3g.jpgEveryone knows the 3G iPhone is coming, the question is how soon? The answer may be sooner than we think.

According to the Huffington Post Apple has yet to restock their stores in New York City with the current 2G iPhone. All three NYC Apple stores are now “out of stock.”

There has been some speculation that the new 3G will be coming in June, yet it is only March and with three more months till June is it possible we may be seeing the 3G iPhone a little sooner?

Guess we’ll have to check back on NYC to see if it is just an error that they are “sold out” of the old ones. Otherwise hold on to your horses folks the rumor of the new 3G iPhone may just become factual sooner than later.

iPhone Becomes Business Savvy

email_1.jpgThe iPhone is getting better and better. Not only has Gartner, a world’s leading information technology research and advisory company labeled it ready for business use, along the same lines as the Blackberry, Windows mobile and Symbian Series 60 devices with the upcoming firmware 2.0 release, but soon you will also be able to conduct 2-way video conferencing.

Gartner had previously deemed the iPhone unfit for business use but points out three features in the 2.0 that will bring it up to business speed. First is the access to corporate Microsoft Exchange email servers, second is the secure Virtual Private Network links for the office and third is that users can connect to secure corporate wireless networks in the office.

This will allow “enterprises to develop local code and create applications that do not depend on network capabilities,” says Gartner’s Ken Dulaney. “Expansion of the iPhone into the enterprise could mean that Apple will become a mainstream supplier of client platform development tools. This could mean that other Apple products begin to appeal to end users.

The much lauded player will soon be available for the iPhone and the Touch. The BBC will begin transcoding their shows into MPED-4-based H.264. They also have Adobe’s Flash system but are considering dropping it altogether for the higher compressed, higher quality streams of the H.264.

“We have seen good and consistent growth in the daily consumption of programming and it doesn’t look to be in any way plateauing,” said Ashley Highfield, the director of future media and technology at the BBC. Last week the number of shows watched reached over 500,000 in one day.
