Here is the question that I love to ask about new products. Considering that iPhone 3G is a near perfect gadget, if you were Steve Jobs and had the choice to only add one feature to the iPhone 3G to make it stand out among the competition next year, what would it be and why? Very interested to hear your thoughts.

According to real or fake Steve Jobs, only 2% of iPhones have been affected by the glitches that many consumers are complaining about. 2% is still a significant number considering the number of iPhone 3G that Apple has sold, but the real or fake Steve Jobs has reassured one lucky customer that software fix is on the way. MacRumors has the story.

That seems to be the rumor on the net now. As you may have experienced in the past few days, iPhone has had numerous connection issues which now BusinessWeek confirms is a hardware issue and not software. The Infineon chip is the guilty part behind the connection issues that some of us have experienced this week. BusinessWeek does claim that Apple will attempt to fix the issue with a software update, but if it comes down to a hardware remedy, it will truly be a disaster. Let’s hope it doesn’t come down to that.

I never thought we could get to this point this early. iPhone 3G is a great device and to be honest, I am tired of BlackBerry and the whole interface. Having said that, companies encouraging employees to iPhone is a huge surprise for me. A few companies have started this trend, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it gained momentum. I know how jealous I was when Apple gave iPhone to all employees, but what seems crazy a year ago wouldn’t surprise me today (full disclosure: I can’t name the companies that are in the process of implementing the policy yet but they are in the financial industry).

BestBuy has announced that they will be selling iPhones online starting September 7. One would hope that we would get the 3G iPhone on Amazon as well, but currently the goal is to offer the iPhone to retailers who have physical presence. It’s still good to have the option to go to BestBuy intead of the AT&T store though.
