Did you know there‘s a new release of the iPhone software? I didn‘t until today. The Un-Official Apple Website is one way to keep up. You can also look at iTunes when you sync your iPhone and check manually, since it checks for you every so often.
Another thing I discovered today while watching a 3G iPhone perform as fast on 3g as wireless is that you can get a 3g iPhone for a lower upgrade price once you‘ve had your original iPhone a year. It‘ll still cost $200 or so. And, it‘ll cost $10/mo extra for 3G and $5 for the text messages. Check with ATT for specifics. Don‘t shoot the messenger.
Cool iPhone apps: number one is cooliris, which "transforms your browser into a lightning fast cinematic way to discover the web." It lets you do a search and returns the results visually. You gotta try it yourself! It also works on the desktop.
ZiiBii: "Floats data up to your iPhone" They describe their GUI as a "river" which is an embodiment of Dave Winer's River of News! Nice.
Trace is a game you create yourself, as you go along. "It's like Line Rider meets Super Mario Brothers, has great music and a lot of clever features." Click here to see a video (I couldn't embed 
OpenTable lets you make restaurant reservations online.
Freeway is a tool kit to build iPhone-specific website presentation.
And, of course, there's an Alpine (and who know what other brands?) radio available that you can plug in the iPhone, iTouch, iPod, etc and display/play playlists and media on the radio headset. So nice. And, the iPhone charges while it's plugged in. It just keeps getting better and better...
Thanks to Chris Wasser for the heads up on this stuff...and, for the ride in his Lotus Elise at lunch today...nearly green since it gets such good MPG. Click the image to die of envy at an even better photo.
