iPhone & iPhone 3G News

The UK’s Logic3 has recently launched its i-Station25 portable speakers meant to work with Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch. The i-Station 25 includes an accelerometer that will adjust the output of the speakers to output at the correct left and right separation when users turn it 90 degrees to better view photos or videos stored on their connected Apple device. The four built-in speakers deliver a total of 8W RMS of power, and each is sized at nearly 1.6 inches. The buzzing noise heard in speakers right before an incoming call is suppressed with the use of TDMA noise distortion circuitry.

The latest development in mobile advertising is Google’s announcement that they are know displaying AdWords text and image ads on the iPhone, T-Mobile G1, and other smartphones with full-HTML mobile web browsers.

O2 would be offering their UK iPhone 3G customers the option to go pre-paid with the next-generation iPhone 3G. The UK O2 website indicated that the 8GB iPhone 3G would be available for £299.99 (about $600) without contract, while the 16GB iPhone 3G would command a £359.99 (about $700) price-tag for the privilege of using the handset on O2’s pay-as-you-go calling plans.

O2’s “Pay & Go” pre-pay option for the iPhone 3G was even bundled with 6 months of unlimited web browsing and WiFi hotspot access - after which the unlimited data package was apparently priced at just £10.
