UK Retailer Taking RSVP for the Apple iPhone

Posted on 22 January 2007 by

Something smells fishy with this picture because it’s a little early for the UK phone retailer, Carphone Warehouse (CPW) to be taking registration info from future iPhone owners. The site is showing a launch date of December 2007. CPW could be fishing for info, so I’d think twice before giving the site your name, address and the carrier ... continued »

Steve Jobs Introduces the Apple iPhone on Mad TV

Posted on 22 January 2007 by

Another video that got me giggling like a little girl! I have to admit, the guy playing Steve Jobs is a little young and doesn’t look like him at all. I think the audience is the best part of the video. Great job Mad TV! [youtube]p01RjigiYF0[/youtube] continued »

Is Rogers Wireless Apple’s carrier of choice for Canada?

Posted on 22 January 2007 by

I don’t recall Steve saying anything about whether the iPhone was getting released in Canada. So it’s a little premature to guess which carrier will be lucky enough to sell the new iPhone. That doesn’t stop Will Pate from reporting a rumor he heard from a Vancouver Mac shop that Rogers Wireless will be carrying the Apple iPhone ... continued »

What’s a Google Switch [phone]?

Posted on 21 January 2007 by

I’m not sure how Gizmodo and Chad came to the conclusion that this mockup of a tablet looking device is a phone and the folks behind it is Google and Samsung.  However, it’s intriguing.  The tip came in with the words “Google Switch” attached to the image.  The screen is large with few buttons – very similar to the iPhone ... continued »

A condom for your Apple iPhone

Posted on 20 January 2007 by

iPhone Skins is a nice name for the iPhone, but a more direct and to the point name would be “the iPhone condom”.  Think about it, a cover you’d slip on to protect your iPhone.  I believe the iPhone Skins is attempting to do that with their product.  How well it will protect while not affecting the usage of the ... continued »

One man’s opinion of the iPhone’s Virtual Keyboard

Posted on 20 January 2007 by

I know a lot of people bitch, complain and laugh (Steve Ballmer) about the iPhone's lack of a physical keyboard virtual keyboard, but I find Andy Ihnatko’s review very positive and accurate (even though I’ve never laid my mitts on the iPhone – only in my dreams). I think the iPhone’s virtual keyboard is a huge improvement over the mechanical thumbpads ... continued »

Microsoft CEO Ballmer laughs at Apple iPhone

Posted on 19 January 2007 by

I'm going to reserve my comments for now regarding Steve Ballmer's remarks about the Apple iPhone. I want to see who will be laughing (or crying) all the way to the bank in 12 to 18 months after the initial launch of the iPhone. I'm sure Apple is chuckling at how archaic the Zune is compared to the ... continued »
