When the Apple iPhone 3G was released, I saw a lot of flak against Apple for the lack of copy and paste functionality. Granted, I saw a lot of flak for many other features of the iPhone 3G including the 3G connection itself, but for some people who consider it a norm to surf the web using their iPhones regularly, the lack of copy and paste could be a big hassle.

Hey, I hope you haven’t forgotten about the Nike+ Human Race 10K on August 31, 2008. If not, check our prior post about it, and maybe you can join participants in Melbourne where the event’s taking place. Speaking of Nike+, there are some alleged screenshots of its interface optimized for the Apple iPhone.

Looking to pimp up that boring new iPhone 3G of yours?

Here’s the list of my favorite iPhone 3G accessories available on the market:

1. B&W Zeppelin Speakers for iPhone 3G

These beautiful speakers from Bowers & Wilkins were released late last year. At the time we weren’t sure that they would support the iPhone 3G. Now that the iPhone 3G has been released we can confirm that they work seamlessly together. Check out the iPhone Speakers / B&W Zeppelin video which demonstrates this.

2. Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset

The Plantronics Discovery 925 is the best bluetooth headset I have played with to date. I know, I know there’s a lot of buzz about the new Aliph Jawbone but until I get my hands on one, the Plantronics Discovery 925 is my suggested iPhone bluetooth headset. Also waiting for Blueant’s Z9i to hit my desk!

3. Sennheiser MM iP iPhone Stereo / Mobile Headphones

The first high quality music headset for the iPhone. Upgraded music quality to take and make calls. Tailor-made for the iPhone.

JBL On Stage 200ID

We informed you about the availability of JBL On Stage 400ID here in Mr. Gadget before, so let us give you more info about the product, along with the other new JBL product, JBL On Stage 200ID. Both are high-performance iPod docking stations and loudspeakers with infrared remote controls.

By now, we’re all aware about the iPhone 3G’s battery problem. In fact, its “terrible battery life” made it to the top of our “10 of the Most Annoying Things about the iPhone” list. One way to work around that is through using a battery pack like Dexim’s BluePack.

iPhone

Not that the UK’s Daily Mail is the best source of news on earth, but we can’t ignore a recent report that according to the newspaper was from an “industry source.” The report says that a new “nano” version of the iPhone would be available by Christmas.

digg mobile

Digg, a popular social bookmarking web site, has just launched its new mobile version. The mobile web site is perfect for phones with full web browsing capability such as the Apple iPhone.

I normally don’t like holster cases but this DLO iPhone 3G Leather HipCase is fantastic. Besides the quality leather build, I like the inbuilt card holder! I now have no need for a separate wallet as I store my cards and some money all in the one unit! Wouldn’t recommend storing memory cards though as they may slip through…

It clips securely to my belt and keeps your iPhone 3G in place with the velcro-shut flip cover.

I’m use this on a daily basis and give this full thumbs up! Highly recommend the DLO HipCase for iPhone 3G!

Yippee! Yesterday afternoon Telstra upgraded their mobile data plans! Although not the most generous, it is a major improvement from their previous offerings; I was paying AU$59 for a paltry 200MB! Just got off the phone with Telstra and changed to the new AU$29 plan which gives me 300MB - so basically paying half price and get an extra 100MB. Good times.

Here are the new Telstra mobile data options:

Telstra Mobile Data Packs Aug2008

It’s no surprise that Telstra have finally succumbed to competitive pressures. With 3 and Virgin Mobile coming aboard the iPhone 3G bandwagon, it’d be foolish of them to do otherwise.

Just a thought: could you imagine the buzz that would be created if Telstra created a very well priced all-you-can-eat mobile data plan? There would be dancing in the street!

I’m admittedly not one of the most careful people on earth. Scratching a mobile phone’s display is practically second-nature to me; smashing it completely, a close second. Brando sheds a ray of hope for clumsy people like me who own an iPhone 3G.
