Ever since the keynote from WWDC last week, the usual slew of news from Apple fan boys & MacMacs has kicked into some serious over drive and it seems you can’t turn around without someone (wrongfully) bitching about AT&T not letting them out of their existing contract (learn to read your contract folks). The time for talk is over with yesterday’s release of iPhone OS 3 being officially released into the wild (review). A few issues being reported around the web, on this end – I forked over the $10 to upgrade my iPod Touch which went flawlessly.
Tomorrow the hardware drops with the iPhone 3G S arriving at AT&T as well as your local Apple stores (at least in the United States). Andy Ihnatko’s just posted his review of the new iPhone here. Not being a biggest fan of crowds, I’ll probably skip tomorrows mad rush and but I’m thinking either over the weekend or possibly monday will be the day I pick up my iPhone 3G S.
It’s a trip watch the keynotes, read the articles and just be bombarded by all the new wiz-bang features in the new device but for me, it really hit home while listening to this week’s episode of MacBreak Weekly when they were discussing the new hardware specs in the 3G S and Alex Lindsay commented about the specs of the system he was using back when he worked at George Lucas’s Industrial Light & Magic doing animation work on Star Wars (Episode 1). The obvious point being we now carry around hardware & software in our iPhones that is literally more powerful than the technology that went into making Star Wars – Damn.
