flop ya mac out

Daniel and Jason give some deep thought massage to WWDC 2008. Will John West reject the iPhone 3G? If he mistook it for some salmon, that is… And Steve Jobs gets lyrical and dishes up something tasty for flop ya mac out listeners only…

After much deliberating, my manager and I who work as resellers in Melbourne (Australia) decided to be the first to break photos of 2.0. But can you really blame us??!

We can’t be penalised - we didn’t sign NDA’s anyway! Ha!

Enjoy!

Needless to say, the anticipation was killing us!

Oh, wow. Steve’s really done it this time…

iPhone 2.0 really does scroll like butter. Quick, somebody call me on it!

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…

Recorded on Sunday, Dan and Jase put their all their WWDC thoughts and predictions into the one basket to give away as a free hamper to the homeless. Apart from the biscuit break, it’s all hands on deck for the last fymo before a 3G iPhone is announced!…

It was with much annoyance that Dan and I found out that some crafty, iPhone-flogging eBayer in Australia has been hot-linking to our images here at Flop Ya Mac Out, in a bid to brighten up his eBay page.

Sure, we may glean the odd photo here and there off Google Images ourselves, but we feel there is a distinction between doing this, and free-loading on someone’s bandwidth for profit, without asking.

We meditated over this for a while, and then formulated the perfect plan.

Amidst fits of giggling, we sourced some suitably appropriate ‘equivalent images,’ (we decided against hardcore porn after much debate), uploaded them to our server, and then let them fly.

Better still, once eBay pages are submitted, the code can’t be changed! We hope they’ll sway perspective buyers even more so now than before, but see what you think.

Results follow:

Brings new meaning to Virgin Mobile, no? A cheeky lesson learnt, but one he’ll never forget.

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.   

“Track pad? What do you mean use the track pad on the laptop? Well, what if I put if I put it… here, like this? I’m using it on the laptop now aren’t I?

You know, we really should plug a keyboard into this thing.”

Bo Diddley, indeed.

So we’ve been unable to audibly copulate to produce a flop ya mac out podcast this week, so until next week, we leave you with the following message…

Like many owners of the current iPhone, I’m going “fuck it off” once I get my hands on some juicy 3G iPhone goodness! There-in lies a first world kind of dilema… What do I do with my “old” iPhone?

Do I simply place it back in its box, so that in years to come I can look up to that dusty mantle and comment to my grandson, gesturing with my smokey pipe,

“Fucking look at that son! No, up there on the mantle piece! Underneath the dust! See that box? Best box ever - ‘cept for your Grandma’s! Ha ha.. But seriously - listening to me now, eyes this way son - that young man, that, is an original Apple iPhone. Best piece of technology you could buy back in the day. It may look a little bulky nowadays, but believe me, that piece of beautiful art did more than just look pretty - it was a Phone, an iPod, an Internet communications device!…”

Perhaps I could give my old iPhone a new lease of life - a change of career if you will - and use it to shave with and drink beer from… Though no doubt people would stop hanging around with me at the bar, as I bragged about how this was to the my 15th beer I’d chugged from my iPhone, and could still whoop everyones arse at pool…

Perhaps I should just keep my old iPhone next to my bed, in case I have had too many real beers, and I can’t quite seem to pleasure that special someone I picked up tonight; that’s when I have the phone fully charged, with finger poised over the iBrate app…

Having a jailbroken iPhone could never be more important, could it Steve. 

Well, seems like I sorted out this problem with a little “diary entry” work. Thanks for listening guys. 

Saw this on the train today. Nice to know our trains are running state of the art 1990’s chipsets.
