iPhone 3.0 for iTouch 1G ????

i've been waiting eagerly for what's new on the new iphone 3.0 sw ( beyond the cut-n-paste feature that was strangely missing from earlier iphone/itouch's.)

Well- so come Mar 18th ( TODAY) 3.0 is out!! 

since i still have the old iTouch 1G ( which i sadly found out after digging out an old article from engadget), there will be quite a few features that i will not be able to access and experience. 

features that anyone with Iphone 1G should be able to access: 

1) 1000+ new API's - i seriously feel that will really give Apple an even more hard to catch up lead over the others, as the new API's will only translate to a plethora of new applications that consumers will chomp on from day 1. most  of them should work on iPhone 1G.

2) 'shake' features added to email/notes clients, should work on 1G

one of the major features that iphone 1G users will not  be able to access is the A2DP BT streaming as the 1G does not have the HW that the 2G has :( As one of my friends would say "WHAT A CRAP"

curious case of pirated movies!!

Terrorists win by watching Pirated movies?

Is it true? really? Nah, cant be, right???
that was my reaction when somebody questioned my recent acquisition of western movies that i was dying to watch, but could not find them in any of the stores in bangalore.

its easy to forget how effortless it is to purchase movies when you can hop-skip-jump to a walmart, target, best buy, circuit city(oops, they shut. CRAP) in the US.

its much much harder to buy these originals in lesser privileged societies, such as ours. And i am not just talking about availability, but also purchasing power.

On reading the article below, however i felt little better about what i had done, and stopped feeling bad for the poor production houses that need to protect their investments.

my personal opinion is that as long as the movies on DVD are priced same in every region of the world, people will resort to buying cheaper rip offs. ever wonder why torrent is mostly used by non-americans for movie downloads??
