@nish_higher,
You are both right and wrong at the same time. Yes, you do need an adapter for headphones with built-in mics but you can plug in and use any 3.5mm headphone with the iPhone 3G and do the listening part.

iPhone 3G allows standard 3.5mm headphones to be plugged in without the need for any adapter. That's it. Whoever disagrees with me is just plain wrong.

Yesterday I was getting stupid speeds of 60-70kBps but now after connecting Time Capsule to the nearest access pint through ethernet and creating a new 5Ghz network I am getting 150+ kBps speeds on my 1 M unlimited connection.Hey it is reaching 200 now!200+ now!WTF!The netgear router is running at 2.4 Ghz and so are the access points.Will TC give me a 5Ghz network?Whatever ,I am getting 200 kBps speeds.I am supposed to get 120kBps or os on this conn but this is insane!
Dude, that's the speed of transfers on your local Wi-Fi network, not over the Internet.

iPhone 3G will allow any headphone in its jack. I was curious to know if iPhone will allow EP630 or not, as I plan to buy EP630 in a week.
Yes, iPhone 3G will allow you to use it without the need for any adapter.

Go to any Apple Authorised Reseller and you can get a 12.5% flat discount on any Mac notebook purchase if you are enrolled in one of the qualifying universities. You'll need to visit an Apple Authorised Reseller or Apple Premium Reseller to know more details.

The Macbook has as good as NO configuration when compared to those offered by Dell or HP. The Pro has some more options. Wasn't aware of that, been some time that I visited the Apple store. Thanks for updating me. :)

Wow, you've had the iPhone for a few months and you're only discovering those things now!

Why two?

yea i was talking about iphone standard.
Even the original iPhone fits regular 3.5mm headphones. It's just that it's recessed and most headphone jacks can't properly plug into it. That's what you need the adapter for, not the 4mm thing. :)

anyways i need a new macbook pro now.the problem is apple india online store does not have an option to configure ur own model (correct me if i'm wrong but i checked yesterday and couldn't find that). so how do i build my config?
You call the Apple Authorised or Premium Reseller you intend to purchase it from and ask them for the built-to-order configuration.

Qualified universities include state universities?? I mean I'm in Himachal Pradesh University. I think that should be covered under it..
Again, you need to ask those guys. I have no idea.

@Aayush,see this!

No, it doesn't.

And does iMac have 64 Bit Core2Duo?
Yes, it does.

Is there anything like 64 Bit OS X?
Mac OS X comes in only one version and it's 64-bit.
