Free Wi-Fi access from AT&T on the iPhone?

More like "now you see it, now you don't"?

Or more like, "let's try it for a while and see" -- or maybe "we can change our mind and nobody will notice" -- maybe before the days of blogs and instant communications and publishing that might have held true, but not any more.

The Apple iPhone 3G is now a week old and what a week it's been!

How about this for out of the box -- 1 million sold in the first weekend!  

And now I'm wondering how sales kept up through the week ...

But yikes! Now there's a shortage!

I've written about T-Mobile's VoIP blocking shenanigan's here, here, and here.  Not to mention their blocking of MinuteWatcher for tracking cellphone minute usage.

Anybody remember the big noise about 3D virtual worlds and how they are going to change our lives forever?

Well, that may still be true today, but how about the big time scam -- and big time bucks lost -- with "Second Life"?

The Wall Street Journal covers this very nicely and then takes us into the future for where we might be headed.

I know it's still early days in the history of the iPhone 3G, but with a million sold already (and steadily counting!), wanted to find out what some of the most popular iPhone 3G apps are.

Now I could go to some other places and get the Top 10 or Top 25 list, but I wanted to get some direct feedback from you.

Do you have a favorite that you can't believe you lived without until now?

Not that anyone can't write about anything at any time (particularly as bloggers), but we already covered how the computer mouse may become extinct anytime soon -- ah, about a week ago.

In a rare move, Microsoft is now offering free unlimited installation and compatibility support for Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 1 (SP1). This even includes FREE phone support!

So fear not upgrading or installing Vista SP1 - Microsoft's got your back!

Note: Chat and e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada.

This support for SP1 is valid until March 18, 2009.
