iPhone 3G Launch & iPod Touch Firmware Update Almost Available

The iPhone 3G went on sale in the US today. People began getting in line about a week ago, and there has been a great customer response. Aside from the in-store activation which can take 10-12 minutes per phone, and the pricy data plans, people were still insanely enthusiastic about this device. It was probably because of it's very affordable price of $199. I can't get service here, but if I could, I'd definitely consider this as my new phone.

On a side note, when you plug in your iPod Touch, it will tell you that the new update is available, however when you click the link to get it, it does nothing. The iPhone 2.o firmware update actually came out today, my previous post was incorrect. People had found the link to the updated firmware in Apple's xml files, and posted it. I am very excited about the software update, so I can begin playing with the apps on my brother's iPod Touch. I need to get myself one, but I'm still paying off the Mac Mini.
