iPhone 3G still in stock
So much like last year when the day after the launch you could stroll in to the Apple Store with no wait and still get an iPhone it looks like this year you can too. I checked the availability onlne and the Lenox Square store still shows all three models in stock.
I don’t think I am heading out to upgrade just yet, but it is nice to see that you didn’t have to wait in line for 12 hours unless you just had to have it on Friday.
Most of the Atlanta stores still have them in stock, although some are sold out of specific models (the black 16GB typically). As a side note it seems they take down the availability as the stores begin to open since now the link for the GA stores doesn’t include the info.
New iPhone software delivers
Well I took advantage last night of pulling down the latest firmware and checking out the new features. It delivers on everything and if you don’t mind the EDGE network speed you get a pretty significant update for free.
I was able to connect to my office via ActiveSync and use our Cisco VPN to connect to the internal servers. Now I still don’t care for the touch keyboard but the new features make it worth trying again. I like that the VPN connecting even works over the EDGE network.
I also downloaded a few apps to play with and think opening the platform up will be the key in them taking on RIM. While I love my BB and its keyboard I have always wanted it to do a few more things easily. Letting developers easily get an app on the device will attract a whole new group – possibly including myself if I can get used to touch typing.
