...or any other mobile web browser for that matter.

Thanks to iPhoneFreak I have found a URL for those of us that are adamant about keeping up with the Olympics wherever we might be. I am actually not one of those but the wife is so I made sure to forward the URL to her.

Mippin is the name of the site and their coverage is fairly complete and all there in one place. Events, videos, results and more can be found over at http://m.mippin.com/mip/m/cat.jsp?&p=0&cat=Olympics and someone has been kind enough to set up a Tiny URL at http://tinyurl.com/2008oly.

If my sites only looked so good on a mobile browser...

CNN Technology has a pretty thorough iPhone 3G review online that you need to check out if you are considering getting an iPhone. They have tested it pretty well and I think it's a fair review.



I was very interested initially in getting an iPhone 3G but unfortunately the only network available to me where I live and work is EDGE.



Not only that but the lack of good GPS features, lack of Bluetooth, crappy camera, etc...pretty much were a deal breaker. I think I will just stick with my Blackberry and wait for the touchscreen version to come out which should be available through Verizon later this year.



Have you gotten the new iPhone or are you considering it? Do you think it lives up to all of the hype? I love the touchscreen as well as the browser.

Technical problems and some delays have come along with the release of the iPhone this past Friday. CBS news reports.

I have pretty much decided against the iPhone since AT&T doesn't offer 3G access out here where I am but we did update my wife's iPod Touch this evening with the new software. She likes some of the additions and particularly likes the app store.

What's MobileMe? It is a way to sync and push email, contacts, calender, etc between your iPhone, iPod Touch, PC and Mac. Very nice and one of the things that have been lacking on the iPhone. Thus far the iPhone can't replace my Blackberry but there are some things that the iPhone does much better, such as the web.

I am going to upgrade my wife's iPod software at some point this week and may go ahead and get MobileMe as well if she thinks she can use it. The only downside is that it's $99 a year. Not $99 for the software, $99 a year. Still not a bad option if you love your iPhone but still need to sync with Outlook. It makes the iPhone much more business user friendly.

So do you know anyone waiting in line at one of the Apple stores, or perhaps you are planning in camping out tonight?

I can remember camping out for concert tickets as a teenager but I don't think I'm going to be one of the fools doing it for a cell phone, particularly when it will be out of date withing a year.

I do want an iPhone but unfortunately 3G is not available where I am :(
