Software problems bug Apple’s launch of new iPhone(AP)
NEW YORK – Apple Inc.’s new iPhone went on sale Friday to eager buyers worldwide, but there were problems getting the phones to work.
Kenny Pichardo, 24, was the first to buy an iPhone 3G at an AT&T store in the New York borough of Queens, but he said it took the store half an hour to get the phone activated.
That boded badly for the approximately 70 people after him in line. Pichardo had camped out overnight to be first.
A spokesman for AT&T Inc., the exclusive carrier for the iPhone in the U.S., said there was a global problem with Apple Inc.’s iTunes servers that prevented the phones from being fully activated in-store, as had been planned.
Instead, employees are telling buyers to go home and perform the last step by connecting their phones to their own computers, spokesman Michael Coe said.
At Apple’s flagship store on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue, customers were waiting at the counter for at least 20 minutes to get their new phones activated.
When the first iPhone went on sale a year ago, customers performed the whole activation procedure at home, freeing store employees to focus on sales. But the new model is subsidized by carriers, as is standard in the wireless industry, and Apple and AT&T therefore planned to activate all phones in-store to get customers on a contract.
The problem extended to owners of the previous iPhone model. A software update released for that phone on Friday morning required the phone to be reactivated through iTunes.
“It’s a mess,” said freelance photographer Giovanni Cipriano, who updated his first-generationiPhone only to find it unusable.
On Thursday, Apple had problems with the launch of a new data service, MobileMe. The service is designed to synchronize a users personal data across devices, including the iPhone , but many users were denied access to their accounts.
Enthusiasm was high ahead of the 8 a.m. launch of the new phone, and a line of hundreds at the Fifth Avenue store encircled the block. Many of them were already owners of the first iPhone , suggesting that Apple is preaching to the choir with the new model, which updates the one launched a year ago by speeding up Internet access and adding a navigation chip.
Thanks to subsidies by the carrier, the price has also been cut substantially to $199 for the cheapest model in the United States.
Alex Cavallo, 24, lined up at the Fifth Avenue store, just as he had been a year ago for the original iPhone . He sold that one recently on eBay in anticipation of the new one. In the meantime, he has been using another phone, which felt “uncomfortable.”
“The iPhoneis just a superior user experience,” he said. The phone also proved a decent investment for him: He bought the old model for $599 and sold it for $570.
Nick Epperson, a 24-year-old grad student, spent the night outside an AT&T store in Atlanta, keeping his cheer up with bags of Doritos, three games of Scrabble and two packs of cigarettes. Asked why he was waiting in line, he responded simply “Chicks dig theiPhone.”
The new phone went on sale Friday in 21 countries, with one more, France, following next week. In most of them it was the first time any iPhone was officially sold there, though several countries have seen a brisk grey-market trade in phones imported from the U.S.
iPhone fever was strong even in Japan, where consumers are used to tech-heavy that do restaurant searches, e-mail, music downloads, reading digital novels and electronic shopping. More than 1,000 people lined up at the Softbank Corp. store in Tokyo and the phone quickly sold out.
“Just look at this obviously innovative design,” Yuki Kurita, 23, said as he emerged from buying his iPhone , carrying bags of clothing and a skateboard he had used as a chair during his wait outside the Tokyo store. “I am so thrilled just thinking about how I get to touch this.”
The phone went on sale first in New Zealand, where hundreds of people lined up outside stores in New Zealand’s main cities to snap it up right at midnight — 8 a.m. Thursday in New York.
“Steve Jobs knows what people want,” Web developer Lucinda McCullough told the Christchurch Press newspaper, referring to Apple’s chief executive. “And I need a new phone.”
In Germany, sales were brisk at local carrier T-Mobile’s stores, particularly in Munich, Hamburg and Cologne.

Laptops get smaller every year. This makes it easier for people to bring along instead of carrying a suitcase with the unit inside as well as the other gadgets. One company that has kept with the times is Acer as it has launched the Centrino.

Acer introduced the first one with this technology back in 2003 with the TravelMate C110. It uses DDR SDRAM of 255MHz, the Intel 82852/92855 FM/FME Graphics Controller that allows you to share up to 64 MB and an IBM Travelstar 40GB hard drive at 4,200 rpm. Later models may have up to 120GB like the TravelMate 8200.

The C110 is considered to be a second generation laptop because of the many improvements compared to its predecessor the C102. Unfortunately, this came at a price such as an increase in weight and size.

Here are some other things that make this special. First, it has the optional Acer Easyport docking station, which takes away the hassle of connecting and disconnecting cables.

These can be used for infrared, Ethernet and even a 56Kbps modem enabling you to go on the net. There is also space for your external combo CD-RW/DVD drive that can be connected via the FireWire port but this requires its own power supply. You can find these along its edges and are protected by flexible rubber covers so dust does not set in.

There are also a pair of 2.0 USB ports so you can connect your Ipod or flash drive. It also has a wider viewing angle for the LCD screen so a lot of people can see what is happening.

When you buy the Acer Centrino Laptop, this comes with Windows XP, manager utility, Norton Antivirus 5.0. You will also get three applications namely the Alias Sketchbook that turns the unit into a sketch board, the Zinio Reader converting this into a digital magazine and Franklin Covey which is designed to help you organize and schedule things for you. You can’t sketch without some writing instruments so you get this with 2 pens.

Since this model is a bit old, you could go for something else that also uses Centrino technology like the 8200.

This is a lot bigger than the C110 and one thing it does have is its own webcam. This allows you to interact with other people and even take pictures as it can rotate 225 degrees.

As mentioned earlier, this laptop has 120 GB 5400 rpm disk drive, 2GB of memory space, a 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics chip and a double-layer DVD burner.

In order to protect the contents of this Centrino laptop, the upper lid is made of tough carbon fiber while the rest is made from magnesium alloy. It only comes in one color, which is black, and you don’t see any logos on it like the ones on the Ferrari Series.

The market price for this toy is $2,499 given it has new features compared to the C110. You will get to have a one year warranty, which can be extended for a longer period of time.

Those looking for an Acer Centrino laptop don’t have to look any further given that the 8200 is readily available. There are other models you can also explore so you just have to check out what else is on sale.
