They’re perfect, save for not having a clicker for changing track/answering calls on my iPhone, they’re the best headphones I’ve ever had. Best thing about them would have to be either the leather case they come with, or the Bang and Olufsen customer service.

Everyone saw it coming, but it’s here now (well, the 11th of july at least). Improvements over the last model include 

• 3g data
• 2.0 software, including the app store
• Assisted GPS
• Non-recessed headphone jack (finally getting B&O headphones)
• price drop (free to some)

If that wasn’t enough, o2 customers in the UK who are on a £45 or more contract every month get a free upgrade to the new one, this includes me, so I’m getting the new one and keeping my old one to play with/hack.

Apple released 10.5.3 today, with a few updates, including being able to sync address book with google.

Seems okay to me, hasn’t given me any speed boost though. Guess I’ll need that macbook pro after all.

• 10.1 MP CMOS
• Digic III
• 7-point AF
• 3 FPS
• 2.5? LCD
• Live View
• Similar Menus to the 450D (but more simplified)
• Weight 540grams
• Cheap Price

This one could be interesting, going along the same route as Nikon has with the the D40.

In accordance with everyone’s speculation, gizmodo has pulled this story out of their arse. They seem to think that they’ve got the scoop on the 3g iPhone release. 

The article seems to base everything on “a secret undisclosed source”, which is the staple standard of the Apple rumour mill. 

In other obvious news, fish swim, ducks quack and gizmodo isn’t news, it is blatant gossip blogging, which does drive traffic, as it’s top of techmeme right now.

I should get on an article about the 4g one they’re readying for next year, now where’s my “source”. 

Breaking: iPhone 3G Launch Date Confirmed

Apple’s online store seems to be out of iPhones.

I wonder why.

Looking to be something of an odd acquisition for Yahoo!, everyone’s favourite safari plug-in, Inquisitor has been snapped up as a “search assistant” (or to get Yahoo as the default on a few more people’s copies of safari). It’s a bit of a shame, but I liked the google default. Congrats to David Watanabe on the sale of it anyway. He does make it clear that Yahoo! didn’t buy him out.

13:34:45 Dean Gray: The way you type shows you’re slovenly, the fact you don’t have a decent picture as a display image shows you’re probably too poor to afford a digital camera, that coupled with the grammar, lack of a retort and poor spelling shows you’re more likely to come from a low income household, and thus have a very poor lifestyle

Showing that people think windows users are idiots and need everything spelt out to them, Apple changed their windows software update program so that it now shows what is new software. It is, however, still checked by default so there will probably be some outcry about it still. Everyone’s doing it, installing things you don’t need on windows because they can (microsoft still being one of the main people who do it).

The one thing this shows is that Apple is trying to make peace with the blogging community online for a change, changing software not to add features, but to please people who criticised them.

Somehow I’m guessing this was down to the PR department and not from Steve.
