-- According to a review in the Wall Street Journal, the more powerful iPhone Applications has a major drawback: shorter battery life. The new rechargeable 2-in-1 Charger & Back Up Battery ($49.99) by i.Sound(R) solves that problem by providing hours of additional life for the purchase iPhone 3G, iPhone Applications and all iPod(R) models with a 30 pin connector. The smallest product of its kind, the 2-in-1 charger and back-up battery doubles as an iPod/iPhone charger, allowing it to recharge while simultaneously powering your device.

AT&T Says Apple Breakdown Delays IPhone Activations

By Connie Guglielmo

July 11 (Bloomberg) -- AT&T Inc. said a breakdown in Apple Inc.'s iTunes service prevented customers from activating their new Free iPhone handsets today in its stores as planned.

``There's a worldwide issue with iTunes that Apple is working to resolve,'' AT&T spokesman Mike Coe said. ``While Apple is resolving the issue, we're telling people to sync up to iTunes later at home.'' AT&T, Apple's exclusive U.S. partner, began selling the new iPhone 3G store today at its more than 2,000 stores.

Both companies had said earlier this week they expected the purchase and activation process to take less than 15 minutes. Apple Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs is selling the new phone, which is faster and has better audio quality, in almost four times as many markets as the original.

AT&T, the largest U.S. phone company, is seeing ``strong demand'' for the device and said some stores are sold out. Apple spokesman Steve Dowling didn't have an immediate comment.

The phone is now available in 22 markets, up from six, and Jobs plans to start selling it in 70 countries in the next few months. Today's debut drew thousands of shoppers in North America, Asia and Europe. Gene Munster, an analyst with Piper Jaffray & Co. in Minneapolis, estimates Apple may sell 4.08 million this quarter, which ends in September.

Apple, based in Cupertino, California, fell $4.05 to $172.58 at 4 p.m. New York time in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. Dallas- based AT&T dropped 19 cents to $32.58.

When the first model came out a year ago, Apple and AT&T had customers sign up for service and activate the handset at home. Making customers activate the phones in stores prevents them from unlocking the devices to work on unauthorized wireless networks or reselling them.

New Countries

Rogers Communications Inc., Canada's largest wireless carrier, asked employees to postpone buying iPhones so customers can get them first as the device sold out at stores in Ottawa and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Deutsche Telekom AG, Europe's largest phone company, said it sold more than 15,000 units of the new version on the first day as many shops ran out.

In the U.K., wireless provider O2 and Carphone Warehouse Group PLC said stores sold 40 iPhones an hour, which they said is more contracts than they typically sell in a day. O2 said it experienced ``technical difficulties'' with the computer system that Apple uses to connect customers to O2.

The device also sold out at many stores in Japan, with Bic Camera Inc. and Yodobashi Camera Co. saying they got rid of their entire inventories, estimated at more than 1,000 units for each of the chains, the Nikkei newspaper said.

``I don't like it. The whole world said they were arriving today, that they'd be everywhere, but they don't have them,'' said Sergio Valtierras, a 28-year-old marketing student, as he left a Telcel store run by America Movil SAB in Mexico City.

Global Ambitions

Apple introduced the purchase discount iPhone 3G in June 2007 and sold more than 6 million before running out of inventory in May. Jobs has said he plans to sell 10 million units this year to capture 1 percent of the worldwide mobile-phone market.

U.S. shoppers began buying the Free iPhone, which works on speedier third-generation networks, at AT&T stores and Apple's 188 outlets as of 8 a.m. nationwide today.

U.S. customers will be able to check on inventory levels at Apple's stores at the company's Web site starting tonight, Apple retail chief Ron Johnson said in an interview this week.

``Our goal is to always have enough supply for every customer,'' he said.

Apple opens 'extras' store as iPhone 3G hits shelves

Posted: 11 July 2008 1252 hrs

SAN FRANCISCO: Apple's international launch of Apple's iPhone 3G began in New Zealand and Japan on Friday, as a freshly-opened "App Store" tempted fans with independently created mini-programmes for the coveted devices.

New Zealanders were the first to be able to buy the much-hyped Apple's iPhone 3G when three stores opened just after midnight, and Tokyo followed shortly afterward.

Sales of Apple's iPhone 3G models begin later in the day in 21 other countries.

On the eve of the Apple's iPhone 3G launch, Apple opened an App Store stocked with hip, fun or functional programmes crafted by third-party developers.

The shop, accessible through Apple's online iTunes store, opened with more than 500 mini-programmes, many of them free.

Mini-applications include games, photo-sharing and mobile versions of Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and eBay.

"Facebook is even cooler on the Apple's iPhone 3G, with the ability to discover friends nearby, or to effortlessly take pictures and upload them instantly to Facebook," said the social-networking website's founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Game makers are capitalising on touch-screen and motion-sensing technology in iPhones.

"The touch and tilt controls are natural and easy to learn, making gaming even more inviting, creative and rewarding," said Sega product development vice president David Cobb.

A version of the Japanese company's "Super Monkey Ball" tailored for iPhones is in the App Store.

"Apple's discount new iPhone and iPod Touch open up the world of games to an entirely new audience," Cobb said.

Applications crafted for iPhones will also work on iPod Touch models, which are basically iPhones without the telephone capabilities.

Brian Greenstone, president of computer game maker Pangea Software, called the purchase discount iPhone 3G platform "truly ground-breaking."

Software creators are allowed to set their own prices, as long as figures end with 99 cents. Apple keeps 30 percent of sales prices to pay for operating the store.

Apple senior vice president of worldwide product marketing Philip Schiller said the iPhone "represents a new software platform for developers, combining the most advanced mobile operating system, sophisticated developer tools and a breakthrough way for developers to wirelessly sell and distribute their applications."

Apple released an iPhone kit to outside developers in March in an effort to make the hot devices even more popular and wrest market share from smart phone market powerhouse BlackBerry.

The kit lets programmers customise programmes for the touch-screen mobile devices combining telephone, video, music, and Internet connectivity.

Apple vets software creations before making them available exclusively at the App Store.

Apple will sell Apple's iPhone 3G models in the United States for 199 dollars and 299 dollars, depending on memory capacity. The original eight-gigabyte iPhone was priced at 600 dollars when it debuted in June last year.

Apple's iPhone 3G prices in some countries will be as low as one euro (1.57 dollars) provided customers purchase multi-year service plans that translate into lucrative long-term revenue streams for carriers.

Apple is continuing its strategy of locking iPhones exclusively to one telecom carrier per country.

Apple and numerous technology websites have posted online tips on how to navigate Friday's anticipated buying frenzy.

Auckland student Jonny Gladwell, 22, had been first in line outside the Auckland store since Tuesday after being dared by friends who promised to pay for his phone if he lasted the distance in the queue.

"I'm going to go home, put this on charge, have a play with it and have a nice big sleep," Gladwell told Television New Zealand after securing one of the first iPhones sold in the world. - AFP/sh
