In Brazilian Portuguese, but if you’re dying to see Apple’s latest universe denter in action before Friday, hit the play button and enjoy.

No sooner did we ask (twice) whether the iPhone 3G S will speed up the splitting of the iPhone OS platform than Mobility Today finds the little pop-up alert, above, just chock-a-block full of confirmation.
Not the most elegant or user friendly of solutions, so perhaps this ultimately lies more with how developers handle different hardware options than the existence of the options themselves?
Could a video/camera button not disappear for a current iPod touch, default to launching only the camera for iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G, or launch the camera with a video switch (like Apple’s built in Camera app will have) for iPhone 3G S?
AT&T (via Macrumors) has posted the above video in hopes of clarifying how customers, new and existing, can get a brand new iPhone 3G S come next Friday:
On launch day (June 19th), two lines will form at 7 a.m. local time at the AT&T retail stores. Customers who had pre-ordered from retail stores will be able to pick up their iPhone 3GSs at that time, while customers who wish to purchase that day will have to wait until the store opens at normal business hours.
Pricing is still $199/$299 for 16GB/32GB on new activations with full subsidies. Customers already under contract, having already received subsidies last time around, can expect to pay up to $599/$699 (though some discounts might bring that down a tad).
So, does the video help answer your questions, if not allay your frustrations?
Our all-grown up sibling site, PreCentral.net has just hit the mid-point in their debut device, mega-give away contest, What Would You Do for a Palm Pre? And the answers, at least thus far, have been as compelling as they’ve been — well, quite frankly disturbing.
From Pre-verts to Pre-jects to all around Pre-fects, (tip o’ the meme to CrackBerry Kevin), their awesome community showed up in full force — if not full faculty — video cameras in hand, and oh my but they’ve brought’n'd it!
- Tattoo Guy. Ouch. And… ouch!
- Gorilla at Law. That whole video is out of order!
- Death by Curry. Nom. Nom. Kapow!
And more to come! Keep an eye on PreCentral.net for the rest of the week, for the rest of the videos, and if you’re already lined up outside a Sprint store for this Saturday’s big Pre launch, do say hi to Dieter for us!
I, Robot. The Butlarian Jihad. Terminator. Cylons. The Matrix. And the endless sci-fi stories that inspired them. All that cultural warning and still, like lemmings, we humans rush towards inventing our replacements.
No one to blame but ourselves now really. And Apple for making our eventual overlords so aesthetically pleasing…

You’re the world champion, but some old-school commentators keep talking like maybe you’re yesterday’s news. They say you haven’t faced any real challengers lately, that you’re getting soft. They say that some new device is looking hungry.
But here’s the thing: you know you’ve still got it. You know it and you want to prove it. You want to fight. You want to fight now!
But the challenger just ain’t showing up. And worse, they ain’t even saying when they will finally show up. Makes you so riled you just want to SCREAM!
That’s the emotion TiPb’s Rene tapped into to help out editor-in-chief Dieter, and our siblings over at PreCentral.net, video up a little demandment for Palm.
Release the release date. The Palm faithful want it to show what it can do, and dagnabit, we want to see what it can do. Bring it on!
Eye of the Jobs, baby!
If it’s May, it must be pre-WWDC insanity season, and TiPb is expecting lots of leaks, fake leaks, and fake fake leaks. Also, lots of fun fanboi renderings like the videos embedded above and after the break, courtesy of Business Insider.
Not real, no way, but are these anything like the iPhonechromatic or Unibody models you’d like to see Apple release at some point?
TiPb predicted an iPhone HD way back in October of last year. We’ve also covered the idea that iPhone 3.0, perhaps only in conjunction with new hardware, will finally give us some much-wanted video-shooting, editing, and sharing goodness. Business Week, however, amid worrying about Hulu and iTunes, snuck in this little nugget about both of the above:
A person familiar with Apple’s plans says it’s simple to record and edit stunningly sharp video with the device—and then wirelessly send it to friends with a few clicks or watch it on the phone’s improved screen.
Okay, so maybe they’re just fixing the color temperature again. Maybe they’re going OLED. Or maybe we really will see an 800×480 iPhone HD announced at WWDC? Can June seem any further away?!
No. Despite the Washington Post’s provocative headline, Apple’s no more “secretly working on an iPhone camcorder” now than they were “secretly working on an iPhone camera” in 2006.
Technology advances. Early digital cameras had very low resolution, now they’re in the double-digits for megapixels. When VGA cameras were no longer of any value as stand-alone products, they were integrated into cellphones. Now 2, 3.5, 5 megapixel, and even higher resolution optics are becoming likewise obsolete as anything but integrated options, and so are finding their way into the iPhone, Nokia, or SonyEricsson devices.
Those same camera kits have been used by other smartphones to shoot video for a while now. And as the low-end, highly-pocketable stand-alone devices like the Flip turn their sights to HD, the older, lower-resolution technologies get integrated away.
It’s likely Apple will provide video shooting, editing, and sharing in the next generation iPhone (we’ve seen lots of screen shots to confirm that), and fans of the iPhone, low-end camcorders, convergence devices will no doubt celebrate. Others will keep their 1080p units handy…
At least until 2011 when Apple and RED announce their partnership to produce the iPhone 4K (2160p)… on Verizon…
(Joking!)
