Wow, Apple is wasting absolutely no time at all in bringing out the iPhone 3G. I received an e-mail from Apple late last night and it described what was the iPhone 3G tutorial. I check out this tutorial and it shows some pretty interesting things. The first is that it shows the finished iPhone 3G product. I’ll explain my findings. [Read more →]

I have been reading and studying this story for a time now, and I think now is the time to report on it. I have been moved by this, it’s about time that someone did this. People are taking a stand on the super high rates that Apple and it’s partners are imposing on their customers. Now for all of you who watch South Park, you should know this phrase, “Canada is on Strike!”. Yes folks, as of now an estimated 10,000 people are boycotting the iPhone 3G and Rogers/Fido. They do not think that it is fair to pay $60 a month for 3 years! Plus the plan is crap, get a load of this:
*150 minutes
*400MB of data usage
*Unlimited Evenings and Weekends
*75 text messages
*and a system access fee of $6.95 just for using the service.
Note that all of this is PER MONTH! FOR 3 YEARS! That is 1 year more than here in the US. Let me break the 3 year contract down. These are calculations that I have made:
*5,400 minutes (3.75 days worth of minutes for 3 years)
*144,000MB of data (140.625GB per 3 years) (This isn’t too bad)
*2,700 text messages (The average conversation is 20 text messages) (135 conversatons per 3 years)
*$250.20 of system fees. (Just for using their service)
Now tell me that’s fair. It’s not fair people. Now, you may think otherwise but that’s your problem, Here is a link to sign a petition that has been made, they will deliver the petition to Rogers on launch date. So sign it if you think that this isn’t fair. I personally have signed this petition. (You don’t have to live in Canada to sign it) Now, me signing the petition does not accurately reflect the views of Limited Edition iPhone as a whole or it’s readers.

Oh yes people, Apple is wasting no time in switching .Mac to mobileMe. Many users are reporting that their address has been switched from <user>@mac.com to <user>@me.com, this must be due to the final firmware testing that Apple is doing. As reported earlier, Apple was supposed to deliver a disk containing firmware 2.0 “Gold Master” to their top developers by this Friday, so since it is Sunday I am assuming that Apple delivered the goods and is now in the final stages of testing their mobileMe and Exchange abilities.

According to a leaked AT&T memo, Apple and AT&T are going to include MMS (Multi-Media Messaging) with the iPhone 3G and firmware 2.0. Of course, none of this has been confirmed or for that matter, dispelled. Along with this leaked memo, it said that it would be an “add-on” service, (a service that is not included in any plan but, it included for extra cost), it said nothing about what the size limit of each message would be or anything like that. Just a few days until launch, so stay tuned…
