Unlocked Iphone Store Blog

If you’re in an unfamiliar city, remembering where you parked can be tricky, even more so if you’re also driving an unfamiliar rental car.

Posimotion’s G-Park takes a more high-tech approach. When you park your car, launch G-Park and press the Park Me button. The iPhone 3G’s GPS takes over, pinpointing your current location. Later, when it’s time to return to the car, open G-Park again, press Where Did I Park? and the program will plot a route back.

Of course, there are some drawbacks. If you’re parked in a multi-level structure, it won’t be able to tell you which floor you’re on—and in fact, you probably won’t be able to get a GPS fix until you step outside. But that’s what the “with details” screen is for: it provides a Notes box and a series of input wheels let you put in more specific information about exactly where you’ve parked.

Will G-Park change our lives irrevocably? No, I don’t suppose so. But when I’ve parked in some random back street in some city I don’t really know, now I’ll be confident that I won’t be wandering the streets hoping to spot a car I recognize.

The new Apple I-phone 3G is Coming!, here a photo From a portuguese forum, where a lucky person has already had the pleasure of cracking open the box and booting up their new device.

Feast your eyes on the above pic and one more after the break, and keep reminding yourself that you’ve only got three more days to wait.

In 24 hours, the long-awaited faster, cheaper iPhone 3G will be available at AT&T and Apple stores around North America and most of the world… the madness begin.

Steve Jobs’ newest toy is expected to fly off shelves when sales begin 8 a.m. Friday, similar to the last release of the first-generation iPhone. The newer version has even more bells and whistles, including faster Internet speeds and GPS.

“I don’t know if you’ll see the lines like you did last year, but you’ll see more people interested in buying it because it’s cheaper,” said Doug Bellenger, chief technology officer of a local mobile marketing company, who was part of the frenzy for the first iPhone. “The 3G is going to make it a lot faster and a lot more [user] friendly.”

New AT&T customers will pay $199 for the 8-gig version and $299 for the 16-gig model – down significantly from $499 and $599 for the previous version – as long as they sign a new two-year contract.

Apple is not revealing how many phones will be available tomorrow but said it is prepared for heavy demand. Customers will also have to activate their phones in-store, which could mean lines will move slower.

Bloggers and previous customers have already started breaking down the 3G’s pros and cons online with complaints ranging from a new plastic back to a shorter battery life.

Good luck tomorrow!!
