Read iPhone 3G reviews

You can’t go wrong with Mossberg, Pogue, and Baig.

While most people are waiting in line for their soon-to-be new friend, pal and everyday communications device, the world’s top tech reviewers have already been playing with the long awaited device. TUAW

Say thanks to Vista

This also reminds me of my coworkers who are installing XP over their Vista-powered laptops.

“Thus far, user satisfaction ratings for Vista have been weak, and startup times for Vista have been known to be much slower than the Mac OS X,” Bachman said in the article. “Thus, more than 50% of recent customers buying Macs in Apple retail stores are first-time buyers.” TUAW

Take a look at the iPhone 3G

That’s already one oily looking iPhone 3G right there!

If you’re a prospective iPhone 3G buyer, get ready to make a mess of your keyboard, desk, and any nearby objects that may be hit by spittle flying out of your mouth. Engadget

Read an ebook

The last ebook I’ve read was Michael Crichton’s Next for the Sony Reader. It’s been years since I’ve read an ebook on a Palm device. Hopefully, Legends will succeed on the iPhone / iPod touch.

ZappTek plans on partnering with “today’s hottest writers” to distribute new fiction using Legends to bring the reading experience to iPhone / iPod Touch 2.0. Each book appears as an icon on the Home screen, and the books automatically re-open to the last page you were reading. You can also bookmark or annotate any page. TUAW

Get a Steve Sleeve


From my favorite bag company for my favorite laptop…

Built from 100% recycled PET (plastic bottles) and designed to fit your Air like a glove, the Steve Sleeve is not your average envelope. Welded seams, a soft, biodegradable TPU liner, recyclable Polyester button, and Timbuk2’s quality guarantee, this is a high performance green machine. Timbuk2 Bags

Play games with the iPhone

I was surprised at how powerful the iPhone could be for gaming. Is it July 11 yet?

The iPhone offers the most screen real estate and arguably the fastest processor of the lot. But while Apple’s device is dramatically more powerful than the DS for both graphics and number crunching, the PSP’s graphics engine has substantially more polygon pushing power than the iPhone’s MBX Lite–VGP or no. And while outclassed in this area of the PSP’s particular strength, we look to the iPhone’s unique combination of Wii (accelerometer) and DS (touchscreen) controls along with the unprecedentedly approachable App Store to make it every bit as significant a mobile games platform as Sony’s offering, moving forward.
