This means no physical modifications, no void warranties, and the freedom to choose whatever carrier you want.

They plan or releasing the unlock on New Year’s Eve (2008). I’ll wait and see how everyone else fairs with it before jumping in with both feet!

The unlock will require iPhone 3Gs that have 2.11.07 baseband or earlier and jailbroken.

Apple In-Ear Headphones

Apple In-Ear Headphones


It seems like Apple is contradicting itself a little more each day, in a good way mind you. I just noticed today on Apple’s home page that they are now shipping their new New Apple In-Ear Headphones for Gen 4 and up iPods (no iPhone). The new headphones feature two separate “high-performance” drivers; a woofer to handle bass and mid-range sounds and a tweeter for high-frequency audio, removable stainless steel mesh caps that protect the components from dust and debris, and probably the most important new soft, silicone ear tips.

I’ve always found the stock iPod/iPhone ear buds to be amazingly uncomfortable, they’ve always sounded great but I could never stand to wear them. The diamater seemed a bit on the large size and I had to shoehorn them into my ear canal. Like much of Apple’s design, despite complaints they continuted to manufacture them that way for years (much like the “we don’t need to mouse buttons” argument). It’s refreshing to see them correct some of these flaws.

I already invested in a Shure headset for the iPhone (really awesome set and good quality) so I probably won’t get to try the new Apple headset out, however I’ll update if I find any reviews out there.
