All sorts of people are waiting in line at the Cube store, and all of ’em have different reasons for doing so. What are they going to do when they finally get that coveted box home? Videographer Nick McGlynn investigates.
“iPhone Frenzy” [Eds. note: When we saw this live on TV it looked a lot worse. Now that there is video to review, it’s obvious the guy was going for the microphone (listen carefully to the audio).] Newsweek’s Steven Levy, one of the fantastic four of tech journalism, was nearly deprived of his exclusive review…
I need a nap. Adrian the intern is manning our live Justin.TV camera, which has been chronicling the entirety of the SF iPhone campout since 6pm last night. I even had that thing on while I was sleeping. I’ll resume the Brian Lam Dog and Pony show sometime later. For now, I ZZZ. Video: [iPhone…
Do you wish you were hanging out in line at the 5th Ave Apple Store, but are stuck with a pesky job that won’t let you bum around with a bunch of nerds on a weekday? Don’t worry: We’re here for you. Videographer Nick McGlynn takes you on a tour of the exploded nerdbomb that…
Check out this iPhone segment on the Today show this morning. Maybe the iPhone’s not that easy to use after all. Or maybe the problem is between phone and seat. We have to laugh at the mainstream media’s satellite shot, just like from the ’60s, trying to show that the iPhone can make calls everywhere,…
Tired of iPhone posts? Here’s how you can read Gizmodo without ANY of them. [Gizmodo Sans iPhone]
Scenario: You have been waiting in line for three days. You are one of the first with an iPhone. You get it home, walk through the easy iTunes setup and… VOILA! You are rejected for AT&T service because your credit sucks. This is not a joke, it very well could happen. So AT&T is offering…
iTunes 7.3 here for iPhone compatibility (So far, I see a new preferences tab for iPhone showing a list of iPhones to be synced to.) [Apple]
Oh technology, how you’ve failed us. Human progress has come so far, yet is this the best we can do? Cereal straws? Little tubes of Froot Loops that are lined with gross powdered milk? They should call these things Diabetes Helpers; at least then you’d know what you were getting yourself into when you bought…
Here’s the next episode in the iPhone tips series, and this is a group of 10 helpful hints to show you how to make things happen on the JesusPhone. Heck, by the time you get through with these videos, you’ll already know how to completely pwn the thing. The videos will show you how to:…
Look. A girl sensually dancing. She’s pretty. And the music sounds nice. Like a cello, but made with the electromagnetic leaks from the IBM 1401 mainframe memory. And yes, it’s a musical. But it doesn’t have any iPhone around. She’s having sex with a mainframe. Kind of. Anyway, let me repeat: Sexy girl. Sensual dance.…

It’s still a little early for this, but by the time the iPhone rolls out at 6 p.m. it’ll be cocktail hour, and that means it’s time for the Appletini/iPhone edition, better known as the iPhonetini. Created specifically for this auspicious iPhone Day Zero occasion, it originates directly from the self-proclaimed “best home bar in…
Apple has gone live with their full line of iPhone accessories. And here they are: Their biggie? $129 for their bluetooth headset with docking station/charger unit. The headset offers 5.5-hours of talk and 72-hours of standby, and comes with their Dual Dock charger. Their mediumie? The iPhone Dock costs the same amount as the Dual…
Our own Brian Lam was interviewed by The Daily Show’s Rob Riggle last night about his experience with the iPhone, somehow resisting Riggle’s rugged, masculine charm despite some pretty heavy advances. If you missed it on Comedy Central, you can witness the zenith of Brian’s life thus far above. Go Brian go!
Well “explodes” is perhaps a bit harsh, but if you take too long to retrieve your cash monies, the LED fuse lights up and the bomb gets a bit unruly—it starts shaking and then chucks your coinage. If that sounds like your idea of a party (Uncle Scrooge, what?) you can pick one up in…
I love the smell of iPhone in the morning. I got about 3 hours of sleep. Shook like a leaf when I woke, cold, despite the metallic emergency blanket’s insulation. The Justin.tv lifecam is still running and so is my Macbook, thanks to the Wifi (instead of the usual and hungrier EVDO.) But i’ve got…
SF Headcount is 63. If you want to get an iPhone today in SF, I don’t think it’ll be a problem. Yet.
It’s iPhone Day Zero, and there’s hardly anything else going on, so we might as well get knee-deep in iPhone porn. This 3D animated model by Thomas Milvaux certainly fits the bill, letting you fondle and manipulate the coveted communicator in simulated 3D space. You might have to download the 3D XML or 3D Life…
In an interview that mainly covered the virtues of the iPhone, Steve Jobs did admit to the Wall Street Journal that there was one vice: AT&T’s EDGE data network. Called “pokey” by at least two of the four anointed iPhone reviewers earlier this week, the EDGE network is something that even Jobs wishes were “a…
