nicely done

his holiness, el jobso (the honorable, the beneficent), has unleashed the new iphone upon us and i have to say, i'm impressed. i never really wanted iphone 1.0, as i've never been big on phones and i was more taken w/ the ipod touch, but iphone 2.0 looks very promising. seems apple really listened to the gripes people were making about the old phone and stepped up operations. so let's make a little rundown:

3G
SDK and tons of third-party apps
GPS
yes, games
supposedly much more efficient battery life
supposedly 36% faster page loads
24 hours of audio playback
5 hours of 3G talk
7 hours of video playback

and, best of all, way fucking cheaper than iphone 1.0. $200(!) for the 8GB model and $300 for the white 16GB model. the latter isn't too painful and much better than the $500 fucking pricetag for the first phone.
