whats the difference between the regular iPhone and the iPhone 3g? and how much do they cost?
and are they going to come out with newer better iphones? and when?
Answer
The key differences between the original iPhone and the newer 3G model are:
1. The inclusion of a 3G radio which allows data to be transferred at about 200-300% faster rates (roughly, assuming good signal quality), compared the to the EDGE radio in the original iPhone.
2. They changed the case. The design is more of a wedge shape versus the rounded shape of the original iPhone. According to most people, this makes the new 3G iPhone more comfortable to hold in the hand. The original had a brushed aluminium backplate, and the new one has more of a hard plastic back. Also they added a new color choice to the phone: white.
3. They added a GPS - so Google maps now has a real-time updating GPS versus the previous system which relied on something like trangulation of cell phone towers to determine location but which only gave a relative idea.
4. They improved the battery life - the battery lasts about 2 hours longer for calls.
5. They unrecessed the headphone jack on the new iPhone - the original iPhone had a recessed jack that made it hard to plug in a lot of headphones.
6. They changed the screen color from a vaguely bluish tinge to more of a yellowish tinge. It's not easily noticed but some people prefer the original over the newer one.
7. They improved the microphone quality and the speaker quality to make it easier to listen to music without headphones and it makes calls clearer.
8. They changed the method of signing up for a contract - you used to be able to wander in and buy one... with cash originally without having to sign a contract. You just walked in and bought it and walked out and then figured out the contract when you plugged it into a computer at home.
9. They changed the price. It appears that they lowered the price by lowering it from $399 to $199 (for the 8GB model), but they raised the monthly fee by $10 - which adds $240 over the two year mandatory contract period... so it costs $40 more (over 2 years) than the original one.
They will likely continue to come out with a new model every summer. This would be similar to what Apple does with other products like iPods, so it's a fairly safe guess that next summer around June/July 2009, there will be a newer version of the iPhone.

How to set up a ceiling speaker system?
Josh
Just bought a house and trying to set up some speakers for ambiance/background music. I have the speakers and wire all set up to the same place, but I'm not sure how I should hook it all up. Most importantly I just want to set up an indiscreet or in-wall receiver to control it. I'm mostly just looking for something to control the volume and probably set up an iPhone dock that hooks up through the microphone jack. If possible, maybe an RCA jack for random occasions. So mostly I'm just looking for something to hook the speaker wire into and control the volume/playback.
Is this something I should get an amplifier for? Is there anything else I should be more worried about? Is there a cheap in-wall control anyone can suggest? Thanks guys
Answer
Built in home audio is a bit different than simply having a room wired with, say 5 in-wall speakers for 5.1 audio. Ditto for just adding an extension pair of speakers in another room.
Typically you'll have the speakers installed with a volume control on the wall, and that volume control is either an L-Pad or a higher-power speaker controller. These are not cheap, but the impedance must be kept constant - you don't have a choice here.
You have 2 options with the speaker wires. You can have a series/parallel connection within a junction box in the attic or similar hidden area, or have all speaker wires come out at a central point and connect to a speaker selector junction box. You will need one with impedance protection - no choice here either. A receiver would connect to the speaker junction box - using only one set of speaker outputs from the receiver or amplifier.
And now you know why those A/V installers charge so much, and why it's cheaper to do this during new construction! There is no cheap way here.
