Check this one out. I only wish this was the real deal. I hate the white face. The reason it is a fake: the reflection off the screen is misaligned and the box is not worthy of Apple packaging. Why do people feel the need to photoshop pictures of new Apple products? Do they do this to prove how good they are at photoshop? Do they hate Apple and their consumers so much that they feel it is their responsibility to flood RSS readers with junk? Really? This was not even a good attempt.

Do you think the real iPhone will look like this poorly photoshopped mockery? Would you like a camera in the front for video conferencing? Would Apple consider putting a camera there? Please voice off in the comments section.

Wow. It takes a lot of audacity to sell someone else’s work. We all love the iPhone dev team, but apparently not the man who is selling the Pwnage tool. As if that was not bad enough, he will soon be seeing a lot of Apple lawyers at his door. This consequence comes from the fact that he is trying to sell iPhone firmware 1.2. Amazing! This man has two opposing forces soon to be plotting against him. Check out the video and you will see how he made their (Apple & Dev) job easier by showing his serial number and IMEI, which happen to be right here. Serial: 88811n4x0kh / IMEI : 01 136400 375347.

I think I will just sit back and watch. Go and grab your popcorn, this should be good.

Crazy iPhone fanatics, such as myself, have watched many iPhone commercials before the phone’s release. Ask any of us what time it was on the iPhone (in the commercial), and you will likely merit a swift accurate and response. 9:42 of course! This has been consistent in almost every commercial I have watched. (9:41 has also appeared)

In the newer commercials such as ”bet," this has stayed the same. Frankly, it is kind of scary. When I saw “bet,” the first thing I noticed was the time. I was amazed it had still remained the same for many months. It reminded me of many theories I had heard about the clock.

“What time was displayed?” Ha! That question has a simple answer, but to answer “Why?” requires greater skill. The iPhone was introduced at 9:42 during the Macworld Keynote of 2007. I wonder if the “9:42” developed from this critical introduction, or if it was predestined. Chicken or egg? Many have also suggested that 9:42 refers to a Bible quote, specifically this one. Maybe, the phone just looks nicer with 9:42 displayed. It is possible that… more...

Wendy Cheng is your typical Apple hater. She hates how Apple users think they are superior because their computers are beautiful. She also hates how they act arrogantly towards other ‘PC’ users. Though, it seems as if, all too often this hatred for Mac fanatics is often translated into a hatred for all things Apple.

Wendy recently reviewed an iPhone, or at least thats what she thought it was. It was not until after she finished reviewing it, one of her affiliates told her she was really reviewing the “Fake China iPhone.” Ironically she seemed impressed with the knock-off.

Later when she actually got her hands on the phone she had a hard time operating it; instead of using her finger to scroll, she used her nail. She then goes on to talk about how the sound quality is surprisingly good, but everyone knows that no one cares about music anyways. Wendy says that the phone is only mediocre. This is because the touch-screen is horrible and even though the music feature is nice, no one cares about it.

Today was a great day! Steve gave us our first look at the iPhone SDK and a look at some new features that will be coming with Firmware 2.0. Our iPhone community gets all of this for free. But what about the Touch Community? The Touch has a very similar architecture to the iPhone, so it will be getting the same update. The only difference is the price. iPhone users get the update for free, while Touch users will have to pay a “minimal price.” This price will probably be similar to the $20 for the app package.

Steve must love iPhone users more. Yes, that must be it. Or maybe all of these paid updates will offset the price difference between the two multi-touch brothers. What do you think?

I feel sorry for all the Touch owners who made fun of my iPhone. Oh Wait! No I don’t! Haha. Though in all sincerity, I do feel some empathy because of the $200 price drop that I suffered through.

I am glad I bought an iPhone! Jobs takes care of me. How bout you?

I just ran out of space on my 8GB iPhone today. I was adding the soundtrack to “Across the Universe” when iTunes notified me that I had to get rid of some of my photos if I wanted to have a complete library on my phone. I knew it would happen one day. Sigh. What I didn’t expect was that it would occur at the exact moment 16GB iPhones started to show up. Perfect timing Apple. I congratulate your precise sales plan. You know me too well. I am assuming they also know their other customers. Apple knows that some people want more space on their Touch-Screen iPods; and that some previous owners may realize that 8 or 16GB is simply not enough and may decide to upgrade. I am jokingly considering upgrading my phone to a 16GB, which is still $100 cheaper than the initial price of the 8GB iPhone. How ironic.

I have heard that there may be yet another price drop, so it would be wise to hold off on the upgrade. I am fine with 8GB, but it looks like I will be living with a fraction of… more...

Everything was normal, in regards to my iPhone, when I went to sleep last night. My cat sleeps in my room and he likes to bite my feet. When I woke up in the morning I realized that he had taken a liking to my pristine iPhone as well. I saw some bubbles and scratch marks on the screen protector and on the back there were some pretty deep marks. I knew immediately what had occurred and stared jokingly into Kratos’ eyes, at which point I said “What have you done!” Luckily Steve (my phone) had sustained no damage on the screen. My cat comes up to me when I am using Safari and nibbles Steve gently, but still firmly enough to inflict damage. He likes the shiny rim of the iPhone. I love my cat dearly and was not upset at him (I was a bit amused). Though I do love him, you wont find him anywhere near my iPhone now.

Any of you have similar pet stories?

Written on my new Macbook Air, which I love. You won’t find my cat around my new MacBook either. more...

In what is a dramatic twist, searching for Hell in the iPhone’s weather App brings up New York as the first result. Alternatively, doing the same on Google Maps yields no such comedy.

Curiosity piqued my interest as I began expirementing with what Easter eggs lie in the weather App. When searching for Hell, New York is listed as the first result.

You are probably familiar with those iPhone commercials depicting people using their phones in real situations that would occur in life. Well I have my own.

I regularly attend a computer class at my local college. One day during class a discussion arose about the sharp rise in price of technology stocks. My teacher used Google as an example and asked if anyone knew what the price per share currently was and what it had been 1 year ago. Having had Google as one of the stocks I was monitoring, I quickly took out my iPhone and checked the price. The class was amazed at the speed with which I was able to gather this information. The professor soon used this information to calculate the amount of money one would have gained in investing a certain amount about a year ago. I was glad that our class was able to learn using valid information, and not a mere estimate. The professor then thanked me after class.

Thank you iPhone! You may have just gotten me an A.

If you’re lacking in the social skills department, you might be able to compensate by using your iPhone.

By itself the iPhone won’t be attracting women on its own (female magnet is only available in the 2nd gen model which will retail for $999) but all you need to do is whip it out and start using it.

Be Large And In Charge

One trait that is shared amongst important business people is the use of Bluetooth headsets which show of that their so busy, the menial task of holding a cell phone is too much even though their just using hand gestures. It’s also important you actually hold the iPhone in your hand, if you pocket it people can’t see it. Honestly, who does that with a phone and wireless headset?
