I found this interesting, and I don’t even have an iPhone: 10 useful iPhone tips & tricks.

Australia’s first 3G network seem to have been left in the cold. At this stage, the only networks to officially offer Apple’s iPhone are Optus and Vodafone. 3 aren’t going to take this affront lying down; as the Sydney Morning Herald reports, they’re organising a registry of interested customers in an attempt to entice Apple into becoming their partner.

So far, people seem enthusiastic. I, as a 3 customer, may just be signing up.

Yes: I’m excited by the impending, official launch of the iPhone, but I doubt I’ll buy one as I don’t have a good track record looking after my mobiles. Still, you never know — I guess it would be tax deductible. I think the hype surrounding them has set people’s expectations too high — when you take a step back, it’s an amazing piece of kit. Think about it: Apple had never made a mobile phone before, while Nokia and Motorola et al have been doing it for years. Decades. And Apple kicked their sorry asses, not so much by loading it with features but by designing something that’s fun to use.

I’m also excited by OS 10.6, even though it’s a long way off. I loves me some operating system. And these under-the-hood changes mean better, faster apps for us ‘puter aficionados.
