I just read over at Appleinsider that the iPhone 3G is almost sold out all over the states, and that seems to be the case in almost all countries where iPhone 3G debuted ten days ago. In Sweden they ran out of phones after only a few days. I guess those factories are working round the clock and it will be interesting to see how many months it will take until they have delivered enough phones to get on par with the demand.

In September you will be able to buy a really cool game in AppStore. The name of the game will be Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and CrunchGear scored a video of the game. Looks really neat, especially the way you can use the force. Check it out.

Waiting in a tent outside an Apple store for a week and get a slightly updated phone - and pay for it as well - is just so absurd that it honestly makes me think that it’s just a PR thing from Apple. The photo above is taken today outside the Apple Store in NYC.

What do you think? Would you stand in line for more than a couple of hours to get an iPhone 3G? I wouldn’t stand in line for more than 10 minutes…

Above you can see an excerpt from a big iPhone timeline image, listing all important dates throughout the iPhone history. Interesting to see that Apple registered the iPhone.org domain already in 1999.

Appstore is the new market place for getting applications for your iPhone 3G. The majority of the applications are supposed to be free but there will also be commercial products like games. A typical game will probably be around $9.99.

Apparently it is very easy to check out old emails, contacts, photos and other personal info on the current iPhone model - even if the phone has been reset and erased. The next software version, 2.0, will take about an hour to reset but will delete all data for real by writing random data all over.

Sony Ericsson held a press event this morning where they unveiled a couple of new phones. The most interesting one was the Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot - a brand new 8.1 megapixel phone/camera wíth built-in GPS for automatic geo tagging.
