Apple has released the new Iphone 3G. There is not a lot of difference between the old Iphone and the new one.

IPhone 3GThe new unit is slightly thicker and features a slightly longer battery life. It also sports a built in GPS. This makes the unit more accurate at finding your exact location on a map. The phone also feature 3G Internet access. This feature greatly increases the browsing speed of the phone when not connected to a wifi hotspot. The trouble is that most areas, outside large metropolitan areas, don't have 3G service. In those areas, the phone will revert to using the 2G EDGE network which is much slower. Click here for a list of locations with 3G access.

Both 3G Iphone and the older Iphone run the same 2.0 software which features searchable contacts, advanced scheduling and Exchange connectivity. Apple also introduced MobileMe which is a hosted mail and calendaring service for people who do not use and Exchange server.

All in all, the 3G Iphone is a great unit, but it probably isn't worth trading up unless you live or work in an area that has 3G access.

Microsoft is rumored to be working on the successor to Windows Vista. It is supposed to contain the new multi-touch interface that the Iphone.

This comes on the heals of the troubles that Vista has had. While Steve Ballmer insists that Vista is widely accepted and has no real issues, many companies, like GM, are refusing to adopt it citing major software compatibility issues. Many other users are actually installing Windows XP on their Vista computers in order to escape the troubles that they are having.

Hopefully Windows 7 will bring us better compatibility and function. until then, I am going to stick with Windows XP and Linux.
