The iPhone 3GS is hot according to AT&T. No, I'm not talking about the overheating issues, but a alleged leaked memo from the iPhone's exclusive U.S. carrier. In the memo, AT&T reports the iPhone 3GS launch day on June 6 was the best-ever sales day for AT&T retail stores, according to MacDaily News.
Apple's popular smartphone, the iPhone 3GS, is prone to mishandling and subsequent cracks in the screen. Apple is making it easier to fix the screen now by adding an in-store repair service.
For hardcore gamers, the iPhone hasn't had much to offer. The games are mostly light-hearted, casual games that you play when you need a short distraction. They're also a big compromise compared to what you can play on traditional game platforms.
The iPhone needs biometric fingerprint recognition. Instead of requiring you to enter a passcode to secure your data, the iPhone should be able to recognize you by your fingerprint.

Currently, the prices for paid applications in the Apple App Store are highly fluctuating. Developers seem to be in search for the best pricepoint for their application and experiment to find out what works best.
The content in the Apple App Store is also very country specific. We made an overview of the total price of the 100 most popular paid applications in a selection of countries:
Price of the total top 100, per country
Total price of the paid top 100, per country
* based on daily exchange rate
There are large differences between countries. In Europe, the top 100 total price varies from €199 in Greece, up to €252 in Portugal. A difference of over 25%. The United States price is even lower, but greatly affected by the Dollar - Euro exchange rate.
The content of the App Store varies per country; not the same applications find their way into the top listings in different countries. This has a big impact on the total price of the apps per country app store. We will keep track of these developments. More detailed info on country specific developments is available in our monthly Distimo Report.

The iPhone 3GS has been an undeniable marketplace hit since its release on June 19, and will likely continue to soar in sales despite three customer complaints that have surfaced recently. The big three gripes: the iPhone 3GS battery life is dismal, the 3GS overheats, and there's a serious SMS vulnerability.
Apple's notification system for the iPhone won't work on devices that have been unlocked to run on different networks, much to the annoyance of developers who are being left to explain the situation to customers.
