Famous Fingers
Hah… a photo I took when I first got my 1st Gen iPhone made its way onto another technology blog recently. My gnarled hands are in beautiful contrast to my pristine, jailbroken iPhone, in this particular shot, LOL.
More than anything though, I’m proud and amazed that so many people choose to use my photos, and this one in particular, over and over again to accent their blog posts.
Here are some more examples:

My website is now formatted automatically when you visit from a mobile web browser. Whether you’re connecting from a hip new iPhone or a standard, less cool, mobile communication device (ie: cell phone)… you’ll see something like this when you visit:

A simple desktop screenshot.. and yes, I’m still rocking Windows XP. Keeping it relatively old skool.

I Like My Apple iPhone, But…
I Like The Apple iPhone, But… (in no particular order):
1.) I wish ring-tones could be accessed and loaded on the phone more simply, without all the restrictions. The fact that you have to pay an extra $.99 to make an iTunes purchased track a ringtone is beyond ridiculous to me.
2.) Why couldn’t Apple, Inc. include the ability to send SMS and MMS messages to multiple contacts like my OLD Motorola phone could?
3.) Apple, Inc. should be nice and stop thwarting efforts to load 3rd party applications on the iPhone (or just simply open it up to better functionality and access). Firmware 1.1.2 kills the Firmware 1.1.1 tiff exploit
4.) The iPhone probably could have been as thin as the Motorola SLVR, my SLVR had almost every functionality that my iPhone currently has minus the WiFi and touch screen (the iPod Touch has a touch screen and it’s as thin as my SLVR).
5.) Everyone mentions the storage space.. 8GB, sheesh, after a few albums, two videos and some photos I’m damn near full.
6.) No voice activated dialing.. that’s a feature I simply fell in love with on my Moto SLVR, yet it doesn’t exist on the “Greatest Invention of the Year?”
Now, I was aware of all of these caveats when I purchased the device. Having it in my hands and in full use is a much different experience. What I like about the phone far exceeds what I dislike about using the device. Also, the popularity and fame it automatically gives me is a plus. However, unless Apple addresses these and other issues (which are basic usability and functionality omissions), I may have to consider selling it if the “next-Great-thing” comes along.

Jay-Z’s “American Gangster” Pre-Order on iTunes
Found this accidentally today while browsing iTunes…
This is somewhat important to me because I’m mildly excited about the movie release in November, with Jay-Z’s album releasing a few days later ON MY BIRTHDAY. Not that I buy many albums these days, but I may grab it off iTunes now that I’m a recent convert, iPod owner. And yea, I know this will inevitably be leaked weeks before it hits shelves, lol. Hell, the first single has been out for how many weeks now?
“Jay-Z is currently putting the finishing touches on his tenth solo album entitled “American Gangster,” which is inspired by the upcoming flick of the same name starring Oscar Award winner Denzel Washington.” - Sohh.com
