AT&T 3G/EDGE network outage, iPhone Cubism, and other iPhone news...
Posted by: Marianne Schultz on Sep 2, 2008
AT&T's data network appears to be down this morning along the east coast and fairly far inland as well. Users on Macrumors.com are describing various reasons behind the outage from calls with AT&T, with the most interesting one given as "Apple's Safari servers are down." Come again? Oh, yeah - all the data on every iPhone in the U.S. runs through Safari servers managed by Apple first. How could I forget about that? Right. Engadget has reported on this outage as well.
Has your iPhone camera taken odd pictures showing mis-placed pieces of the scene you want to capture like a live puzzle? If so, you're not alone - TUAW reports on a number of these distorted pictures posted to Flickr by various people, and the phenomenon is being called "iPhone Cubism." Who knew that you could create post-modern art with your iPhone without even trying? This looks like a software bug that will hopefully be addressed in a future update.
Griffin has announced some new iPhone 3G accessories at the IFA Consumer Elecrtronics show in Berlin. The new products are a suction cup window mount, the Reflect hardshell case, and the Streamline sport armband.
Remember that goal of selling 10 million iPhones by the end of the year that Apple has set? Well, it sounds like they are well on their way. Some dedicated fans have gathered data from the general public and extrapolated from it that about 8 million iPhones have been sold so far. Apple stockholders rejoice! -Via TUAW .
