You probably already heard that the iPhone 3.1 update is out, and you are probably wondering if you should update your phone. I found this great article that walks you though this update and what you should expect from it.

In the end, there are some bug fixes an enhancements. My guess is that there will be another update later this month to accommodate the new MMS messaging being released by AT&T on September 25th. MMS you say? Hmm. You will be able to add media to your texting, yup!

I upgraded my machine to Mac OS X, version 10.6. Still poking around, but I'll be making a list of cool things to check out. Since my primary duties are in messaging, I'll start with some observations about the new Mail, Calendar and Address Book updates.

Replacing your iPhone just got a whole lot cheaper.

Maybe your one of the many people who have accidentally dunked your iPhone, and after panic set in, you dried it out and found that it started back up. Then after a few weeks, you realize that it just isn't the same phone anymore and it needs to be replaced.

The policy had been that you would have to either pony up the $599 for a new phone or cancel your conract, or some other undesirable scenario. Now there is a better option to replace your iPhone.
