What's on your iPhone?

[imomus]

Sorry, no proper update today because I've been writing my next Wired column. It's about how Apple makes me cry... with joy, of course, even when they're announcing their version of gadgets I've already declared the spawn of Satan. I don't say I'll actually relent and buy a cell phone now, but I'm inclined to say that one reason I had to hate the things was simply that Apple hadn't made one yet, and therefore there just wasn't one inspiring enough to splash out on.

Anyway, imagine you're holding your iPhone now (rather than June, or whenever it's released near you). What mp3 will you play on it? Why, this one, of course. Jona Bechtolt's France Culture show featuring friends of Blow.

That would be too easy! We have to make it all "educated" sounding and all.

We have to wax poetic about the universal implications of cell phones, and how they ruin human existence by separating us from each other... and all that jazz. Or we could just enjoy shiny new toys. Either way.

BUY BUY BUY


You honestly don't think Apple could keep its reputation for being incredibly environmentally unfriendly if it didn't release gewgaws like this. I hear that the iPhone case will be made out of whalebone and baby seal teeth!


I won't buy an iPhone, but I think they're pretty innovative.


Good point, Mr. Cash.

I couldn't buy one of these supposedly whale-bone(HAHA) phones for quite some time. Too expensive. Plus, I already have a good camera, a mac, an ipod and a cell phone. So, the bases it tries to cover are all covered.

I did find out more about the abilities of the thing though. It seems it's not quite as powerful as we had hoped. Here's the linik:
