For many people the battery life of the iPhone 3G is causing great concern when used with 3G, locate me services, wifi and bluetooth all switched on, sure we can manage the power manually by switching them off when we don’t need them but that can be a pain.

It is touted for availability at the start of August and I am hoping to get one of these in for a detailed review. Full details after the break.
The iPhone Dev Team has just posted a video of what it claims is “the world’s first jailbroken iPhone 3G running our own software.” While true that there have already been jailbreaks for the iPhone 2.0 firmware, this latest “pwnage” represents a big step forward toward a complete solution for users wanting to use the latest iPhone without being required to join with a particular carrier, and run non-Apple-sanctioned applications on the device.

Just watched a video over at the T4 Show of the iPhone application Shazam and I have been playing around with it myself and have to say it is quite amazing. When you hear a song wherever you are and want to know what and who it is, simply load up Shazam, select tag it and let your iPhone listen to the song for about 15 seconds and it will tell you what your listening too.

If you are a new user to smart phones with push email and HSDPA connectivity and have just got your hands on the new iPhone 3G then battery life may be a bit of a shock for you.
