We knew it was coming, we just didn't know when. Well starting today, you can now pick up an iPhone 3G at Best Buy — the
first independent US retailer to carry the iPhone 3G. And supposedly you'll be able to get your phone and email setup for free, in-store as well (you can currently only get this at the Apple retail stores), that is if you purchase one of the four accessory packages (starting at $106).

If there has ever been a year to vote, this would be the one to do it. Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, obviously
CitizenSugar has you covered on the details, but Election 08 is a handy little app to have in your pocket as well.
For only a buck at the
App Store, Election 08 shows you real time results from polls about who is winning each state, and electoral vote estimates on who will take the General Election. Which of course, will either be a helpful tool to keep you informed, or cause you to go totally OCD from checking it every five minutes.

Just because you're not a "somebody," that does not mean you have to miss
Fashion Week. No sirree.
If you're a somebody with an iPhone or iPod Touch, you can simply download
Style.com's new app from the iTunes App Store and watch the runway shows on your phone, starting Sept.

I'm not really sure where the iPhone is in this picture of
Renée Zellweger from this week's issue of
US Weekly.
All I see is a
BlackBerry Curve, but maybe I need to get my eyes checked.
Tech patrol at US must have been having a very long day.

There's often times when my friends send me a SMS with really important info and I end up deleting it when I go on my SMS-deleting binges. Usually it's an address, phone number, or name of a store or restaurant that I wish I would have saved or at least emailed to myself. For iPhone owners, there's this fantastic site called
You Archive It that will store all your SMS messages online, and for free.

Although I've listed tons of new case options, there are still some of you that want something specific. Take Geek reader
millarci, for example, when she wrote in to ask about
which iPhone 3G case she should invest in:
I'm in the market for an iPhone 3G case. I prefer something clear, but want something that will protect my iPhone 3G from scratches, smudges, etc.

If you happen to be in Liverpool England and plan to check out the Gustav Klimt exhibition at the Tate Liverpool, you can watch the exhibition's
multimedia tour on your iPhone or iPod Touch. And for those of you who don't have an iPhone or Touch just yet, the museum is providing iPod Touch players to rent as well. You can actually watch it from anywhere, but the iPhone podcast was created to enrich the experience for those visiting the actual exhibition.

Oh Stephen, you never cease to amaze me with your geeky toys and
Dance Dance Revolution Dance-Off competitions. I'm not surprised you've already scooped up a new
black iPhone 3G, but you never told me you were such a
Sex and the City fan?. I'm actually impressed you've pimped out your phone with such a signature ringtone.
