All Things iPhone
With the iPhone release coming soon there is no shortage of stories being submitted. Here is an overview of all of its features and specifics on its technical workings. A list of applications is out and still growing. There are warnings however that some applications and peripherals won't be ready or compatible in time for the release. Finally with all the hype associated with the iPhone, we have a reminder of some previous Apple products that ended with a whimper instead of a roar.
No, but if you put a MacBook over your crotch, that will cook your eggs.
Will it blend?
let's find out here
I cant WAIT for them to destroy an iPhone.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
Samzenpus is in Australia (where it wouldn't be night right now), it's still the 27th, which is the night before the night before the iPhone is released. That extra "night before" missing from TFS might seem inconsequential, but remember kids-- if you're buying an iPhone, don't get off work early [thurs] TOMORROW night, get off work early on Friday June 29 to get in line in time.
... I am in Australia. Hello from the future. Tomorrow is Friday but the iPhone wont be out until the end of next year in the land of the antipodeans.
Erm, I think I'm supposed to put a "you insensitive clod" in there someplace...
That can be arranged...
I'll be too busy playing with my new copy of the GPL v3 to bother with the iPhone.
This was pretty poor timing by Apple.

For this much hype, you'd think it came with 3 5-star hookers and a brick of cocaine straight from colombia
And even if it did, there would be anti-fanbois that complain that it lacked the necessary rolled c-note to snort the coke and that the Treo 576Whatever843 comes with 5 hookers and certificates guaranteeing them to be disease-free. And the Crackberry has crack instead, and a server that sends you more over a proprietary protocol without the need to go to a dealer to get refills.
I do agree that the post rate for iPhone stories is getting absurd, though. Only 2 more days and the wait will be over... the wait for everyone to stop posting their random idiotic speculation about how good/bad/shiny it's going to be!
Can I get an "Amen"?
goatse much?
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Looking for any excuse again for your kinky sex practices, aren't you.
Man (Eric Idle): You sit here, dear.

Man: Well, what've you got?
Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and iPhone; egg bacon and iPhone; egg bacon sausage and iPhone; iPhone bacon sausage and iPhone; iPhone egg iPhone iPhone bacon and iPhone; iPhone sausage iPhone iPhone bacon iPhone tomato and iPhone;
Vikings (starting to chant): iPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone...
Waitress:
Vikings (singing): iPhone! Lovely iPhone! Lovely iPhone!
I am iPhone, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am iPhone
You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
CHORUS
I am iPhone watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am iPhone
Oh, I am iPhone
I am invincible
I am strong
FADE
I am iPhone
I am invincible
I am strong
I am iPhone
Yeah, scary, a line full of Emo Retards.
Punched? I don't think so. More like some slapping and maybe even some hair pulling...
iPhone? Who cares about the iPhone, already? I want a jPhone, if only for the Schnapps!
Don't forget the obligitory release day stories... I spiked it like a football and it scratched, what a POS! EDGE netwrok overrun by too much iPhone traffiic. iPhone exclusive Flicr group. Dropped my iPhone in the toilet, it still works. Dropped my iPhone in the toilet, it doesn't work. Lifehacker will have their 10 secret features of the iPhone article. Since no one reads manuals no one will notice that it's basically the getting started guide in HTML. Gizmodo... iPhone sells out in one day, geeks enraged. macroumors... Apple iPhone 2.0 sports 3g, 16GB storage and 3rd party apps for $299. Engadget... iPhone DOA return rate unprecidented. And last but not least... IT BLENDS!!!
Platform advocacy is like choosing a favorite severely developmentally disabled child.

1. Camp out for iPhone in an area with a LOT of people waiting. Must be first in line.
2. Buy iPhone at 6PM.
3. Smash it on the pavement in front of everyone.
4. Post video on website and make a bazillion dollars.
They'll probably be too busy crying and writing in their diary (it's the only one who understands them, after all) to much slapping or hair pulling.
"Anyone who had watched the apple tour video can tell you the UI is lightyears ahead of Blackberry, Treo, etc. Even the commercials make this apparent."
The part you missed/ignored is in bold.

Apple makes mistakes. But Apple learns from its mistakes.
Microsoft makes mistakes. Then tells their marketing department to sell them.
