Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Note the redesign of the iPhone 3G's headphones
jack, removing the recessing so the phone can be used with standard
headphones.
Now the headphone socket problem is fixed, so that you can use your
favourite headphones without an adaptor, you really do wonder why Apple
bothered with the recessed jack on the original iPhone in the first
place. Finally this is fixed. Shame it doesn't work with the original
AV out cable, though.
From this angle you can also see the phones' SIM card slots. With the
iPhone 3G, instead of forcing you to use a pin, a fancy 'SIM card
ejector tool' comes in the box (which is nothing but a glorified pin).
All up,the iPhone 3G is a nice evolution of the original iPhone -
although it's really the one we should have received in the first
place.
It's a shame Apple left out A2DP Bluetooth and didn't give us a
removable battery among other features. Cut and paste, along with
tethering to a notebook, would of also been useful.
There's plenty more testing and evaluation to do over the next few
days, such as trialling MobileMe, the Apps Store and the GPS feature.
The iPhone 3G has landed, it's time to take it for a spin.
