iPhone 4 video test
[NOTE: I bumped this up from 9:06 AM, since it’s both higher video quality and a more pleasing top-of-the-homepage image than the clip of my ugly mug. 🙂 -ed.]

More iPhone launch day photos
I still owe y’all some more detailed observations/thoughts on my new iPhone, which I’ll try to post at some point soon. In the mean time, here are some more of my photos of iPhone 4 launch day yesterday. They include, of course, shots from my early-morning pilgrimage to the AT&T Store, but also from my two subsequent visits to the… Read more »
Farewell, belt pack
As anticipated, the belt pack camera is gone. Well… okay, it’s not quite “gone”; it’s in my briefcase. But the point is, it’s not on my belt!

The end of an era: retiring the belt pack?

(My 2006 vintage Sprint flip phone takes grainy 640x480s — a marked improvement over my previous, 2003 vintage Sprint flip phone, which took 384x256s.) And, by all accounts, the iPhone’s… Read more »
iPhone rumor/speculation whiplash alert
Cult of Mac, 4:17 AM: “Reality Check: The iPhone’s Not Going to T-Mobile or Verizon Anytime Soon” Cult of Mac, 6:42 AM: “Report: Apple to Ship CDMA iPhone in Fourth Quarter” At this point, I’m rooting for the first story to be true, because if #2 is correct, I’m going to feel like a complete sucker for buying an AT&T-saddled… Read more »
