Last weekend was an iPhone and iPod Touch weekend. People all around the world lined up to buy their new iPhone 3G. By ‘all around the world’ I meant, ‘the countries that Apple is selling its iPhone 3G’. Malaysia not included.

However with the coming of the new iPhone 3G, it also means that new iPhone and iPod Touch firmware is available. I spend the last weekend waiting, upgrade iTunes, waiting, updating my iPod Touch, browsing the iTunes app store, downloading and trying out apps.

Read all about it over at MyMacBUZZ. Also incase you haven’t yet found out, iTunes Store is now available in Malaysia. Only apps are for sale no music or video catalog.
