While the version number is still reading 2.5, some of the screenshots on the App Store are telling a different story. Hopefully, this is an indicator that Facebook 3.0 is on its way later today

Qik for iPhone 3GS has been updated to move that nasty “WiFi only” restriction, meaning you can now stream your videos to the internet over a 3G network. We just tried it ourselves and, sure enough, it works like a charm.via
The Photoframe 1.0. The Photoframe 1.0 is not just an app you can install. It can even be an opportunity for you to earn some money if you are in the right place at the right time.
Photoframe is an app tied up with a news and picture agency. So when you feel like you see a shot worth snapping, take it and then send it over to SWNS which happens to be one of the biggest and most successful news and picture agencies supplying national and global press with their photos and stories.
The app is now available at the iTunes App Store for only $0.99.
A recently announced project codenamed Square is looking to remedy that as it will make use of a magentic-strip reader that plugs into the iPhone’s headphone port. All users of the app need to do is swipe the card, punch in the amount and have the customer sign right on the phone. After the transaction is complete it is geotagged and a receipt is sent via email.
There’s no word on when exactly this will hit the market but when it does it is sure to be very valuable to those who do selling on the go.

With a 3.1″ 16M-color resistive AMOLED touchscreen of 800 x 480 pixel resolution, the Samsung Pixon12 can be easy a rival for any iPhone 3G.Anyway, the 12 megapixel auto focus camera with LED and xenon flash, 28mm (30mm effective) wide-angle variable aperture lens can`t be in competion. Wgat do you think ? Other Pixon12 specification includes TouchWiz 2.0 powered 3.1 inch AMOLED screen ,A-GPS ,TV out 150MB internal memory with support for external cards upto 16GB etc. Camera quality for still images is awesome .But Like its predecessor , Samsung Pixon12 is doesn’t have smartphone capabilities .
Apple has just released Beta 3 of iPhone OS 3.1 for iPhone developers.
Apple is expected to sell half a million of the devices before the weekend is over and sales of the $99 iPhone 3G model are tallied into the mix.More specifically, the analyst points out that the launch of the iPhone 3G last year came alongside a 50% price reduction from the original models, which drove sharp increases in demand.
