Allright. Apple just seeded the 2.0.2 update for the new iPhone. Guess they had to come up with something before they released the 2.1 firmware that's due in September. After all the negative press lately concerning the connectivity problems with the shiny iPhone 3G ( not to mention the iPhone being slow as hell, the frequent crashes and so on) The improvements mainly concern the bugfixes, but there are also reports that after the update you will have a new Jessica Alba icon and once you press it she somes out of the phone and, I quote: ' Does nasty things.' Interesting.

Griffin Technology has just released a new addition to their iTrip family. They're probably getting tired to adjust to Apple's 'new standards' every time, because this iTrip works through the iPod's/iPhone's 3.5mm audio jack.

Because they would have to add a battery to the iTrip (the 3.5mm is not a supplier of large sums of energy). Thus, this addition to the iTrip family features a lithium-ion battery, which is rechargeable through the iTrip's built in USB connector. If you want one, it'll set you back $39,99 which isn't all that bad for a FM transmitter from the industries' leader. Go check it out at Griffin's website

There are a lot of free games available and some great premium games that sell under $10. I won't describe myself as a hardcore gamer. I am more the casual type of gamer, I hardly ever game. The only gaming I have done in the past year were on a Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii. Now that I have an iPhone, its much easier to see what titles are available and try a game every now an then. Because the iPhone is my phone, I carry it everywhere, so whenever there is a dull moment and I feel like gaming, I just grab my iPhone and a few seconds later I am happily gaming. So I am still a very casual gamer, but ...
