The iPhone Re-Visited or Re-Born?

Posted in Apple, Wireless, iPhone on June 24th, 2009 by Karl Jones

Well, Apple has done it again by releasing its latest iPhone the iPhone 3G S. Powered by the iPhone OS 3.0 operating system, I guess this is supposed to be closer to what the iPhone was intended to be. I have the iPhone 3G, which has served me very well since I bought it as a Christmas Present for myself last year (also because I get no love from Apple or AT&T towards upgrading to the new one until March 2010). But I was glad to get the OS 3.0 upgrade. I mean, come on… upgrades are fun, right?

I guess it depends on who you ask because many folks seem to be losing patience with AT&T and their foot-dragging when it comes to implementing MMS and tethering. The phone can do it, but AT&T allegedly needs to perform a little magic on each individual account. Oh well… I’ll just have to wait I guess.

Chris Brown: Rihanna’s Cool With It

And it looks as though Chris Brown has copped a plea in his assault case that will keep him from serving any jail time. Naturally he’ll be keeping his distance from Rihanna, or else.

As a legal resident of Virginia, it is there he’ll face hard labor (yeah, right), as well as five years probation for felony assault. The cherry on top is enrolling in a counseling program for domestic violence. A violation of his probation would bring up to four years in prison. I imagine he’ll be able to do it standing on his head.
