Apple iPhone 3G stand made from Lego bricks?

Why fork out cash for an Apple iPhone 3G stand when you have an ingenious kid at hand? Stephen Sheehan couldn’t locate the right stand for his Apple iPhone 3G; enter the genius of 8 year old son Patrick Sheehan.

Patrick worked with dad Stephen who lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia to conceive an Apple iPhone 3G stand constructed out of Patrick’s Lego.

Making the Apple iPhone 3G Lego stand took less than two hours to complete and is made from using 40 colourful Lego bricks while Dad worked out how to run the phone cord underneath without off-balancing the Lego stand…ingenious.

Apple has released a minor iPhone firmware update that is supposed to help improve the stability of its Safari browser.

The update should be popping up Wednesday if you connect your iPhone to iTunes. Update 2.2.1 is the first tweak released since Apple added Google’s Street View to the iPhone’s software back in November with the 2.2 release.

Despite the brief list of new features and fixes, this update is just as big as that release, weighing in at 246.4MB. As a result, it’s taking awhile to download and install. I’ll let you know if I encounter any problems, and likewise, please let us know if you experience any issues downloading and installing the update.

Update 11:15am–iPod touch owners had an additional fix as part of the update. Apple fixed an issue with Apple Lossless files that tended to skip during playback, according to The Unofficial Apple Weblog.
