flop ya mac out

So what’s with the iPhone case on the demo iPhone’s at WWDC 2008?

My best guess is they are there because the iPhone can be a little slippery to hold. (So I’ve found. Though do I love the silver matte finish…) Perhaps the rubbery-looking case is simply there to prevent demo slippage?

Imagine the guy is showing off Sega’s Monkey Ball and whoops!! There goes the iPhone.

Has anyone seen this sorta case for sale?

We discuss the iPhone 3G, WWDC 2008 keynote and more, in flop ya mac out 38: post-wwdc banana milkshake.

Ha! A phone with a touch screen interface reported to contain a “2 megapixel camera, GPS, FM radio, EVDO Rev. A, 3-inch touchscreen (pressure-based), and microSD card slot… …measuring a 2.17 x 4.57 x 0.49 inches.”

Sounds like the new 3G iPhone. Perhaps. Sorta. Hopefully!

Well… It’s not. It’s Sumsung’s new “iPhone killer”. Stated in the video below, this thing is set to come out ib June. But will June be too late?

If this new version of the iPhone can deliver on most of the features above (as it really should have in it’s original incarnation - I mean no video recording - really!) then I think it’s pretty much still gonna shit all over the Instinct.

There’s no going past the iPhones sexy interface, and soon to be hundreds of applications and games to make the Apple touch platform the yummiest thing since a really yummy sandwich. That was surprisingly yummy in a rather non-sandwich way.

Sandwich goodness plus “seem-less” interoperability with the iTunes world of content is just part of what makes the iPhone a force to be reckoned with.

Fingers crossed for the WWDC keynote! Check out the promotional ad for the Instinct below. 

Within a number of hours, this ad could become extinct, irrelevant and just downright incorrect. And good laugh.

UPDATE: Well well well… Post-WWDC, it looks like Samsung, for now, will have the last laugh! That is unless Apple just wants to surprise us all with video recording capabilities closer to the release date of the new iPhone 3G!… 

“Tut tut tut, Apple” is all I can say…

iThink, therefore I am? I’m sure that’s been done to death, but let me demonstrate my current being in verse… 

If Jobs were not born

Apple products I could not yearn

I have me no lady

But I have a picture of you above my bed.

Steve Jobs, only because of you

Do I have something to look forward to

Come next Tuesday morn

I’ll wake not with a yawn

As I’ll wake at dawn

Not to surf porn

But I’ll open up Engadget and Macrumors too

To view the live reporting of the WWDC Keynote - Ooo!

Loins firm, eyes peeled for what I shall next consume

Sleepless night…

Sleepless night’o'joy.   

Hilarious! I just completed the SteveNote Expo game, and am “now ready for the best SteveNote ever”.

I came across it via Engadget - check it out yourself here!

“Try the game that lets you experience what it feels like to be Steve Jobs just before your Keynote presentation.”
