Oh, snap…? AT&T has responded to Verizon's snarky iPhone 4 ad, in which the "can you hear me now?" guy says yes, now he can hear you, on Verizon's network, with one big yawner of an ad.
After a global launch that saw the iPhone 4 land in Japan, Germany, France, and the U.K., U.S. customers had their chance to get their hands on Apple's newest smartphone Thursday morning. And, despite early shipment to some customers and limited iPhone supplies, the crowds still turned up at Apple Stores across the country for the iPhone 4's official release.
The more Verizon and AT&T trade unseasonal greetings over their respective 3G networks, the more collateral damage seems to be inflicted on the iPhone.
I really hate to admit this, and it's the fault of one of my employees, Joe Wright, a true iPhone lover. Two weeks ago, I went back to the iPhone. Yes, I got a brand spankin' new iPhone 3Gs with 16 GB of storage. I thought about getting the 32GB but figured it would just cause me to buy more music and install more applications.
The iPhone 3G and the new 3G S mobile phones are slick devices that are very popular. They both have integrated GPS capabilities, but Apple really didn't go all out to take advantage of the navigation capabilities of the device.
It has been a crazy night trying to download the latest iPhone update, with many reporting that they are unable to access Apple's servers due to unusually high traffic. But Apple's servers are now up to scratch and everybody should have the 3.0 software update installed on their iPhone and iPod Touch.
Reader Dan says he was walking home last night and got robbed at gunpoint, losing his iPhone, which he only got five days ago, in the process. He asks, "Any tips from you or readers? Can it be tracked using the onboard gps? This STINKS!"
I thought we were done with big phone announcements for the year, but it looks like Nokia had one last trick up its sleeves. Behold the N97, a sleek new touchscreen handset with 3G data access, a slide-out QWERTY keypad, customizable widgets, and more.
As a self-confessed Apple fan boy, I own an original 2G model - such as was my impatience in waiting forever for it to arrive in Australia (like every other bit of technology of course).
