I called it two days ago when I said that Mossberg would be the first to get the iPhone. He got the jesus phone this morning, and already showing it off in public. I was under the impression that there’s an explicit rule between Apple and A-listers with early access is that this kind of behavior is not permitted. Then again, this is Mossberg we’re talking about – right? None of these rules apply.

MY iTablet conducted a simple survey asking visitors what Mossberg will say about the iPhone. An overwhelming majority voted the response “I love the iPhone!”. While he didn’t really say that, he did make the following comment.

And I can tell you that in the first hour it works a little better than I thought, but I'm still not sure it works as well as a regular keyboard—and the first hour is not a very fair test, so I'm going to keep going at it.

Getting the iPhone 18-days before launch is just mind blowing!
