My Stance on iPhone 3G

The iPhone 3G was announced at WWDC 2008 this year in June and was released on July the 11th internationally. I have an iPhone 2G yet I had no intention on ever getting a 3G. I felt as though that the classic saying stands true "Nothing beats the original". True it does have faster data, but until that data actually is everywhere in Mississippi, I'm not getting one but maybe I will with the next generation. Who knows what Apple will reveal. Its Apple. You can't predict what they are going to reveal to the public.

How To Create Your Own Multitouch Trackpad for under $20

(all credit goes to Seth Sandler for this concept)

Okay so you want to make your own $20 track pad. 

You will need:

A cardboard box (Any size will do. The bigger the box the bigger the trackpad.), a piece of glass (acrylic, plexiglass, just as long as it's see through), a web cam, and a piece of paper.

How to make it:

Take the box and cut a hole in the side to where the camera cord will go. Insert the usb cord through the box to the outside of the box leaving the camera inside the box. Mount the camera face up directly in the center of the box with some tape. Put the glass on top of the box, and then the paper to cover up the glass. The camera detects the shadow your fingers make when you touch the paper. Download the software you need here. Follow the guide included and you will be set. Enjoy you're multitouch trackpad.

iPhone 2.0 Software

With the new iPhone 2.0 software coming in less than a week away on July the 11th, I'm real excited about all the new features. Sure I love the new enterprise features in 2.0, but that's not the real reason I'm so excited. It's all because of the App Store. This is Apple's way of letting 3rd party developers get into the iPhone's main OS and really take advantage of the ground features. This compared to web apps just blows the web apps out of the water. Period. I can't wait for July 11th.
