8 Jun 2009 ~ 4:14pm BustedByFeds I did my hourly Apple.com check and seen that their store said "be back soon" and just knew OH Snap!
Wow!

The Iphone 3G has Sweet new features and kick ASS apps!

Prices- 16gb $199 - W/B & 32gb $299 W/B

Tethering is not currently available in the U.S. (according to Apple)
but the feature will be on this phone/computer, and its based on you carrier.

If you still wanted the previous edition of the Iphone 3G its still available for $99, in the color black.

Also the 13inch Macbook with the aluminum unibody body has been added to the Macbook Pro family and has received a processor upgrade and a price from $1199.
Also the 13 & 15 inch comes with a 7 hour battery life.

And Snow Leopard has received its final tune up and will available September 2009.

This has been Your Apple update with BustedByFeds
8 Jun 2009 ~ 4:31pm Snarkasm 7 hours under SUPER IDEAL EVERYTHING OFF scenarios.

Happy to see the price drops, and Snow Leopard has a very nice upgrade price. Overall, I was pretty underwhelmed, though.
8 Jun 2009 ~ 5:15pm BustedByFeds I don't understand what you mean by underwhelmed?
8 Jun 2009 ~ 5:20pm Snarkasm Pretty much what it means; I wasn't excited or blown away by anything announced. The phone is supposed to be twice as fast, but otherwise it's almost exactly the same as the previous version. It has 7.2MBPS HSDPA, but AT&T still won't let you tether. It has 30FPS camera, which now mostly matches up with all the other smartphones in its class. A 3MP camera isn't exactly leading the class, and it's only a 1MP upgrade from gen 1.

Compass? Woo. Voice controls? Woo. Still no front-facing camera. In the end, it's essentially the same as what they already have out, and there's very little compelling for me to choose it over Android or stick with my current phone.
8 Jun 2009 ~ 5:37pm BuddyJ That pretty much sums it up. I'm pleased with the cheap Snow Leopard upgrade and OS 3.0 for the iPhone. With AT&T's epic nerf of the iPhone 3GtypeRspecVevoIIIVXBlackEditionGT-S, the called-in MacBook updates, and Safari 4 (yawn), they didn't hit this one out of the park. It was a bunt to first that lost in a double play at the next bat.
8 Jun 2009 ~ 5:45pm BlackHawk Oh now a 32GB version while I'm currently screwing around with my library so my music can fit on my 16gb iPhone. FU Apple.
8 Jun 2009 ~ 5:53pm fatcat what, no keyboard.

I'll allow that to slip by considering the touch screen keyboard is pretty much the ultimate fail
8 Jun 2009 ~ 6:27pm BustedByFeds I can't fight preferences its not what I stand for, and I value your opinion even though it disfavors my preferences only because options should be available there not.

But when Apple made that stand to make it Exclusively a touch phone it stands out to me even without a keypad. I don't see apple every adding a keypad
8 Jun 2009 ~ 6:51pm UPSLynx meh.
9 Jun 2009 ~ 4:42am DrLiam Thanks for the update Thrax and BustedByFeds. I'm sure I'll be seeing a lot of these around my University very soon.
