For some of the world, the much anticipated wait for the new 3g iPhone is almost over…

For some lucky users, the wait is already over, take a peak at the images of the new iPhone 3g that was leaked to the public.

I know this is probably close to being “in poor taste”, but who is to say what you can or cannot find funny.

This brilliant comic was done by the guys over at JoyOfTech.com – Thanks guys!

The accelerometer of the new Apple iPhone 3G is able to measure motion on three axes (I sure hope that’s the plural of axis) and developers can use the data communicated by the iPhone to write applications that make use of how you operate and move the phone.

This opens up a whole new host of avenues for developers to make games that immerse the gamer in a real-time struggle with the phone to bop and weave around racetracks and to avoid baddies and danger.

For those of you who are interested in the more serious aspect of the accelerometer, the iPhone’s calculator function has been improved over the previous generation of iPhone where users can now tilt the iPhone sideways in order to make use of a scientific calculator function.
There are obviously many more benifits, like being able to view pictures according to their portrait / landscape aspect ratio and the benifits of using a wider view when making use of websites.
