I began a post yesterday and deleted it because it was about nothing. I know Jerry Seinfield can created a TV show and make millions all about nothing but I’m finding it difficult to finish one post. Where’s the justice in that?
I’m reading all about Apple’s release of the iPhone 3G S and IPhone OS 3.0. It sounds like Apple has moved the bar significantly upward again. There’s one major thing that prevents me from getting an iPhone–the carrier, AT&T! I’ve had AT&T service before and the coverage was spotty at best. This was before 3G was available but I can’t imagine the 3G situation in this area is very good. I use my Cell Phone as my home phone so spotty coverage is a big deal for me.
I did upgrade my iPod Touch to version 3.0 of the new iPhone/iPod Touch OS. I’m just in the process of exploring new features so I don’t have an opinion yet on it. I didn’t have any problems with the upgrade so that’s a good start.
So this is my nothing post for today.

I also will not be getting the iPhone anytime soon. It’s very likely that I have one of the oldest cell phones in town; if my memory is correct the phone has been in service for about seven years now. A few weeks ago I was showing it to some students at the museum and one ask me if it was digital. Wise guy, it’s not that old!
I bought the 3G last fall after losing my old Windows CE based phone on an airplane. It works for me. Nothing is perfect, including us, so I will learn to use it. The new phone does not interest me either. I loved Steve’s comment!
I am replying here on my iPhone 3GS .
.. I have to agree that the biggest weakness is AT&T. However I live in an area where the coverage is pretty strong so I have only had minor issues. We actually filed a tech support ticket because our signals dropped from 4 bars to 2 or 1 at home one week. Within 12 hours of the call I got a text saying the issue was worked on by one of their network engineers. I was back to 4/5 bars at home.
I think the weakness is showing now with the 3.0 that AT&T doesn’t move development along a fast as Apple does.
@Mark: Hey, congratulations on the iPhone 3GS–I not willing to cross over to AT&T for one but that doesn’t mean I don’t have serious gear envy over the iPhones. I’m a shade of green as I write this!
I’m happy you live in an area where you can get decent service and enjoy one.
