With MobileMe making the headlines tonight, iPhone 3G can still squeak out some news of its own.
- Both David Pogue and Stuff.tv added video reviews of iPhone 3G today, now offering a total of 4 video reviews of the latest iPhone. Also, The Boy Genius Report added an unboxing video of the phone after releasing a set of pictures yesterday.
Both the NY Times and USA Today released articles about the App Store tonight, giving us new numbers and apps to look at. Both papers spoke to Steve Jobs and according to him, the App Store will launch with 500 applications on Thursday (coinciding with New Zealand’s iPhone 3G) and 25% of those apps will be free, while a third of the apps are games. Also confirmed through the articles and images are applications from MySpace, Facebook, AOL, eBay, Pandora, and more will be available. For some pictures and videos of the apps, check out NY Times and USA Today. Apps like Tap Tap Revenge and Twinkle should look familiar as they are based off of apps from the Installer.app.- A video of AT&T employees bring iPhone 3G boxes from the trucks to the store shelves and locking them up reveals to facts: the white iPhone 3G will be available at AT&T stores, contrary to previous rumors, and the white version will come in a white box.
