I'll keep this short and simple. At the release date of the new iPhone 3G the waiting lines for it were like long to Mars and back. But it turned out that cause of the poor network connection and the easy-breakable plastic people didn't wanted to buy the new iPhone. So the people at Apple payed other people to wait in lines all over the world, as if the iPhone is the best thing in the world right now. In Poland the Organge mobile operator payed people to wait in lines in front of their shops. So I guess if the iPhone is the best phone out there as they say, why people don't wanna buy it? You know what they say, ever lie has its end. Maybe Apple will make an hardware update on the iPhone3G, but Im not convinced that they will.

Ladies and Gents, They present the new iPhone 3G
|
Got this by an email from Apple and I thought I'd share it with you even tho most of you all ready know about it. So its been a long time since Apple first made the announcement about the new iPhone and know they finally got the iPhone 3G on the market. Its new in many ways, like the slimier edges, the whole back is made of plastic, flush headphone jack, and the iPhone 2.0 firmware. Obviously 3G is at the forefront, but they're also making sure it's available all over internationally, works with enterprises, runs 3rd party apps... and does it all for cheaper. Apple said that the 3G i way way more faster in page loading, to be exact 36% faster than the N95 and some other new phones.
Battery life isn't getting put out to pasture though, with 300 hours of standby, 8-10 hours of 2G talk, 5 hours of 3G talk, 7 hours of video and 24 hours of audio. Theres also GPS. Apple is using A-GPS, which supplements regular satellite GPS data with info from cellular towers for faster location. (WiFi data is also worked into the mix, which should give users a pretty solid lock on where the heck they are on this planet if they get lost.) Unfortunately, as expected there's no front-facing cam, and while its edges are thinner than before it's still about a millimeter thicker at the center (12.3mm over 11.6mm before). Apple launched the 3G in 70 countries I think with a price going from 199$ to 300$, but I was just to lazy so see the exact prices on the iPhone 3G, so I guess you'll have to find them :)

Hard Core ROKR
|
This time I'm going to write about the hard core ROKR E8 from Motorola, its not a brand new cell phone, its been out there for about 2 monts?, but any ways it looked nice so I'll try to bring up some info on it for all you wannabuy-a-newphone guys . After an almost ending carrier, Motorola is up n'trying to get back on the market with the new ROKR E8 which is supposed to reach the same fame and glory as the RAZR, well that's at least what the team from Motorola is hoping for :) The new phone is using the MakeShift technology, which allows you see only the needed key on the keyboard, let say if you're listening to music you're only going to see the keys like play, pause, fast forward, rewind and nothing more then the necessary which pretty much makes it a simple phone. When the phone is not active or is shut down, you don't see any keys, because the keyboard is virtual so the surface where the key board is supposed to be becomes smooth, but when you activate the phone the keys are visible again, and by hitting the music button you only see the keys that I mentioned before. While we're going trough the keys, Id like to mention that there is one fastscroll key, which allows you, as the name says of course, scroll fast trough the files that you have one the phone. The screen isn't that big, but still its satisfying (TFT 320 x 240 pixels, 2.0 inches, 256K colors). It has 2 GB internal user memory, which can be powered up by a MicroSD memory card, holding up to 2 GB i think. It looks like a nice phone, but we'll have to wait and see, at least I :) Oh I forgot to write something about the keyboard, as you all ready figured it out the most important part of the phone :), its not like the standard touch keypads, its sensitive to vibrations and motions so its like pressing a real keyboard. That's it for this phone, now we just gotta sit back relax and wait to see if Motorola made a right move with the hard core rocker.

Aint people crazy?!
|
I just had to write about this. In my life I have seen some really stupid things, but almost nothing compares to this. I cant imagine any one or any thing being more stupid than this. The Italians government has gone crazy. In Forte Dei Marmi your only allowed to mow your lawn in the weekends. On the other side in Eboli if you kiss in your car and the cops see you, you'll just have to pay 500euros, and I though kissing was healthy :) , and in Eraclea if you decide to make a send castle on the beatch you'll have to pay 250euros, God damn it ain't like the sand is made of gold. If you decide to mountaineer in Italy and you get the feeling like you wanna eat some mushrooms, please don't collect any from Alto cause again you'll have to pay, but this time 113euros. In Capri you cant leave the beach only dressed in you bikini (this applies to the ladies and some fellas who like to wear one, lol) and also you cant feed the pigeons except in Saturday, I gotta question about this, do you guys keep them on diet or something? And the latest bizarre rule in the never ending list of them is that the Italian government forbid the Chinese girls to give massages to the people who need them, but this only applies at the beaches. I mean how more stupid and bizzare can you get? If you have any more rules from this kind please share them :)
