Well, “ilounge”:http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/news/comments/live-iphone-3g-vs-iphone-comparison-test-results-here/ has a good first review set: * The White 16GB is going to be much cleaner with fewer fingerprints than the black one.

Zenphoto
OK, finally flopped Nextgen Gallery for ZenPhoto even though I can’t get the widget to work. But, let’s try integration. First, you should see a “Photos”:https://tongfamily.com/zenphoto button now at the top. You do need a password to see anything though 🙂 But to get it to actually integrate into the blog is the trick.

Fotki vs. Zenphoto vs. Nextgen Gallery
I’ve been trying to figure out for quite a while what the best photo gallery is.
