We saw a good deal of pictures of the new iPhone 3G at WWDC earlier that month, but wouldn’t it be cool to see a side-by-side comparison of the new and old phones? Ask and you shall receive.

It looks like the edges of the phone are a little more streamlined, with only the volume rocker and the headphone jack disturbing its sleek lines. With the headphone jack not being recessed that moment around, there is barely even a visible divot there. I want to say that the camera gap is larger, but I’m thinking that it may simply be a trick of the eye.

If you’ve ever been surfing the net on your iPhone and been frustrated by having to log into the same sites every date you visit them, next I’ve got a cool fix for you. You’ll need to have a jailbroken iPhone (or iPod Touch) in order to use that. Just add http:/repo.ispazio.net to your sources in Inataller. Refresh, and search for iRemember. that will modify a few permissions that should allow your iPhone to keep your cookies around longer.

If you live in the UK and are intending upon getting in on the iPhone 3G action come launch day, you might keep an ear out for news about early registration. According to rumors, the company may be allowing customers to sign up for contracts before the launch term, thus alleviating some congestion on July 11th.

If the rumor is to be believed, starting July 1st, you’ll be able to walk into the store and sign up for your iPhone 3G contract. You’ll next be able to pick up your shiny new phone on July 11th and enter a registration number, which would thereupon activate your new explanation.

I’m really not certain what I think of that practice. On one side, it would certainly get customers in and out of the store in a timely manner. However, those not in the know might not be able to get their hands on a phone come launch day, as they could potentially be sold out before the 11th. We’ll keep an eye out for any official word from O2.

Dell ,Apple, Fujitsu, HTC, Lenovo, LG, Nokia, Panasonic, Palm, Samsung, and Toshiba have all been added to Typhoon Touch Technologies hit list. Typoon is accusing these companiesof using their patented ideas that moment back to 1995 for teh touch computer. Their patents were so open ended and broad that they have been able to pull these companies in saying that all of their touch computing is in clash with their ideas. They created the blueprints for their technology for the police departments based on touchscreen portable devices with built in computers.

They first began going after companies when Dell release their Latitude XT tablet, now they have brought in more than 10 companies. Everyone is unclear as to how far they wil get in these procedings.

What we do know about the lawsuit is that Typhoon is hoping to use them to generate a steady stream of revenue, as they are seaking injunctions against the products involved until companies agree to pay a “fair royalty”, on top of the financial damages they’re asking for.

It’s always interesting to see how different analysts come up with numbers. Take for instance the raw cost of materials for the new iPhone 3G. Portelligent released their estimates not enlarged ago which suggested that Apple’s cost was only roughly $100. Well iSuppli has taken a look and come up with a drastically different figure.

According to the recent findings from iSuppli, they believe Apple will be paying roughly $173 for materials and manufacturing of the 8GB iPhone 3G. While they are estimating $73 higher than Portelligent, that’s still considerably less than the original iPhone, which was around $226.

You can bet that Apple is hoping you spring for the 16GB model (I know I am) as it is estimated that the additional memory will only cost them $23 more than the 8GB model. Of course, we’ll be paying an additional $100, so that’s a nice $77 in Apple’s pocket.

As of now, we don’t know of any plans for AT&T to release a pre-paid plan for the iPhone 3G (in fact AT&T has said that they won’t be doing that at all, but you never know). Of course that isn’t the case overseas where many carriers will offer that choice. So just how many new iPhones will be pre-paid? While no one knows the reply, Piper Jaffray analys Gene Munster has an notion.

Munster believes that Apple is charging carriers around $425 for the phone, which they will in turn sell for $600 or more. He believes that roughly 1 out of every 10 3G iPhones sold will be one of these unsubsidized pre-paid phones.
