I have already mentioned some pros and cons of the new iPhone, but since it is the talk of the month, I will just have to write a bit more on the subject. So here is something I did not know. The 8G version of the new iPod only comes in back. The 16G version come sin both black and white. However, the backing is plastic as opposed to the older one which had a metal back. This is in order to cut costs but the question is what will happen to the device in the long run. Another improvement which I was not aware of, is the fact that they replaced the earpiece jack with a standard one so that you can use any earphones with the iPhone.
