Some how, the crafty folks over at iLounge have managed to get hold of/take a photo comparing the current iPhone to iPhone 3G.
From these pictures, you can see how much of a difference the the curvature of the back makes. The un-recessed headphone jack is also very obvious. An althought the black plastic does look an little cheap. It is still overall, IMHO, an equally attractive phone.
Many of us have an old ipod laying around that has gone by the wayside because it broke in one way or another. Others of us absolutely REFUSE to buy a new one and are lugging around that 5GB brick known as the first gen.
Well now, be you cheap or persistent, there is hope for your aging or ailing ipod. Demetrios Leontaris, a.k.a. the “ipod doctor”, is located in New York City and uses his car as his workshop/office. Typically his fee is around 70$ (which begs the question, why not go to the Refurb. store and pick up new ipod for not much more!) and involves a rapid assessment and repair.

Why does everyone seem to hate the 16GB white version of the iPhone 3G?
I think that Johnny Ive and his team that he whips into photoshop mode as he stands by Steve Jobs’ side riding swiftly through the design department of the Apple campus on a glorious Apple branded chariot driven by beautiful white stallions (ok so maybe a little bit of poetic license there) do a fantastic job of making products that, if legal, I know some people would marry for their beauty. The latest installment to the Apple design family is the iPhone 3G. Much similar to the iPhone 1.0, the iPhone 3G has one distinct difference. The back. On the 1.0 model the iPhone had a mostly metal back with a small black plastic bit towards the bottom.
This will probably look familiar to you all but what about the latest 3G iPhone design. The latest iPhone design has 2 different backs. Although the front is almost indistinguishable from the old iPhone the back looks quite different.
The iPhone is held in some households as a god on a dock of solid gold. Or so I have heard. Now their is a new JesusPhone and it is much improved.
Steve Jobs on stage at the WWDC 2008 stage and all ears were tuned to the iPhone frequency. People lay outside bearing arms if Steve let them down but fortunately he did not.
Mr Jobs first celebrated the iPhone EDGE’s birthday. As a loving parent does he boasted about what his baby had accomplished in his first year. 90% customer satisfaction with 98% of people satisfied with the iPhone web browsing.

You may or may not have heard of this service called .Mac and as the rumours predicted it has been renamed, rebranded and slightly changed.
