Ok, so I’ve succumbed to the pressure of technology and cracked open the box. This is the FIRST piece of apple hardware I’ve ever owned. I’ve managed to stand firm ever since working in the Quadra lab in the UCSB MCL, fighting off any temptation to own an Apple device. That was back in 1995. Its now 2007! Times have changed, and evidently, so have I. Mikey is now the proud OWNER and content USER of the iPhone. Overall I’m impressed with it, very impressed with it. Maybe this is the same feeling that the Gen1 iPod owners felt, maybe its different. None the less it is a great piece of hardware, and a great application of current technology. Although the software is somewhat limited, the interface is revolutionary by its use of multi-touch technology and virtual keyboard. I won’t do a review as there have been many-many-many done already so I’ll just express my dear satisfaction and contentment with said device. Thank you Steve, you are cool. Haha.

Anyone who’s anyone, on the geek side of life, has been bombarded with everything and anything iPhone lately.

I too have fallen victim to the hype. Waiting in line for more hours than I care to admit I get my hands on a nice precious 8GB iPhone. 2 days later I pick up another 4GB one. Not sure why. My Precious. Neither have been opened, and I try to keep them in bed with me at night but the GF threatens to have me sleep on the floor if I continue the madness. Nonetheless I cannot wait until the hype has subsided and the world of easy-going-geekdom is restored.

My Precious, what will become of thee?
