or ArsTechnica), the specs of what it DOESN’T have is what sticks in my mind.
- No second forward facing camera
- No native Video Conferencing over iChat or 3G phone-to-phone
- No A2DP Stereo Bluetooth Support (at least not yet)
- No Copy and Paste (at least not yet)
- No MMS (at least not yet)
- No iChat (at least not yet)
- No tethering to Laptops or other devices (use like a broadband modem)
- No upgrade pricing/deals from AT&T (at least not yet) for us iPhone early adopters
We’ll see how this pans out, especially the last bulleted item, when it becomes available on July 11.
UPDATE: Prices for upgrading to the new 3G iPhone? $199 for 8GB and $299 for 16GB with reset 2Yr contract. Yes, that’s the SAME price as it is for new iPhone buyers. I was hoping it would be the same as some European providors who are offering free/cheap upgrades, but I guess AT&T isn’t going that route. *sigh*

Is this the iPhone 2?

Is
this the new iPhone 2? The photos look like they portray iPhones in
Black and (RED) for the fight against AIDS. It also shows Video
iChat over WiFi & video-chat phone2phone over 3G (and the
pre-requisite forward facing camera), Macbook Air style nods, and
stereo speakers in the rear. No word on any Cease and Desist
Takedown notices yet, but if notices do go out, it’s just as good
as Steve coming out and saying they’re real.
Photos were sent to MacRumors, CrunchGear, and AppleInsider (haven’t seen it posted there yet).
UPDATE: Engadget is already calling these fake.... we’ll see. If I remember correctly people were calling the “phatty” ipod Nano fake too, until it actually came out.
UPDATE 2: FAKE FAKE FAKE... now we know.
More photos after the break.

Amazing Music Video via OSX Leopard
Amazing music video created for
The Bird and The Bee song Again
& Again.
I liked it much better than the original music video (check the preview on iTunes here).
UPDATE: There's an interview with the director/film-maker/AdProducer responsible for this viral video, Dennis Liu. Also for those that were wondering, the Actress in the music video is Larkin Clark. Read More...
