July 1st,2008

If you drive a car and live in California, or plan on visiting, you need to get a bluetooth headset for your cell phone before July 1st, 2008.
Otherwise get caught using your mobile phone without a hands free device and get penalized.

Heres the lowdown:

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed legislation that prohibits the use of handheld mobile phones while driving in the state.

Effective July 1, 2008, the legislation prohibits drivers from using a wireless telephone while operating a motor vehicle unless the driver uses a hands-free device. Drivers who violate the law will face a base fine of $20 for a first offense and $50 for each subsequent offense.

The law allows drivers to use a wireless telephone for emergency purposes, drivers of commercial vehicles to use push-to-talk phones until July 1, 2011, and allow drivers of emergency response vehicles to use a cell phone without a hands-free device.

California joins Connecticut, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, New York, and some local jurisdictions in prohibiting the use of handheld mobile phones while driving.

Or you can get this one. haha, I would rather not make a call while driving if I could avoid a ticket and using this device.

Go get the iPhone bluetooth, it works great AND its sexier then a walk on the beach in a speedo.

iPhone 3G

Sleeker,Smoother,Faster,Sexier,More Attractive,GPS & its Cheaper!!!???
Where do I sign up to sell my current iPhone to China and pick up this new 3G version and maybe make a profit?
Unfortunately, I don't think it will be that easy and I'm guessing someone in China won't want my 8 month old iPhone dropped 3 times when there is a quicker one just around the corner still in the box! Looks like Apple won't be offering rebates/refunds for the 1st generation buyers either... From my perspective, we're getting kinda screwed over... we paid more and got less... what is Apple teaching their buyers? Don't buy it this time around, it will only get better AND sell for half price!!!


Should I hold off on the 3G and wait for the 4G to sell for $99? Or should I take advantage of the 3G's new GPS and 2.4x faster internet?

Still debating with my own brain.
Don't forget Californians! All of us need blue tooth devises if we're going to talk on the phone while driving, this will be in effect July 1st! So thats another $100 to plan for.

Apple, if your reading this... give out a rebate for your old faithful iPhone users, don't punish us, we've been plugging your products for as long as we've used them. I alone am responsible for getting over 10 people to switch to iPhones. Give us a rebate!
