Apple iPhone news updates for the day
I think we’ve been pretty good at limiting the iPhone news today (but then again, I’ve been busy with work so maybe that’s why) – don’t you think? Well, it’s that time again – the time where we list out some of the more interesting iPhone related articles in no particular rhyme or reason. Enjoy!
From GearLog – “Worst iPhone Photos on eBay” (or it should say - people will try anything to sell the phone – including wearing a bikini)
From MobileBurn – “Hands-On with Apple’s iPhone“
From GearLog again – “What happens if you switch SIMS“
From PC Magazine “Apple iPhone Launch Reveals Phenomenon“:
The most interesting thing about this past Friday’s launch of the Apple iPhone was that the people who stood in those long lines (some for days) didn’t have to wait in line at all.
Yes.. I felt a bit like a dork for standing in line when there were plenty of iPhones available at the local Apple store. Then again – standing in line waiting for the iPhone certainly was an experience to behold.
From ZDNet – “The iPhone Launch report card“
From MacWorld – “Survey: 7 million U.S. mobile workers want iPhone“
The company polled 1,027 people in the U.S. Extrapolating based on that research, the company has concluded that 15 percent of the 50 million mobile workers in the U.S. have expressed interest in buying an iPhone. That’s about 7.2 million, all together
Ah classic polling – based on 1000 people, we can somehow extrapolate and infer that there will be 7 million people who want the phone. Yeah… I’m not a fan of polls people.
From MacWorld – “Hackers make progress toward unlocking iPhone“
While hackers race ahead to unlock the iPhone as quickly as possible, iPhone Dev Wiki poster gj criticized those hackers competing against each other to unlock the phone, saying the lack of cooperation had slowed progress.

From CNN/Money – “Small Hassle Buying, No Hassle Registering iPhone”
Contrary to some reports, I think the quality and reception of the phone is better than the Palm Treo 650 that I retired when I registered the iPhone.
From Macworld – “Apple iPhone“:
To put it more simply: The iPhone is the real deal. It’s a product that has already changed the way people look at the devices they carry in their pockets and purses. After only a few days with mine, the prospect of carrying a cellphone with me wherever I go no longer fills me with begrudging acceptance, but actual excitement.
From AppleInsider – “Apple secures iPhone.com for seven figure sum — report“:
