The Mobile CyberLizard

This post is being composed on my new iPhone. I know, you’re totally impressed with my technical gadgetry. You may touch my monkey.
I resisted the pull of Jobs’ Reality Distortion Field for quite a while now. Initially I took it personally that they weren’t including Java on the iPhone. I’m a Java programmer, it’s what I do. So when Jobs brushed off Java it pissed me off. Then I heard that it was only going to support little JavaScript web apps running in Safari (and before you ask, JavaScript is NOT the same as Java). And the whole thing about locking the phone down and only being able to get Apple-approved apps via their AppStore really ticked me off. So I resisted.

Then my Blackjack’s battery started going and the damn thing kept loosing the signal and crashing. When I went to AT&T’s site to look at phones they had a refurb 16GB 3G iPhone for $150. So I caved.

So far I’m completely smitten with this sleek little beauty. And although it’s awesome, y’all will have to wait till later to hear how kick-ass porn is on this baby, ’cause typing on this thing is somewhat less than stellar.
