iPhone 3.0 | Loving Landscape

With the new iPhone 3.0 software release I simply can't stay away from TDL.  I wanted to share my thoughts about one of the new features to grace the iPhone with the new software release.  I still have the original iPhone (gasp) so I'm going to focus on one of the enhancements for all iPhones with this release.  Really the title of this post totally stole my thunder . . . yes you guessed it - landscape mode.  If you're following me on twitter (@adamgford) you know that I've mentioned that I like landscape mode, but let me tell you why.

Because it makes everything better!!  Email - better in landscape.  Apps - better in landscape.  Stocks - higher gains in landscape.  Well, the last point isn't really true, but I highly encourage you to try out your favorite Apple apps in landscape because most now support it.  You should also update your 3rd party apps because they've likely been updated to support a landscape mode, especially if there's text involved.  I know the MMS, camera enhancements, cut, copy and paste (more to come on this one) have stolen the show, but lets not forget about landscape . . . if we don't show it love who will.

iPhone 3.0 Software Download Now Live

We've got the 3.0 software downloading now through iTunes. What? You thought we already had it through other means? Pish posh!

Hang in There a Little Longer...

Found at Hubpages.comIt looks like the iPhone 3.0 software will be available around 1PM ET, according to Engadget. Just in the interest of being contrarian and optimistic, we say give it a go around noon ET.

And if you get it, let us know, either in the comments, or on twitter @TDLLive .

Oh, and if you post video to YouTube, we really want to know to add it to the video loop.

Video Shows the Possible Future of iPhone Gaming

Kudos to Macrumors for sharing this Youtube video  It shows the fascinating melding of real-life with gaming elements, and rather than being a scene from a sci-fi movie, it shows what could become possible as soon as June.

Assuming the new iPhone has video capability, and more importantly, a higher-resolution camera, we could soon be playing games incorporating our surroundings, or using applications to learn about the things we see right in front of us. It's official: we're living in the future.
