David’s Tech Show

An anonymous insider told Keaton Taylor and I today when the iPhone Software Update will be released tomorrow! I’m not just saying that this is going to be released tomorrow, I’m saying they told us an EXACT TIME!

First, here’s a little background about the iPhone 2.0 software as well as the new iPhone. Basically, the biggest feature of the iPhone 2.0 software is MobileMe. MobileMe has been described as “Exchange for the rest of us.” MobileMe is going to allow to sync EVERYTHING to your iPhone, Mac, and Windows computer! By everything, I mean, your mail, address book, as well as even iCal!

Now, imagine the price you’d think for this service…just take a guess. $250 a year? $500 per year? WRONG! You’re going to be paying a mere $99 per year for all of this PLUS 20 Gigabytes of internet storage! I think that’s an excellent price for that much storage and functionality. What do you think? Leave a comment!

Now that I’ve rambled on about MobileMe, you’re probably going, “well, what else is new?” Two words, “App Store”. The App Store is going to be a centralized location for every app for the iPhone. I know Keaton was telling me the other day, that he was looking for an IRC client for his phone, but had a hard time. Not because it wasn’t out there, but because not everything is in a centralized location to find all of your apps. Not only that, but you’re able to download these apps on the go with the 3G iPhone, as well as the new software updated iPhone. WOW!

Now, for the actual time! The release time is going to be at 8 EST or 5am PST! So, make sure you’re awake by then and you get there before everyone else, because I’m sure their servers are going to get absolutely hammered.

All this plus more, coming July 11th, 2008! Are you getting a new iPhone, or just excited for the software update. What about MobileMe? Any comments, questions, concerns? Leave a comment!
