I’m sad to report that all iPhones with 3rd party apps, jail-broken, unlocked, or not, voids the warranty, and the newest update for the iPhone 1.1.1 bricks any iPhone with 3rd party apps.
Apple, which seems to be having a LOT of problems for the past few days, has admitted that it’s new iPod touch screens have some faults. It really has trouble displaying dark images, and publications have included it into their reviews, such as The Wall Street Journal. Call Apple Support now, demand a replacement, and you just might get it.

CNET has made a Quick Tips video for collecting your $100 store credit. Steve Jobs still owes you $100 more, but you might as well get your credit. Watch Here
“Their plans centre on a branded Google phone, which would probably also carry Orange’s logo. The device would not be revolutionary: manufactured by HTC, a Taiwanese firm specialising in smart phones and Personal Data Assistants (PDAs), it might have a screen similar to a video iPod. But it would have built-in Google software which would dramatically improve on the slow and cumbersome experience of surfing the web from a mobile hands”
After seeing the HTC Touch, which used a touch screen interface for Windows Mobile, who knows what HTC and Google could make? If it’s under $300, I may buy it. It could even come as an unlocked phone, and thousands would buy it! Even I would buy it! With all of Google’s great apps, I wouldn’t know which phone to buy, the Google phone or the iPhone.
Apple Press Release, September 10, 2007:
Yesterday, just 74 days after its introduction on June 29, Apple sold the one millionth iPhone. “One million iPhones in 74 days—it took almost two years to achieve this milestone with iPod,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We can’t wait to get this revolutionary product into the hands of even more customers this holiday season.”
To all iPhone customers:
I have received hundreds of emails from iPhone customers who are upset about Apple dropping the price of iPhone by $200 two months after it went on sale. After reading every one of these emails, I have some observations and conclusions.
First, I am sure that we are making the correct decision to lower the price of the 8GB iPhone from $599 to $399, and that now is the right time to do it. iPhone is a breakthrough product, and we have the chance to ‘go for it’ this holiday season. iPhone is so far ahead of the competition, and now it will be affordable by even more customers. It benefits both Apple and every iPhone user to get as many new customers as possible in the iPhone ‘tent’. We strongly believe the $399 price will help us do just that this holiday season.
Second, being in technology for 30+ years I can attest to the fact that the technology road is bumpy. There is always change and improvement, and there is always someone who bought a product before a particular cutoff date and misses the new price or the new operating system or the new whatever. This is life in the technology lane. If you always wait for the next price cut or to buy the new improved model, you’ll never buy any technology product because there is always something better and less expensive on the horizon. The good news is that if you buy products from companies that support them well, like Apple tries to do, you will receive years of useful and satisfying service from them even as newer models are introduced.
Third, even though we are making the right decision to lower the price of iPhone, and even though the technology road is bumpy, we need to do a better job taking care of our early iPhone customers as we aggressively go after new ones with a lower price. Our early customers trusted us, and we must live up to that trust with our actions in moments like these.
Therefore, we have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store. Details are still being worked out and will be posted on Apple’s website next week. Stay tuned.
We want to do the right thing for our valued iPhone customers. We apologize for disappointing some of you, and we are doing our best to live up to your high expectations of Apple.
Steve Jobs
Apple CEO
Steve is sorry, and you iPhone early adopters can get $100 credit at the Apple Store. Should be $200, but what you get is what you get. However, if you bought your iPhone is the past 30 days from September 5, you can still get your money bac. Rush to the Apple Store now.
3 words when I got back from school today and went to apple.com. Oh. My. Gosh. Those iPod nano photos a few days ago were Real! The iPod Touch is what I dreamed for. An iPhone without a phone, with WiFi and built-in iTunes store, so you can download on the go. But enough talk, here’s some photos.
iPod Touch can play videos, music, photos, download from iTunes, go to YouTube, and, get this, Surf the Web on Safari! Yes! It’s basically the poor man’s iPhone. And Yes, the 8GB iPhone
is now $399. The iPod Shuffle has a few new colors, the nano has video, the iPod Classic is the Metal, 80GB or 160GB, thinner 5G iPod. The iPod Touch, incredible. I’m getting an iPod Touch sometime soon. Please consider the new Product(Red) iPod shuffle and nanos, which, when you buy them, Apple will donate to fight diseases in Africa. Sorry I can’t give live coverage during the school year, but I’ll try my best to bring you the content. EDIT: Forgot to give you the memory for the iPod nano and Touch. Nanos are 4 and 8GB, Touch is 8 and 16. Also, as you guessed, all available today from the Apple Store Online. Available worldwide in a few days. Order today, and enjoy your new iPod. iPhone got the software update for the iTunes Wi-Fi store.
