Mike Elgan: Jobs Blew iPhone Keynote
We know you're all sick of our fawning over the iPhone, so in the interest of something different, we bring you Mike Elgan's rundown of how the iPhone announcement was less than picture-perfect. He's totally unbiased, as the former editor of Windows Magazine. In sum, Mike lists the screwups of his Steveness as: More »

iPhone Reactions From CES: The Joy of Competition
The iPhone: We love it. You love it. Everyone loves it. Except for maybe the phone makers that now have to stack up to it. We decided to hit the CES show floor to see what some reps from other makers had to say about the Jesus phone and how they plan on dealing with the Second Coming. Quotopia after the jump. More » -

How Will the iPod be Affected by the iPhone?
One thing that seems to have gotten lost in the fray with all this iPhone hullabaloo is what is going to happen to the iPod now. Sure, the iPhone is a phone mixed with an iPod, but not everyone wants to spend $600 and get a phone/tablet with their music player. Apple has spent so much time and money getting TV shows and movies into the ITMS there's no way they won't release a new, high capacity multimedia player with the same slick widescreen format for people who don't want to make the jump to the iPhone.

iPhone Oddsmodo: The Chances Cisco will Destroy Apple in Court

Apple iPhone Papercraft Model
A faithful reader by the name of Matt J. made a papercraft iPhone for you to print out and assemble at home with some scissors, scotch tape, and a little love. Maybe you can use it as a case for your nano/phone until June when the real deal comes out.

Rumor: 3G iPhone Coming
According to an engineer who worked on the network/radio for the iPhone, there's a good reason Apple didn't have 3G in this iteration of the iPhone. He says less than 1% of Cingular customers have HSDPA capability—it's only available in a dozen or so markets. Plus, the engineer says the target users wouldn't know the difference anyway. Great confidence in the consumer, even if it's sorta true. More »

Windows Mobile 5 Already Does What the iPhone Does

Gizmodo iPhone Hands On Part Deux: Why Isn't it White and Other Questions
When we got our sweaty palms on the iPhone, we weren't allowed to take photos for our usual gallery. But we got a Q&A with Apple's VP of Applications, Eddie Cue, and Senior VP of Worldwide Marketing, Phil Schiller. (Otherwise known as the guy who does iSight convos with Steve-O at every Apple event.)

Gizmodo iPhone Hands-On: I Called My Mommy
Apple just gave us 15 minutes with the iPhone. To be frank, I was surprised — Apple doesn't usually grace us with this kind of love. I guess they liked our iPhone posts from last month. The legends say Woz and Steve love to pull pranks.

Axiotron ModBook—Not the Apple Ultraportable We Wanted, But We'll Take It
As psyched as we were to see the unveiling of the Jesus phone at today's Macworld Expo, we were very bummed at the absence of an ultraportable Mac. Luckily for us, Axiotron outted their new ModBook Mac Tablet. The chrome-plated magnesium tablet sports a 13.3-inch Wacom LCD and has similar specs as the current MacBook Pros. It runs OS X and uses it's handwriting recognition to let you scribble on the screen. From the image, it also looks like it might be sporting a webcam. And just like Apple, the ModBook is expensive, starting at $2,279. More » -

iPhone Fakes: A Walk Down Memory Lane
The announcement at long last of the Apple iPhone today marks the end of an era. For well over a year now there has been rampant speculation about Apple's then-rumored foray into the cell phone field, with everyone wondering what kinds of magical features Steve Jobs and company would bring to the table. That meant product mockups, and lots of 'em. Some tried to pass themselves off as leaks and some came right out and said they were just for fun. The one thing that they all have in common? None of them are anywhere near as cool as the real deal. Nice work, Apple. More » -

Steve and Woz, BFF Again?
I read somewhere I don't have time to google now, that Steve and Woz had a falling out. In the keynote, there was a photo of Steve and Woz, and then Steve told that Woz story about their pranks, giving most of the credit to Woz. (Something that's been disagreement about in the past.) Then, on the way down to the showfloor, I caught Woz on a segway, looking very happy. Steve and Woz, BFF! More »

Cisco Is Expecting "Signed Agreement" On iPhone Trademark Today
Cisco, which holds the trademark on the iPhone name, just held a press conference here at CES to announce that they distributed an agreement to Apple last night, and that they expect it to be signed today. For those who aren't up-to-speed on this kerfluffle, we learned just before Christmas that Cisco owns the trademark for the iPhone, and is in fact going to sell a product under that name. Looks like that may change after today. Here is the full press release:Given Apple's numerous requests for permission to use Cisco's iPhone trademark over the past several years and our extensive discussions with them recently, it is our belief that with their announcement today, Apple intends to agree to the final document and public statement that were distributed to them last night and that addressed a few remaining items. We expect to receive a signed agreement today.

Apple's New AirPort Extreme No Longer Shaped Like a Boob
While everyone's eyes were transfixed on the new iPhone (and we can't blame them), Apple's new AirPort Extreme quietly slipped through the cracks making it straight into the store without being noticed. So what's new? For starters, it's an 802.11n base station, meaning it's 5x faster as the previous Base Station and delivers greater range. It's got a WAN port, three Ethernet ports, and a USB port (that allows you to hook up some hard drives). Unfortunately, Apple gave up the plump white boob look for a flat Mac Mini-like design. Why, Apple, why? You can pre-order your flat-chested AirPort now for $179 (it'll ship in February). Push-up bra not included.
