iPhone 3G: The Aftermath

iPhone 3G: The Aftermath

  • Leo Laporte did iPhone 3G coverage marathon at TWiTlive.tv. Staying up for 24 hour covering iPhone 3G launch is pretty crazy.
  • Lots of people bought iPhone 3G.
  • MobileMe is finally up more than 10 minutes at a time.
  • iPhone/iPod touch Software 2.0 is officially released.
  • .Mac website is offline.
  • AT&T seems to be having problems with iPhone 3G activations for significant numbers of customers.

Apple releases Mac OS X Update for MobileMe 1.1 (July 11th, 2008) following Mac OS X Update for MobileMe 1.0 that was released on July 9th, 2008. Available through Software Update.

UPDATE:
A friendly reminder for those waiting for .Mac Webmail to be online again. You can access your .Mac mail through MobileMe. Go to www.me.com/mail/

I’ll post more about the problems AT&T was having related to iPhone 3G activations.

Apple Releases iTunes 7.7

Apple has been burning the midnight oil in preparation for MobileMe launch and iPhone 3G release. As promised, Apple releases iTunes 7.7 tonight. It s available through Apple Software Update (Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista) or through iTunes Download site.

Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music, video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later. Also use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home — a free download from the App Store.

Apple has started the transitions from .Mac to MobileMe.

MobileMe Launch, and .Mac Mail

I am not really sure what is really going on, but apparently Mail.app is downloading more emails thanI actually have from the server. It must be related to the MobileMe launch.

I don’t think I have 9604 incoming messages. I should only have 6953 messages as of today.
