The Register reports that the iPhone has once again made smiles cross several very large faces. That equals giant smiles for all those who didn’t catch on to the fancy algebra there.

To make it a quick and concise read today, a year ago, Mac OS X won the majority of awards. However, this year, with the introduction of the Application Store, and thereby 50,000 applications and games (check out 3 Monk3y’s!!), the iPhone apps won six awards to the Mac OS X’s five.

Can we say, go iPhone?

This is a rather short entry today, as there really isn’t too much to be said about such news. Ed Colligan has been replaced! Yes, it is true, Palm believes its future now lies in the hands of the man who rode the Palm Pre into battle, Jon Rubinstein, who formerly worked at Apple.Reports show that the new Palm Pre is selling well, however with the announcement of new iPhone, Palm will have its work cut out for them.

Congrats to Jon Rubinstein, and farewell to Ed Colligan!

Today, Monday, June 8th 2009, iPhone 3GS has been released. You thought that was a Terminator movie start didn’t you? It was a faux intro — but the phone has been released.

Let me give you a quick breakdown of its stats pulled from Apples very own website! (I hope you know the link….)

First and foremost, the processing speed and the phones ability to open programs is greatly increased. Some websites are saying around 3.3 times faster (Apples website quotes a more reasonable 2x). I have yet to see any real proof of this, but we will run with it. You can now shoot video! On top of this, you can also edit it. Generally that is most handy when you video tape yourself walking. You know… pocket style. That has happened to other people right? Some more additions are a 3 Megapixel camera with auto focus with the ability to choose the focal point, voice control, a compass for the new age lumberjack, as well as internet tethering. (A quick word to those who wish to unlock on the T-Mobile networking: T-Mobile does not support tethering — they are rather on the fence about it. They don’t say “no” granted. But you’re on your own.) Another note worthy addition is a better battery. Which is generally about 2-6 hours difference depending on which mode the iPhone is in( 2G as compared to 3G) and what you are doing. Let us not forget the new OS 3.0 (But, more on that after I get to fiddle with it.)!

Besides the specs, the new phone is coming in two distinct flavors: a 16GB version for $199, and a 32GB version for $299. Your color choices are also the standard Apple white or black.

Also, for the more frugal minded, AT&T will continue selling the 8GB iPhone G at the new lowered price of $99.

So, if you are still reading this Steve Jobs is asking, “Why have you not left to go buy the new iPhone yet?”

note: oops! the new iPhone 3GS will be available at store on June 19.

So I came across an article showcasing Samsung’s new phone which sports a 12 megapixel camera (It is also the worlds first fully touchscreen phone to have such a feature). Quite impressive right? This brings me to this topic of the evolution of mobile technologies.

Now, this is true for most — if not all industries, but the pressures for consumer demand for specific functions end up, dare I say, designing the phone. Does everyone remember the old cellular phone? I’m talking about the giant, lug it around, commando phone? Well, if you don’t, it remembers you, and is weeping in the corner. This is for a quick illustrative example of course, but the demand for a smaller, more transportable mobile phone influenced companies to produce smaller and smaller technologies. This now includes the internet, access to e-mail and instant messaging services, a calender time, ad nauseum.

So the question I pose to you readers: What new feature do you want on your phone?
