What would Shakespeare
do?
To 3G or not to 3G: that is the question.
Whether ’tis nobler after July 11th to suffer
The contracts and entrapments of outrageous carriers,
Or to take arms against locked platforms,
And by jailbreaking end them?
Seriously, though, with a free update to iPhone 2.0 software around the corner for all current iPhone owners and knowing that people have already figured out how to unlock it before its release,
we know that the current iPhone will have many of the features of the
new iPhone 3G *and* will be jailbroken so you that you can run all those free homebrew applications that you already love to run.
The only real difference between the regular iPhone and the iPhone 3G
is speed, GPS, and form-factor and battery improvements. We can already
fake GPS with the wireless triangulation. The battery improvements are
great, but will probably be offset by the increased drain of the faster
3G connection. Also, that connection is going to come with an extra $10
per month cost. Considering how often I’m near WiFi connections, do I
really need a 3G iPhone, even though it’s only $199? Do you? Let me
know what you think in the comments.
Great article, really informative, great site too, will definetly be back for more, thanks =)
