Apple Otaku

With the announcement today of the 3G iPhone, you now have the option of buying a limited edition 16GB model in white. Any takers?

According to The iPod Observer, this might be a leaked photo of the upcoming 3g iPhone. Some might think it was a simple ColorWare job but notice that there’s no seam where the metal backing and plastic antenna cover meet.

After checking out the iChinese website, I’m looking forward to seeing some of the kanji Apps for the iPhone once the official iPhone SDK is out and third party apps become widely available.

The 1.1.3 update is the first significant software upgrade for the iPhone. Previous updates mostly consisted of bug fixes and minor speed improvements. This update actually has some meat.

According to a report, the iPhone might eventually show up in Japan.

An MMORPG has made it to the Japanese mobile phone. Lisa Katayama wrote about this in a recent blog post.

Apple finally made their iPhone 1.1.2 update available via iTunes yesterday. One thing I noticed after installing this update was the speed increase. Switching from vertical to horizontal application views now feels smoother. Accessing messages from the SMS application is now a bit quicker.
