You’re a dirty liar! I’m not a fan of ANYBODY, it isn’t just Jobs. When was the last time I said anything good about the Gate-a-saurus Rex?

Wow! You guys really are getting some schwag now! Only, be prepared to spend a lot of money every month keeping those things hooked up and running. Dang, and I was just joking about all the free stuff… Now it’s coming true!

I could be mistaken, but I think the apple offer was in jest, though maybe your comment was as well, and I’m the one who just doesn’t get it.

eugovector: Ding! lol

J, you have exactly 24 hours to get me an in-depth review so we can beat our direct competitors to the punch. 🙂

Oh, yeah, he’ll be real critical. Do you have to have Steve Jobs OK it for you before you send it in or does he just beam the review directly into your brain? 😉

He did pay the extra 30 cents to get the higher quality, less compressed, beam without DRM straight to his brain. Give him some credit 😉

I would expect no less from a resident audioholic!

OK, i knew all this avrant stuff would work out for me in the end. i do swear on all that is holy in my house (my mac) that i will NEVER call the off-rant line again with a story about dina, i will never email tom a little fun fact about dina’s past, and i will never ever leave a comment that does not paint your wife in the most pleasing and loving light, if i get an iPhone. i am sure that steve jobs wants to know what i think of that little gizmo…

Sneak Preview of J’s review:

The iPod is so terrific, it practically melted in my hand – and the preloaded speech from Steve Jobs was absolutely to DIE for. I felt that it made even the worst-compressed MP3 audio sound like a gilded LP – something that only Apple could do. It never crashed once, and the fact that it takes me 10x longer to dial numbers since it doesn’t have any physical number-key buttons was only annoying for a few minutes until I got used to how it worked.

The lack of voice dialing support (which has been around for about 3 years now and available on even freebie phones given away by pay-as-you-go providers) was actually an asset. I mean, who needs those features anyway, they only work about 92% of the time.

I also LOVED the way the interface looked – which was good, especially since I couldn’t change it or customize it at all.

I found out today that I have to pay a lot of extra fees to use the advanced features of the phone, but that’s OK since I make like 6 figures off of this AVrant blogging gig. I almost got the process down of sticking in the headphone plug adapter since the iPhone doesn’t have a standard jack like my iPod does. That’s cool though, cause it means that Apple will probably put out some nifty custom headphones before too long – and you KNOW they’ll sound better than anything else available for non-Apple products.

Yes, the iPhone is a truly awesome product – and one that Apple sycophants will sing the praises of everywhere. I’ve got mine and you… well, you have a “lesser” phone. Maybe someday you’ll understand, but until then I’ll enjoy my iPhone… my… precious.

And I thought J was going to give a good review for the iPhone he said he had to get used to something! It didn’t get implanted in his mind as soon as he touched the device, very disappointing I might not get one now although the 128kbps golden LP is very tempting.

I see the iPhone pictured above looks to be all smudged up and “sticky”. Could even be some drool. Don’t really want to know where that iPhone has been 😮

NOTE TO SELF: Don’t borrow J’s phone. (not that he would let go)

Watch out everyone, I understand iPhones attract lightning.
