Apple last week previewed the iPhone 3.0 software, highlighting new features and making iPhone developers realize they won't be sleeping much until the new operating system is released. This issue also focuses on interesting new products: we look at the resuscitated EMC Retrospect 8 and Bare Bones Software's clever WeatherCal. In other news, the latest AirPort firmware may solve lingering Time Capsule problems, Sony receives 500,000 free public domain ebooks from Google, Kodak starts charging for its free service (which may not be as bad as it sounds, according to Glenn Fleishman), and Adam points out Guy Kawasaki's new MyAlltop service. Other software releases worthy of brief mention this week include Espresso 1.0, PDFpen 4.1.1, and Apple's Mini DisplayPort to VGA Firmware Update.
