“Twitterers Respond” is a great idea for a regular column. Just a thought . . .

Apple has hit a new low IMO by not including Voice Control functionality in the 3.0 update for the 3G. It seems like the 3G has the hardware guts to handle it so it is simply a software addition.

They have put profit before end user safety. Apple markets the iPhone as an all in one audio entertainment+Turn by Turn GPS+mobile phone solution for your car. Not having to take your hand off the wheel would mean safer operation. I have felt the iPhone UI for the iPod functionality was a step backwards from the iPod physical clickwheel since the beginning.

I would hope Apple would do the right and ethical thing and add Voice Control functionality to the iPhone3G as well.

Biz,

Please explain how jailbreak gets you an iPhone without the ATT contract?

“ipod touch still $400 for 32Gb when u can pay $300 for a 32Gb 3GS iphone!”

No, the iPhone costs $300 PLUS $1,920 in monthly service fees over 2 years.

iPhone = $2,220

iPod touch = $400
