Another useful option is the Peer to Peer sharing tool that allows you to message and share data from one iPhone to another one via Bluetooth. But there are also loads of other features that allow you to copy and paste photos, spotlight search results, new push feature that tells you when you have been messaged IMs, a voice memo application that allows you record and send audio clips, anti-phishing options and automatic login into email accounts.

The update is free for all iPhone users, while those with an iPod will have to pay $9.95. Get yourself an update to experience the change first hand. It’s amazing. [via Gizmodo]

Rumors were plentiful during the lengthy wait, but it was still great to see the final 3G iPhone, unwrapped in all of its beauty. With thinner edges, a plastic back, sleek headphone jack, and the innovative iPhone 2.0 firmware, Apple has exemplified improvements on many of its formerly criticized aspects.

3G is the most demanded feature of the new iPhone, but so is the connection speed: 2x faster than the old models and Apple says that pages load 36% faster than the N95 and Treo 750 (which have been long considered “very fast”).

The 3G iPhone will be released on July 11th in 22 countries and the company hopes to fill all stores in over 70 countries with the wonder product, in less then a month afte. Did I tell you the price?$199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB version. It should sell great on today’s market, I bet.

At first everybody thought that it was only a stock problem and that both the 8GB and the 16GB models will be available as soon as possible but, rumor has it that the producer is preparing for a big announcement and that is, the 3G iPhone – which we all know, will guarantee faster Internet surfing speeds.

Considering all these, it is very possible that the new 3G version of the iPhone will be presented during Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, this June. Simultaneously, it will be launched with the 1.2 firmware that will make it more compatible with corporate e-mail, a necessary upgrade if they want it to compete with the BlackBerry or the Treo smartphones.

Will keep you posted.

Thougt it has a lot of drawbacks like being locked on AT&T, doesn’t have IM or email support, big and slow, there are at least five reasons why it managed to get so many sales this year and creating a lot of buzz in the cell phones market. The main advantage is of course the design because from the early projects Steve Jobs wanted to make it “beautiful”. It worked out great.

Other reasons are the touchscreen display, works on the OS X platform, the fact that will make other phones better, and thinking in the future (imagine the iPod development so far) we can only think of the ghost of iPhones that should be on the market from now on.  So to be honest, I will cast my vote in.

This is an unconfirmed rumor that is backed up by a leaked advertisement saying that the iPhone will come to Canada by December 7th, on Rogers and will be available for pre-ordering by November 20th. This is a good idea with the iPhone available before the Holidays because I am pretty sure many Canadians would want to have the most desired phone of all times, in their pockets during the New Years Eve when we hit the 2008 mark. The price for the Canadian iPhone will be $499 with a three year data contract.

The fact that the iPhone will be on Rogers was predictable and is almost a sure thing, but I’m not sure if Canadians will get their hands on it by December 7th. This is still under a grey shade, but we’ll get more news soon.

That means there should be no more upgrades and hacks to make the iPhone work in the US with other carriers than AT&T, or in other countries with only one operator, because the business will be really strong to import it from France. So far in my mind the iPhone was the locked cellular phone with a built-in battery that people would do anything to buy even if they like or dislike AT&T and others, so I guess that’s a big slap to those guys because an unlocked iPhone will be available with Orange in France.

I believe that the locked version will be somewhere near €450 (I could be wrong) and the unlocked price will be much higher to disarm those that want one. Though, I still think unlocked sales will flourish as soon as they have it live.
