It's just metal and plastic!

Here's a picture of the line outside the Apple Store here in Manhattan that I got from Gizmodo. Damn... Maybe with a twinge of jealousy I say this but "it's not worth it!" Not because the IPhone isn't worth it but because the first gen isn't worth it. Apple historically has issues with first gen products. Most notably the first gen IPods and the first gen Macbook Pros. They always go through upgrades, price drops, and design changes within the first 6 months to a year after release. So those people waiting in line are essentially testers of a product almost guaranteed to be outdated within the year. What I see happening is a hard drive bump to at least 10 gigs, a slimmer design, and some unforseen issues tweaked out... as well as probably better battery life and price drop for 8 gig models. I could see them also adding other hardware features... maybe even GPS. I'm not going to lie... I'm going to be really jealous seeing people with their IPhones but within a couple years I should be rockin a more finished model of the already legendary item.

This online game is pretty entertaining. Its part of the drink milk campaign. I'm a sucker for good graphics.

Take-G Toys

I love these wooden robots from Japanese toymaker Take-G Toys. I wonder how much they is.

Will the IPhone change the world?

I think the IPhone will be bigger then the IPod. In my opinion it shouldn't even be called a phone. It should've been called an IPod and considered a new generation of the IPod. When it's called an IPhone, it suggests that the phone is the main feature and everything else is secondary... which I guess at this point it is. However, in a few years, I think this thing will grow up to be an all purpose device that most everyone will want and have. This is assuming secondary apps will be developed as well as apple's own design team will update as fast as they update everything else. This could quite possibly turn into something that replaces everything that you keep in your pockets... ipod, phone, wallet, keys, etc... Anyway, I plan on getting one sometime. I switched from Verizon to Cingular just to do so... and also because Verizon sucks. I plan to wait maybe a year though.
