People were still willing to wait in line for hours Friday afternoon outside the downtown San Francisco Apple store, as employees assured them sufficient supply of the iPhone 3G lay inside. The line for the iPhone 3G at 4 p.m. in San Francisco was almost as long as it was earlier in the day: stretched down Stockton Street and around the corner onto O'Farrell.

♦ Sling Media announces iPhone client on the way

All the WWDC rumors may be focusing on the new iPhone hardware we may see tomorrow. If you ask me, though, the far more compelling (expected) release is the iPhone 2.0 firmware and iPhone App Store. I'm more jazzed about iPhone software than new hardware, and tonight's announcement from Sling Media is a great example of why. Purveyor of an Internet-streaming peripheral called the Slingbox...

Almost as soon as the iPhone SDK was announced, the focus shifted from web application development to the development of native iPhone applications. But, there are still some instances where a full-blown iPhone app isn't necessary or isn't the best way to go.

Buzz about the next version of the iPhone began before even the original iPhone was released just over a year ago. Although the EDGE-capable "2G" iPhone ended up being a smash success during its one-year reign, critics wanted a 3G version from the very beginning. And so Apple giveth.
