Despite common wisdom, I did not buy the new 3G iPhone today.

So, why did I not get the latest version of the iPhone. Well, it is not for lack of effort. No, I did not get the new iPhone today cause lines are around the block at *ALL* locations.

I rode my Ducati Hypermotard to several Apple and AT&T locations and snapped these photos.


AT&T store at 6th Ave and 17th st. - SOLD OUT at 11am, got a second shipment around Noon and then sold out again shortly after. Line winds around the corner to the left.





Apple Store Prince St. SoHo - Sell Out imminent. The line extends down the block all the way to Houston St.

 



AT&T store at Union Square. - SOLD OUT at Noon.

The mystery behind why the new iPhone is so cheap may be solved, with market researcher iSuppli saying it costs just US$173 to make.

Full story here...

The native iPhone app is called "band" and created by the developer MooCowMusic.



Need I say more?

The title of this engadget post is "DIYer builds fully-functional NES controller coffee table, earns mad respect". But what was most entertaining about this quick hit comes after watching the video in the comments section.

My favorite is comment #9 by Irritant. "This video is clearly fake. The geek appears to have a girlfriend."



Enjoy...

Here is the original engadget post with all the comments

A quick hit for you.

From Gizmodo.com:
"The beta 2.0 firmware that comes with the iPhone SDK has been modified to unlock the iPhone and run any application. Part of the Pwnage Project, the hacked firmware will allow you to do anything you want, including the installation of both official and unofficial apps, and even patches. We got the exclusive details directly from the DevTeam, including the fact that it is going to be extremely hard for Cupertino to close this new hole:"

There is a great quote that sums up George Bush the 1st's presidency. "It's all about the economy dummy".

Well, here we are at the end of another cycle in this business I fondly, and jokingly call the "InterWeb". the Web 2.0, as with the last phase, has hit a saturation point and it is time to let your 2.0 freak flag fly. If you have a facebook or a twitter account, you're already 2.0 enabled and may have not even known it. It's ok, that is why I am here, to share things like this excellent website that uses 2.0 features to create calendar goodness.

So on to the next phase (read more).
