The mobile space continues to heat up. Apple’s iPhone 2.0 fireware update is almost upon us (some tech sites have been given early access to the 2.0 release) based on the fact that there is a new version of iTunes (7.7) that contains the App Store.
In preparation, I have downloaded a few free applications such as AIM, Facebook Mobile, Google Apps Mobile, an iTunes Remote Control for the iPhone, and a WeatherBug application.
Of course, this is all also on the eve of the release of the iPhone 3G (stores open at 8AM tomorrow, 7/11/08) which boasts the increased speed of the AT&T 3G network and GPS.
I’m looking more forward to the public release of the App Store so that I can get away from my jailbroken phone and start utilizing the power of an open development environment. Plus, I remain on the fence about the iPhone 3G and whether the small amount of new features are really worth the increased costs ($15 per month more).
(I’ll probably breakdown and upgrade at some point… just because the EDGE network is that annoying. But, we’ll see!)
UPDATE: Direct download link for iPhone 2.0 software which is now available!
