If you’re looking to dismantle your iPhone 3G but you’d rather have some pieces slightly larger than dust left over at the end of the process, than iFixit should be your first port of call.  The famed strippers - by which I mean they strip down gadgets to their constituent parts - have already taken out their screwdrivers and splayed out the second-gen iPhone’s guts for all to see.

There’s some good news in there too.  For a start, Apple have learnt from making the iPod Touch and refrained from bonding the glass and the LCD together.  In the original iPhone those two pieces were fixed, making repairs expensive.  The display itself now connects directly to the main board, rather than having numerous other components attached to it.

Further inside, and it turns out that the iPhone 3G’s battery isn’t actually soldered in place.  That’s not quite as useful as a user-replaceable battery, but it does mean that if you’re reluctant to send your cellphone off to Apple and pay them $86 to swap it out, you’ll not need a soldering iron to do it yourself.  If you’re interested in the specific chips used, iFixit are listing them as and when details emerge.

Apple’s MagSafe power cords have probably saved thousands of laptops from untimely impacts — too bad there’s no such insurance policy for the iPhone. Brett Peters’ phone had an unfortunate encounter with his young son and moments later, with the floor, and the result is as you see above. While the screen glass is shattered, Brett was able to lay a piece of clear packing tape on top of the phone and keep all the shards in place. You can see all the photos on Brett’s blog and here on Flickr.

Believe it or not, the phone is still functional; more surprisingly, except for the most seriously damaged spots, the touchscreen still works. Brett is considering a screen replacement via this procedure, but in the meantime I’m sure he’s having a heart-to-heart with his son about the facts of physics. 9.8m/s^2 — it’s not just a good idea, it’s the law

Multimedia designer, Phil Lu, has created some mockups of an iPhone application that he calls “QuickOrder”:

Surprisingly, the mockups were created before the publicized patent application in which Apple explores to-go ordering from the iPhone. The series of images show how such a system might work.

At 9pm tonight I saw the sweetest shot, so I pulled out my iPhone and took an iPhone photo. I just held it atop of my car and got an amazing reflection off of the roof. If it were a 5+megapixel camera, it probably would have looked more amazing, but hey were talking a 2megapixel phone camera. What can your phone do?

If you haven’t been keeping track of the score it is iPhone 4, your phone 0

Sources add that the AT&T iPhone supports Microsoft Exchange servers, adding that Apple has likely licensed Microsoft’s ActiveSync to accomplish that integration.

When asked about corporate email in a USA Today interview, Apple CEO Steve Jobs replied, “You’ll be hearing more about this in the coming weeks. We have some pilots going with companies with names you’ll recognize. This won’t be a big issue.”

Much commentary and speculation has surrounded the topic of the iPhone being a viable smart phone for businesses or whether the device will dominate only the consumer ranks.

The iPhone images show:

-
- Calendar List and Month Views

- Email account setup

- Alarm Clock, Timer, Calculator

- Sim Card Removal

- RSS Reader

- Movie / Cover Flow controls

Somebody  from MobileGuerilla claiming to have found the first photos from an Apple iPhone on the web.

He searched for “taken with an apple iphone” on Google for well over a month now and finally found a set of Flickr images tagged with the phrase. The phrase is automatically generated by Flickr based on the EXIF data from the camera itself.

The Flickr account however belongs to an individual who can be tracked down to a LinkedIn profile which reveals that they are a Program Manager at Apple in the Consumer Electronics industry.
 

Interesting EXIF info from one of the original images, submitted by Bill Baron:

* Camera Make = Apple
* Camera Model = iPhone
* Picture Orientation = rotated 90° (6)
* Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 14/5 = F2.80
* Color Space = sRGB (1)
* Image Width = 1600
* Image Height = 1200
* Unknown tag: Tagnum = 0xa500 ===> data = 11/5
* Compression = JPEG compression (6)
