Giving thanks for the Jesus phone
O2 forum member anthonyb has created a wonderful piece of iPhone-blasphemy to the tune of the Lord’s Prayer. Enjoy. “Our Steve, which art in Cupertino, hallowed be thy IPhone; thy corporation come; thy will be profitable, in 22 countries as it was in the first 6. Give us this day our 16GB. And forgive us our Google Android, as we forgive them that install Windows against you. And lead us into an expensive contract; but deliver us from Bill Gates. [For thine is the... Read More
Apple breeds new race of international iPhone salesmen
Wanna see something creepy? Not quite “dead body” creepy, but up there… In taking a look at the various international iPhone 3G “Guided Tour” videos on Apple’s sites, one thing quickly becomes obvious – In addition to all the R&D time Apple spends on hardware and software, it appears they also have a rather healthy gene-splicing division.  That’s right, it seems Apple has been able to successfully overwrite certain... Read More
And the first iPhone game I buy will be…
Aqua Forest. Take a look at this video and tell me if it isn’t the coolest thing you’ve seen yet demoed on the iPhone/touch. Finally, something truly creative that takes advantage of both the touchscreen and the motion sensor in Apple’s handhelds. This seems like a safe way for me to satisfy not only my inner pyromaniac, but my inner carpenter and fireman as well. Now I’m just a police officer and Indian Chief away from the Village People. In addition... Read More
O2 responds: “You thought the online launch was a mess, wait ’till you try to buy the iPhone in one of our stores!“
Faithful UK Macenstein reader Steven Haskayne, frustrated over O2’s bungled online iPhone 3G pre-sale earlier this week, fired off a nasty letter to O2’s CEO, Matthew Key with a few choice words. O2’s response, posted in its entirety below, leaves us thinking those hoping to waltz into one of O2’s brick and mortar stores and pick up a 3G iPhone may want to start lining up now, just like their sweaty US counterparts (hey, at least it isn’t 90 degrees...

OMFG!! A ROUNDER HOME BUTTON!!!
In these the days of insane over analysis of all things iPhone, we find it odd that this one seems to have slipped under the radar. The recent photos from Gizmodo of the new 3G iPhone displays hitting Apple stores show a clearly “rounder” white shape on the home button than that found on either the 1st gen iPhone, or Apple’s 3G renderings on its site. Today’s leaked pictures of the 3G iPhone in the wild seem to imply the home button is indeed the same... Read More
Does Apple need to come clean about the 3G iPhone’s price?
I was in the Apple Store this weekend picking up my 3rd set of replacement iPhone earbuds (I gotta start checking my pants before washing them). As the Apple Store dude “checked me out” (meaning rang up my purchases, not mentally undressed me with his eyes) he noticed the earbuds and struck up a conversation: “Hey, you have the iPhone?”. “Yep,” I replied. (I’m quite the conversationalist). “How do you like it?” “I... Read More
The 3G iPhone purchasing checklist – don’t wait in line without it!
Thinking of buying a 3G iPhone? Well, it won’t be quite the brainless affair that buying the 1st gen model was. Here’s some helpful hints a little birdy told us for all of you planning to waste your lives show your Apple pride by waiting in line for the device: – Have your social security number and government ID ready (that means license or equivalent, NO SCHOOL IDS), Apple will be doing credit checks and in-store activation through Easypay – You have...

Once again, the Brits prove to be, rational, civilized people while we Americans act like a bunch of whooping, sweaty monkeys
Faithful UK Macenstein reader Steven Haskayne has noticed that O2 has begun taking online pre-orders for the new 3G iPhone. While some idiots here in America have already begun lining up in front of various Apple Stores, O2 is allowing their customers to maintain their dignity and painlessly receive their iPhones via the mail, guaranteed to arrive on the July 11th launch day with FREE delivery. No mandatory in-store activation, no huge, sweaty, unwashed lines. Just order the... Read More
Let’s hope FOX NEWS doesn’t release a 3G microphone this July
On the 1 year birthday of the iPhone, we thought a trip down memory lane was in order. Remember all the craziness surrounding the iPhone’s initial launch? Big crowds, professional line-sitters, street magicians pretending their iPhone had X-Ray abilities? Well, for me what sticks out as the craziest moment of the launch was when FOX NEWS anchor Laura Ingles was mugged while interviewing Newsweek‘s Steven Levy (who was showing off one of only four iPhones known to be...
