iPhone 3G: it’s here
Ah, yes! The moment you’ve all been waiting for - iPhone 3G is hitting the streets Friday. For me, it’s about time to get one. The other day it finally happened - a potential customer said to me: “My Web site doesn’t look quite right on my iPhone”.
Time to experience the ins and outs first hand.
Mobile and location-based computing is becoming ever more popular, and with Apple’s App Store throwing open its doors this morning I’m sure we’ll see an explosion of creativity as third-party developers rush to build cool applications for iPhone users.
On the other hand, those of us in Portland, Maine have to remember not to get too worked up about 3G - because we won’t have it. AT&T’s 3G network doesn’t extend into our neck of the woods (AT&T coverage map). The new iPhone also supposedly drinks battery juice more quickly.
Still, at half the price of the original iPhone ($199 vs. $399), and with all the possibilities for mobile application development, it’s time to dive into the pool.
