iPhone 4 vs. iPhone 3GS lightsaber battle. Yes, really. Made with the iPhone 4 and iMovie. Deets here.

“And, for obvious reasons, the glass back raises concerns about the iPhone 4’s droppability. With previous iPhones, it was liking dropping a piece of buttered toast — there was a lucky and unlucky side on which it could land. With the iPhone 4, it’s like dropping a piece of toast that’s been buttered on both sides.”

- John Guber, on the dual glass sides of the iPhone.

It truly is frightening.

Tech I Will Not Be Buying

I shall not be buying an Amazon Kindle because I don’t need a device that’s controlled by outside parties. Also, DRM sucks.

I shall not be buying an iPhone because I dislike paying gobs of money for crappy service. I’ll pay a pittance for my crappy service, thank you.

I shall not be buying this Kingston $900 flash drive… yet. When it’s $100 I’m all over that.

Okay, I needed a third thing and that’s all I got.

Tech Peeve: Basic Functions Touted As Revolutionary Advances

I just saw a commercial for the iPhone 3G S that “does some pretty incredible things.” Things like Copying and Pasting. WOW. Where has this technology been all of my life? Oh wait, on every computer I’ve had since I was 10…

Apple, please.

I realize that copy/paste is a new feature on the iPhone, but it’s not an “incredible” thing, it’s a thing that should have been included in the original iPhone. It’s not a complicated process, it’s a basic process. You can’t make people forget that it’s a basic function of most computers and smart phones by producing commercials like this. It will only make you look silly.

How about a commercial that says: Finally, we’ve added copy/paste to the iPhone since we knew you wanted it!

I’m sure the next commercial will be: The new iPhone will wow you with it’s ability to call any number in the U.S.! Wowee!

Dear Apple: WTF Is Wrong With You?

The iPhone and the iPod Touch are NOT netbooks and they also cannot compete with netbooks yet. Sure, if you made them with 9-ich screens you could maybe make a case for it. But right now, you just sound like crazy people with all your talk of “junky hardware” and “cramped keyboards”. Your insistence that an iPhone can do everything a netbook can do is just plain silly. I can’t write a novel on an iPhone — well, not without driving myself crazy and posibly going blind — I can write a novel on my NC10. And I am.

Really, now. Every quarter you just make me lose confidence in your sanity over there.
