iPhone 3G

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

First time around I was pretty extatic about the iPhone and if I weren’t tied into an existing contract at the time I would have certainly snapped one up. But in hind-sight I’m slightly glad I didn’t, as this new 3G model really ticks the boxes for me, and with its imminent launch (11th July - I wish it could have been sooner :-(), I’ll be grabbing myself one for sure.

Apart from the 3G-ness and the GPS-ness, the thing which strikes me the most is its integration with native apps on the mac…(whoever is using Outlook with the iPhone needs a good shuv up the street)…Aside from that as I’ve said before, I can’t wait to start looking into the SDK and create some funky-ninja-style-battleship-tetris-GPS-hookup-app…..obviously!

Taken a peek?

I found this yesterday and frankly found it astonishing! But apparently there is a secret tunnel that spans under Atlantic Ocean, between London and NYC!

Rather crazy indeed and so the story goes that an artist by the name of Paul St George has recently completed this tunnel; and has opened up an installation that allows the general public to see from one end to the other. He calls this a “device for the suppression of absence” or the Telectroscope.

The piece is on display until the 15th June ‘08. I wonder what they will do with the hole…or the tunnel in fact…

What better way for a company to generate hype, spark mass discussion and market themselves virally than on April fools?

High five to Google.
