My wife loves to remind me of the day that the iPhone was released. I had come up with a list of reasons why I would not get an iPhone. Thankfully, I have one now. I admit it… I’m an addict. It has its shortcomings, yes. But I still absolutely love it. I wanted to share this top five list with all of you that was sent in my Lamb0. It’s different from any iPhone top five I’ve done before. He feels that Apple isn’t the only one to blame for the shortcomings of the iPhone… he places much blame on AT&T, as well.

If you’ve always wanted to take macro shots with your iPhone 3G, you want the Griffin Clarifi. Here’s the original upload for best comparison purposes.

Like anyone else who tunes into my live streaming life, Mr. Staggs knows that I am addicted to my iPhone. He personally has an iPod Touch, using the new 2.0 operating system software. During his transition to 2.0, he has come across some highs and lows that many people would not notice. He sent in his list of top three ‘good’ features, and the top three ‘bad’ ones, as well.

The Media is clueless on what 3G means. Some news reporters claim that “the three-gigabyte iPhone” was released. Some report that it’s the 3rd Generation iPhone. Ugh. I asked people over at Friendfeed just what exactly they think 3G means. The answers are interesting, for sure.

What tool do you use to benchmark your Internet connection speed? If you’re on a desktop, I know many of you use SpeedTest. But what about your mobile web experience? If you’re on an Edge connection, are you getting true Edge speeds? What about if you’re on a 3G connection, or even wifi?

Yesterday, I was hoping to find an iPhone 3G (duh). I drove past the local AT&T store a few times and always found quite a line. Decided I’d wait until it died down before going in. “Surely,” I thought. “The Apple Stores would be 100x as busy on a day like today.”

I don’t think I’ll be standing in line for the release of the iPhone 3G, although I will be getting one. I do access the Internet frequently from my first gen iPhone, and here in Seattle we have the 3G Network. It will be worth it for me to have one. But overall, for the majority of people, is it worth shelling out money to upgrade?

The keynote for Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference has come and gone. I can’t say that all of my expectations were met, but I can say this:

• iPhone 3G should be a “no brainer” upgrade from the current iPhone. Not only will it be substantially cheaper, but substantially faster as well. As Boing Boing points out, there’s a gotcha with the price point of iPhone 3G – the unit itself may be cheaper ($199 versus $399), but the new data plan is more expensive than today’s ($30 – $45 for 3G versus $20 for EDGE). It’s not quite a wash, as you pay for service indefinitely.

I’m a member of the Sprint Ambassador program, which means they’ve supplied me with test equipment in the past. A few weeks ago, I received an UpStage in the mail – and couldn’t wait to give ‘er a whirl. I have yet to try downloading any kind of content with the device, although that’s a huge selling point for users who appreciate convenience.
