iPhone 2.0

Announced today at Apple WWDC in San Diego. The release date will be July 11 and will finally have 3G network support plus GPS and a bunch of other stuff. I think I want one... my mom can have my RAZR V3. Whether I really get one or not will depend on the 3G speed and what service plans AT&T offers with the phone. I can probably give up my iPod too since I never fill the 30GB anyway.


Both black and white models


$299 for 16GB and $199 for 8GB. That's $12.50 per GB... pretty cheap!

Hmm, Apple's website is loading really slow. I think there's probably a bit of interest out there for the iPhone. What's weird is that the iPod touch is still selling for $299 for the 8GB model. Those prices probably need to come down.

test for the Great Firewall of China

Leon? You can get to Blogger from China?

yeah, finally the GreatFirewall is coming down. let's see how long the regime can hold up now that 1.2 billion can get access to your blog

I think there are only 300 million Internet users in China; peasant farmers probably won't have access... nor read English. However, this probably decreases my chances of getting a new visa. :(

i like how you said "only" 300million. ok ok. i stand corrected. the regime should be able to hold on for the next 5~7 years when internet penetration gets over 50%.
