Erica Sadun has an interesting piece over at The Unofficial Apple Weblog which laments the uber-slow Edge data speed connection.

It is a good read- especially if you have found yourself humming the Carly Simon song more than once while waiting for a web page to load.

Just a few days ago my response would have been,

"Yeah, Edge stinks but who cares– June 9th is almost here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

That was before last week’s rumors that the 3G iPhone might see a bit of a delay.

So anyone that’s heard me talk on the podcast, or had a conversation with me about protecting their iPhone knows I’m a huge fan and believer in the protection offered by InvisibleShield as well as BestSkinsEver. Granted I have a few other cases and they have their uses - for example the iPhone Defender from Otterbox is the first thing I’m packing on my trip to Florida this weekend - but the one “case” that is always on my iPhone is the InvisibleShield. So naturally the first person Patrick thought to send this announcement from Case-Mate to was me.

Now - I’m not going to get into a debate with anyone about which company is best to buy from. I own a skin from InvisibleShield for my iPhone, I’ve got a BestSkinsEver skin on the iPod Touch and each has their own good and bad qualities. What I will say that is going to differentiate case-mate in this game is that for the $19.99 price tag they are not sending just one - but two skins. Now, for something that’s about as close to indestructible as can be, why would you want two? Well, I know more than a few people who have hosed up the first install so bad that they wished they had a second (note: follow the instructions and its not bad at all)… and second if you do take it off as I just did for my trip, its always nice to start with a brand new one when you re-apply later.

Anyway - there’s my blah-blah-blah. Below is the jabber from the press release thing. Oh and click the You Tube link for some hot steamy BlackBerry blender action. Let’s just say there’s a bad little BlackBerry that gets what it deserves after a typical BlackBerry outage.

This week there are more reports of allegedly leaked photos of cases for the 3G iPhone - and once again they are said to indicate a larger, more rounded back for the 3G model, and possibly a front-facing camera.

The latest reports focus on cases from Griffin Technology, a leading iPhone and iPod accessory manufaturer:

Specifically, the photos are said to be of Griffin’s upcoming Flex GRIP iPhone 3G silicone case mold, which was built with help from 3G iPhone specifications provided to the company under non-disclosure agreements.

Check out Apple Insider’s post HERE for more details - and let us know what your latest guesses are on what the 3G model will look like / feature, while we all hurry up and wait for June 9th …

Raging Thunder is an arcade style racing game for the iPhone, that looks polished, plays great, and just feels like an App Store product already, and has done since it first appeared on Installer.

Well, one of the guys form Polarbit, makers of Raging Thunder, has done an interview with TUAW - and confirmed that the game will be coming to the App Store *AND* will continue to be around for the jailbreak community as well:

We definitely plan to release Raging Thunder as an "official" iPhone application. We want to ensure as wide a distribution of the game as possible, including those people that won’t, for one reason or another, Jailbreak their iPhone.

That said, we couldn’t dream of a better venue to test out and get feedback on our products than the Jailbreak community and will remain a presence on it for sure.

That’s good news.  Good news for the App Store and even for those planning to keep their iPhone jailbroken once 2.0 and the App Store launch.

The full interview with Polarbit’s Anders Nilsson is a good read - check it out HERE …

We’re happy to tell you that starting today, it’s easier to sync up your contact lists. The Address Book application in Mac OS X 10.5.3 now lets iPhone users sync their Address Book with Google Contacts. To try it, go to the Address Book menu, choose Preferences, and then check Synchronize with Google. It’ll ask for your Google account and password, then automatically update your contacts every time you sync your iPhone.  - Mike Morton, Google Mac Blog

Pretty cool new feature with the Mac OS X update today to 10.5.3 - your Address Book can now be set to sync to Google Contacts.

It syncs each time you sync your iPhone (not sure why this is the setup).  Just tried this out quickly and it seems to work OK, which is very nice because I’ve never worked up the motivation to get most of my contacts into Google Contacts.

Anyone else given this a try yet?

NemusSync is new iPhone application that lets you sync with Google Calendar wirelessly - and it does it well and easily.  This is - of course - a great feature to have for your iPhone calendar.

I had previously used SyncJe for wireless sync with Google Calendar - but it required GooSync or another SyncML, has not been getting much update love of late, and had frequent problems.  So far, NemusSync is much more straightforward to work with.

You can add multiple accounts (though I’ve only tried one so far), and set  which calendar you want to be the default, as well as whether you want one-way or two-way sync enabled.

So far, syncs are very quick for me - and I’m liking this new app a lot …

A startup company called Earthscape is developing a Google Earth style application for the iPhone - that lets you tilt the phone to navigate around to different parts of the globe.

This early demo of the app - which is being developed using the iPhoen SDK and is currently in private beta on Windows only - was originally posted on the Google Earth Blog.

Here’s a little more detail on the Earthscape Mobile program:

The demo is of a mobile application (Earthscape Mobile) in development that puts virtual earth software on the iPhone. When the iPhone is tilted, the earth begins to rotate and you can navigate to another part of the globe. Taylor notes that the app was running locally on the phone, and that ideally you’d would want real geo-spatial information downloaded over WiFi or 3G, which would take a ton of bandwidth and effect performance.

Pretty cool stuff.  You can sign up for the beta HERE - and check out the demo video HERE …

I’ve been using the Fresh iPhone Summerboard theme for a few weeks now (a long run for a theme) and liking it a whole lot. 

Yesterday it got an update, and it looks even fresher now.   The dock has been given the ’sandy’ treatment to make it stand out from the overall background more, the icons for Phone, Mail, Safari, and iPod have been changed, and even more 3rd party apps icons have been added.

A very good theme just got even better …

So, as ever, we hope some of you will find time to drop in and ask questions, share your thoughts, suggest topics, and all that good stuff!

To find us tonight - or afterwards via RSS or iTunes or direct MP3 download - click the graphic at the top of this post, or go HERE.

Hope to see you / talk to you tonight …
