The Ultimate Geek Christmas Card

An anonymous reader writes "CNET reports on the world's most geeky Christmas card, and also the most expensive. The card is made out of a 1st gen iPhone, hacked into a Christmas card using cardboard, paper and glue. The card includes a virtual 'bauble' which uses the iPhone's accelerometer to recreate Christmas decorations that bounce and move with the card. The makers of the card say that because of the iPhone's battery life 'you probably don't want to post it anywhere it will take more than 3 days to arrive.'"

Wow, you have an iPhone

Dude, you used an iPhone, that is definitely such a geek thing to do. Because there is nothing else on the planet that could possibly make you a geek more than an iPhone; geeks are cool.

Indeed. There's no real skill involved in the making of this "geek card" either. Looking at the title you'd expect to see a story about some geek building the thing from scratch and programming it to do whatever task was required. Instead we get two links about some random app with the Iphone glued to a piece of cardboard. The thing looks like a crafts project for the local elementary school.
