I stood in line ~7 hours on iPhone 3G day for my shiny new 16 GB iPhone 3G, but forgot all about the pictures of the unboxing. It’s a shame, because I’m sure I was part of a very small group of people who were allowed to leave the store without activating/opening the iPhone.

Since the iTunes 7.7 update was released tonight and since I had nothing else to do, I went around and searched for an application from the iTunes App Store.
Below are screen shots of the applications I’ve already downloaded/purchased (I couldn’t resist buying Super Monkey Ball!) and the general landing page on iTunes.
Now, a list of several iTunes links to the various App Store categories, shamelessly grabbed from MacRumors.

Apple announced the iPhone 3G at WWDC today, and it has everything that I had asked for.
The all-plastic phone is also now available in two colors, glossy black or white. Personally, the black looks very very appealing. There’s no doubt where I’ll be the night of July 11th.
We’ll all have to wait until July 11th to head into a retail store to pick it up. Apple won’t be selling it on their online store, at least not until after the launch.
The July 11th launch will also host the release of iPhone firmware 2.0 and the full SDK.
Update: Here’s an ad for the iPhone 3G.
It’s just under two days until Steve Jobs is set to take the stage at WWDC in San Francisco with an announcement about the new iPhone, and the blogosphere is already on fire with (quite convincing) pictures of the new phone.
The screen shots suggest that the phone will feature video chat/conferencing over AT&T’s 3G network and/or WiFi via an iChat application.
The blurb on the iChat page reads:
Video just became a little more fun. Start a real time video chat with other AT&T subscribers via 3G networking, or with iChat buddies via WiFi. The video calling revolution has begun.
Other notable items include: a front-facing video camera, iChat for Windows, MobileME (the rumored renaming of Apple’s .Mac service), full Exchange support (already announced), Product (RED), and a thinner bezeled border. Also, the choice of colors lends some credence to my earlier posting about AT&T leaking information on an “iPhone Black” on their website last month.
The story was originally broken at CrunchGear (via images on Flickr), however Engadget has some information that suggests the leaked images are fake. Notably the lack of a on/off button on the Product (RED) version and the improper capitalization of Windows XP on the iChat page.
I, along with pretty much every commenter on the CrunchGear and Engadget posts, hope that these are indeed real pictures. We’ll all have to wait until Steve Jobs’ keynote on Monday to know for sure.
I got bored today and finally got around to cleaning up desk/workspace. I did such a good job that a picture was in order.
