flop ya mac out

See! It was only going to be a matter of time before Google Maps came down with something nasty after consistently spreading its legs for the iPhone, the G1, and now a plethora of other mobile devices in dark alleyways.

The introduction of the new Map API in iPhone software 3.0, will only further extend its reach into many more mobile apps. We just hope they use protection.

From Kevin Rose’s twitter: “another person confirming iphone rumors w/me (high lvl VP at a big company that works w/Apple) – “it will ship in June w/3G and GPS”

Sounds good enough for me to go “Woo!”.

Happiness comes in many packages. Mine came in this one (pictured).

Apart from the lady handing me over the package being a fan of Star Gate, it looked like my birthday had come. And it may as well have been my birthday, given the sausage surpise that awaited me behind the gimicky wrapping paper.

Here’s how to make sure your first iPhone experience is one to remember.

Step one.
You get your box.

Step two.
Take a shower to wash away the sins of the day from being around Window’s machines.

Step three.
Wear somethin pretty. Maybe a splash of cologne. You didn’t pay all that money just to fumble around like a bogan. Gotta look sharp.

Step four.
Manicure fingernails for ultimate touch experience. Don’t want any blood drawn in the heat of the night.

Step five.
Dim the lights. Put on some sexy keynote action from January 2007, to get you in the mood.

Step six.
Open the fricken box and stop blogging about it!

Hm. So as we know, iPhoto jumps out of the scrub whenever we attach our iPhones, to eagerly scoop the photos onto our mac. Very nice.

But the last few times I’ve done this, almost half of my horizontal photos were upside down!

We know that iPhone uses it’s motion sensor to orientate photos correctly without having to go through the strain of actually rotating the pixels on the device itself, but is there a ‘right’ up and a ‘wrong’ down?

I’ll have to play around with how I orientate things to see if I can get some sort of pattern happening. With the way that baby snaps at night, it’s not looking like a biggie anyhow!
