Nevermind. Seems like launch day is still Friday.

Quoted: Introducing iPhone 3G. With fast 3G wireless technology, GPS, support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G puts even more amazing features in your hands. And just like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one —a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device

Quoted: Google has unveiled a web-based version of its Google Talk instant messaging client specifically built for the iPhone. Quite simply: It’s amazing — but it has limitations.

Sigh. I checked earlier tonight in fact for an iPhone optimized version of MSN's Web Messenger. No luck. If there's not a Live Messenger client in the App Store on day one, I am going to be pissed.

Quoted: Because Google is providing so many of its resources to T-Mobile to ensure it has a phone ready to go by the end of this year, a Google Android phone from another carrier, Sprint, is likely pushed until next year. Likewise, China Mobile could see a launch of its first Android phone pushed into 2009.

Both Sprint and China Mobile are also said to want to make their own branded version of the platform, something which will take more time and resources. Sprint also is unsure about whether to push forward with a device that works on a 3G network, or simply wait until the 4G networks are ready to go.

I think Scoble might, in fact, be using the old version of the Google Reader for iPhone. The new one lets you share easily without a navigation. You do have to actually read the post before you share it (usually a good idea), but the click to view a post makes it appear inside the main list. No navigation required. The share / unshare link is an ajax method located at the footer of the post. This doesn't cause a navigation as it did in the first version. Also, you can now see All Posts, not just new ones. Nice improvements.

Quoted: You might like it though. Some of my Twitter friends say that’s how they read all their feeds (I bias my life around sharing feed items, so making me click through items to share makes me mad).

Google introduces mobile image ads now.

Quoted: The mobile ads team is happy to announce the launch of mobile image ads. These look like standard image ads for desktop web pages but they are smaller to fit on mobile screens and they run on the mobile content network

Quoted: "We mirror your mobile phone to the Web and it allows users to be able to access, manage and share all of their phone content," explains Chief Executive Ford Davidson. "It is one view of their mobile phone. Any picture that is captured automatically uploads, so it removes the hassle of users trying to figure out how to get their media content from the phone to the Web."
