| Re: Google OS Awesome post. (yes, this is sarcasm)
Android itself isn't the core operating system in the sense of a "new operating system' by Google. Linux is the core operating system with Android "on top". If what Google promises is true, it will allow any developer with the SDK to write whatever they want to interact with any part of the phone, including the dialer. This should be pretty slick from a developer perspective.
I'm going to hold out though until the speed issue gets resolved. I like EVDO so hopefully Sprint or Verizon follow suit.

| | Still not addressed (recieption/sending) I'm an old Cingular/AT&T customer. If I use my Motorola flip phones I can get fair reception (2-3 bars) at the vacation home, so we normally plug in one of those CB style antennas into the jack on the phone and we get upwards of 4 bars. We tell our friends to use the old numbers if they are trying to get in touch with us on weekends.
Reception on the iPhone is so bad that I can't even start to use it. I get 1 bar if I'm lucky. There is no place to plug in an external antenna.
So in addition to fixing the Edge network they (AT&T / Apple) needs to address the reception/sending issues with the phone.
In town it's ok, but on the fringes of the network it is the pits and we have to revert to different phones. We keep the Motorola's only to get service at the vacation home....
So Apple has their work cut out for them. Fancy phones are only as good as they can send and receive messages and these have MAJOR issues in this area...
The wife and I have 4 & 8 gig phones so it's a phone issue and not isolated to just one phone but I'd guess all of them!! | |

Mount Airy, MD | How Many "Months?" I thought that FCC applications had to be made public. Wouldn't a 3G iPhone application be public by now?
I wonder if the number of months before the release of the 3G iPhone will be the number needed to coincide with the first contract explorations of current iPhone owners.
And why is AT&T wasting money on "upgrades" to EDGE? EDGE is a dead-end technology. Bring on more 3G service!

Mount Airy, MD | Re: How Many "Months?" said by ptrowski:I thought they already put in the FCC application for the 3G version? There would have been a tech-press-orgy if that had occurred. If I remember right, Steve Jobs announced the original iPhone in January of 2007 and it was not released till June of 2007. My standing prediction is that we will most likely see a 3G iPhone "on the street" by June 2009.

Mountain View, CA | said by pnh102:I thought that FCC applications had to be made public. Wouldn't a 3G iPhone application be public by now? A company submitting a device to the FCC can request that their application be kept confidential until a particular date. This prevents product details from being leaked prematurely.
Apple has consistently used the confidentiality provisions  | |

Dallas, TX |  Has anyone checked the FCC website
I was under the impression that it was somewhere around a 6 month process from application with the FCC until a new handset was launched.
I could be mistaken though.

kudos:2 | Re: Has anyone checked the FCC website It's about 6 months for certification, so you're correct. And, while some devices qualify for special treatment, an iPhone "upgrade" ain't one of them.

Seattle, WA | Silly Karl. The sales have already begun! ^ - Unless you meant end users selling their goods. The ATT stores on the east coast have been selling (out) refurbished iPhones for a while now at 249, and the same price was announced a week or two back on ATT's website , in which the phone went OOS in about 23 hours. People still love the first gens, even though no one technically has the second gen. I've unlocked and jailbroken mine for t-mobile, so unless there is a better screen (and thus people will know i'm not using second gen) , I probably won't be in a rush to upgrade. | |

| | Custom Software I will be doing 2 things once the SDK is released.
I will be working on creating a firewall or advanced ip tables.
The second thing I will be looking to do is to find a way to write macros in text messages. | |
