Recently a reporter working for the Los Angeles news station, KTLA, was tasked with covering the release of the iPhone 3G. In covering this story he made the not so wise decision to go up to a guy waiting in line at Burbank’s Apple Store and asks him some “inappropriate” questions.      I have no idea what [...]

Swiss 3G retailers: sold out

Many European iPhone 3G retailers sold out their entire 3G inventory even before retailers in the United States had even opened shop. Not only did this immense tidal wave of 3G purchases surge through retail stores, it also did a number on Apple’s iPhone 3G activation servers, causing them to fail (to a certain extent.) Swisscom’s main [...]

iPhone 3G Dock Images Leaked

A MacRumors forum user by the name of cWeem (who is apparently an AT&T employee) managed to snap some shots of what appear to be the iPhone 3G’s new dock, with his mobile phone. As you can see from these images the new 3G dock sports a curved back as opposed to the more rigid original [...]
