Google has just announced that they've made Google Talk accessible on iPhones. In the past because the iPhone doesn't support flash (for no good reason), third party applications like eBuddy were essential if you wanted to use Google Talk on the iPhone. The one caveat is the fix only works on Apple's Safari browser, and only on iPhones and the iPod Touch.

Can an iPhone actually do that? I doubt it… see for yourself

Just an ordinary guy that talks from his heart…

iSuppli, who are experts at taking apart gadgets and figuring how much they actually cost to manufacture, just ran some numbers on the new iPhone 3G and estimated, the thing costs $173 to physically produce.

Here's the breakdown for parts:

That's significantly cheaper than the $226 the original iPhone was estimated to cost, and frankly that pisses me off.

If Microsoft made the iPhone... um, it probably wouldn't work.

Actually, while it's obviously a parody, it reminds me of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's' famous dismissal to the iPhone. Now that the 3G iPhone has a much lower price point and more synchronized Blackberry like features for businessmen , I wonder if Ballmer is changing his Zune... er tune.

With the AT&T network causing so many iPhone 3G problems, it's nice to know there's one way to drive down prices on your carrier bill... sort of.

AT&T has just announced that they will be offering family plans with the iPhone 3G, meaning once your paying $39.99 for a voice plan, it's only $9.99 for each additional line.

With the big news at the WWDD being the official launch of the 3G iPhone, lost in the shuffle was some great iPhone downloads that will be made available when the iPhone App Store goes online early next month:

One of the most promising is an iPhone version of Sega's Super Monkey Ball, which looks like a 3D version of Sonic the Hedgehog, and you control by tilting the iPhone.

Prime using iPhone 3G unlock matrix: even Optimus Prime can't unlock iPhone 3G

Even before the iPhone 3G is released on July 11th, there's already one method for unlocking the handset from AT&T - unfortunately it's a costly one.

Well, it been less than 24 hours since the iPhone 3G was officially announced, and the let down still has left a bad taste in my mouth. Yeah, it has 3G speed, and GPS... but that's pretty much it. All the other rumoured changes failed to materialize.

Here's what didn't happen:

Why bothering offering iPhones for $199, when you can give away iPhones for free?

That seem to be the marketing strategy of UK carrier O2, who's offering the handsets as an enticement for their £45 and £75 tariffs plans. O2 can afford to do this because quite simply, £45 is a lot of money - $89 in dollars or $148 for the £75 plan.
