iPhones in new places (well legally)

So look at this China and Russia will be and have gotten the iPhone in their mother land. iPhone 3G purchased at the Apple Online Store can be activated with any wireless carrier," the company said. "Simply insert the SIM from your current phone into iPhone 3G and connect to iTunes 8 to complete activation."

An unlocked 8GB model is priced at HK $5,400 (roughly US$700) and an unlocked 16GB sells for HK$ 6,200 (roughly US$800).

All retailers will begin sales of iPhone in Russia at the same time, during the night between Oct. 2 and Oct. 3

So if you have not legally brought an iPhone get your hands on one as soon as possible!

Evidence points toward iPhone 3G home activation and model refresh

Multiple sources inside Apple Retail have reported evidence pointing toward a contract free, home activation option for future iPhone 3G sales, along with the possibility of a model refresh in pricing and capacity similar to last year's.


Home activation

When the iPhone 3G debuted, Apple's original and pioneering home activation process, handled by the user themselves using iTunes on their home computer, was put on hold. The primary reason appeared to be the new phone's much lower price, which required tying the new purchase to an in-store contract activation

"I'm a PC" Ad Images Made on a Mac (Big Surprise)

Computerworld reports that several of the "I'm a PC" ad images that were posted to Microsoft's website were created on a Mac.

Four of the images that Microsoft made available on its PressPass site today display the designation "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Macintosh" when their file properties are examined. The images appear to be frames from the television ads that Microsoft will launch later today.

The images likely originated from the Crispin Porter + Bogusky ad agency that is responsible for the ad campaign.

Apple Recalls iPhone 3g power adapter.

Apple has announced an exchange program for the people who apparently they have a very infrequent habit of prong-snapping, leading to a risk of fire. Check to see if your adapter has a green dot like the one pictured here; if so it is already up-to-date and does not need replacement.

 

 You can get details on the exchange program from Apple's site . Exchanges begin on October 10, both online and in person at Apple retail stores. Be careful out there.

Pay as you go works with iPhone 3g?

Well yes, over at TUAW the can confirm that the rumors were true: a completely virgin iPhone 3G works out of the box with AT&T Pay As You Go SIMs.

"After unwrapping all the plastic stuff, I popped the 3G SIM holder (it's a lot smaller and more fragile than the sturdy 1st Gen version) and plopped in a fresh PAYG SIM. The SIM had a 30 day/"Unlimited" data (i.e. up to 5GB) feature plan attached to it, which I put on there a few days ago, and otherwise has about 4 dollars and change of credit. (See my previous TUAW discussion about Prepaid Data Packages and the iPhone.)" Quote The Unofficial Apple Weblog.
