The world has been taken by storm by the new iPhone release. Well, notr all of it is good but there's no doubt the the iPhone 3G has created a lot of buzz. Let me post about recent developments related to the iPhone.Do you love WiFi? I'll bet that you like it more if it's free. Well, At&T is betting on it as the wireless network operator has just announced that iPhone owners will get free access to the nation's largest Wi-Fi hotspot network! Now isn't that a sweet deal.
Apple iPhone owners access music, e-mail and web browsing services in the more than 17,000 hotspots in AT&T's WiFi wireless network. AT&T's hotspots can be found in various airports, hotels, universities, convention centers, sports centers, restaurants, bookstores, and supermarkets. I'm sure you'll have no problem finding one in your area.
This is one probably an effort to encourage more people to get the iPhone. Not that people aren't buying the 3G device. So many people are trying to get their hands on the iPhone that various wireless network operators around the world are running out of units. In fact, Apple recently announced that they have sold a million iPhone 3G just a few days after the new iPhone hit the market.
Apple's App store has also proven to be quite successful. Millions of people have responded to the store and they have downloaded to their hearts content. The Apple App store offers affordable applications and some are ven for free. Some experts say that this store sets Apple's product from it's rivals. With the App store, iPhone users can choose the application they want to have on their handsets.
However, there are also some concerns with the dwindling supplies of the iPhone 3G. There was so much anticipation on a faster iPhone that the supply may not keep up with the demand. Some mobile phone experts predict that the current iPhone shortage may last through mid-August. There were also some who said that Apple's initial estimates was inaccurate because the demand proved to be much larger. This is certainly bad news for those who want to get the iPhone 3G as soon as possible. I think a bit of patience will solve this problem. Apple will eventually be able to produce enough units to satisfy the demand.
There was also some news that AT&T and Apple are testing iPhone device software version 2.0.1,for both the iPhone and iPhone 3G. Apparently, testing began prior to the launch of device software 2.0 and the iPhone 3G on July 11th. The known test users have been located to the San Francisco and Atlanta areas. This device software is expected to released to the public in the near future.
That's it for today. Tune in to this blog for more updates on wireless network operators and mobile phones.
