First, my applogies for disppearing this past week, but with the Fourth of July holiday and some much needed time off, I had to step away from the blogosphere (how I detest that term) for a while. But fear not, I’m now back in the saddle ready to resume regular news postings and commentary. Look [...]
After a week of using the iPhone and living in Steve’s world, I offer my experiences, opinions, and revelations.
Read on for the full review.
There’s something new and different about the iPhone. Excuse me, about iPhone. Apple has stopped using “the” definite article, taking it from “the iPhone” to just “iPhone”. What does it mean, and why? Well, here are some thoughts:
That Cisco ever owned the copyright is forgotten in terms of brand awareness: Apple [...]
TreoCentral’s Michael Ducker checks in with his thoughts on the iPhone’s hits, misses, and effects on the smartphone market. It looks like he agrees with my impressions on a number of points and, well, I agree with him on a number of points too. It’s so great to see everyone getting along! Now [...]

The screen is absolutely the brightest and richest color LCD I have ever seen on a mobile device. In fact my initial reaction upon powering up the device [...]
A reader sent me the following comment. I have no way of testing this myself, so take it for what it’s worth. If anyone else can verify this process please contact me, or post a comment here immediately.
I accidently figured out how to unlock an iPhone for use without charge from AT&T, but with full [...]
Does the iPhone live up to the hyperbole? Is the device really as cool as it looks? Even more important – is it a practical device to use or just an expensive, but impressive, luxury gadget? I can’t fully answer the philosophical aspects until I’ve used the iPhone for a longer period of time. [...]
Please excuse my absence for the past 24 hours. I am still basking in iPhone afterglow, having spent most of my time heavily engaged in taste testing the Jesus phone, putting it through its paces. Before I get into my impressions of the device (spoiler: It is AMAZING!) I thought I would share my [...]
