If you’re reading this on anything other than a mobile phone, chances are you’ve missed out on the launch of the iPhone 3G S. Stores like Apple and Best Buy opened early to handle pre-order demand whilst anyone who didn’t pre-order is probably crying at the checkout counter. PC World got some unboxing pics. Nothing really exciting, especially if you’ve ever owned a 3G. But hey, with faster hardware and better software, the iPhone 3G S is the premiere piece of hardware to own.

A freshly released Apple patent reveals that even though Apple isn’t saying much about the future of the iPhone, they’ve still got plenty of ideas up their sleeves over at Cupertino. The new patent reveals a tweaked UI which adjusts even further to assist the user’s needs, altering logo and interface-element sizes when you’re focus might be somewhere other than your phone. But the big news here is the appearance of a front-facing camera. What does this mean for the average iPhone user? We see video conferencing in your future (or at least just plain old video capability, if nothing else).

Video has been a long-rumored and desired feature on the iPhone. The front-facing camera at least proves that Apple is toying with the idea.

Wow. What happened? Is everyone OK? Let’s take a minute and figure out what went down this morning:

Apple takes webstore down

Apple puts webstore back up with new iPod Shuffle

New device features minimalist design, no controls on device

You must use Apple headphones with the Shuffle in order to control the music

4GB capacity, $79 price tag

VoiceOver technology tells you track information over your headphones

I’m really not sure what to make of this. The player itself is absolutely fucking tiny. Like, just too tiny. And the control scheme being integrated into the headphones? Ouch. Bad idea, Apple. However, 4GB for $79 remains a decent buy, even in this economy. Are you gonna buy one?

Those shady motherfuckers at Apple decided to mention a Mac Pro update an hour after I caught the original update on the iMac and Mac Mini. The new Mac Pros cost $300 less than before, feature new Intel “Nehalem” Xeon CPUs (read: hella fuckin’ fast) and better graphics cards standard. Some bullshit about DDR3 RAM and that about sums it up. Sorry, but I really doubt anyone can afford one of these right now. If you can, however, let us know how it runs.

Better hurry! Our ongoing contest ends December 31st and we’re not playing. Get over to the official post to see the rules and how to enter.

It’s pretty obvious that our readers either don’t want certain prizes or just need a little more time to enter. Thus, I’ve decided to extend the contest on our Road Mice until December 31st, 2008. Come the new year, two new people will have beautiful new mice. If you haven’t entered yet, what are you waiting for? Get on it!

Living in New York, it’s quite frustrating when you just miss a train and are forced to wait for 25 minutes until the next one shows up. The latest iPhone update apparently can tell you when the next train departs when you use Google Maps. This is a really neat feature that I praise Google for doing. The real question is, will this feature hit the T-Mobile G1 anytime soon?
