The best of these is this commentary by Mister Net at Enklo. He shows what it would really mean to "reinvent the phone," as Steve Jobs said he would.
Jimmy is currently listening to some bland pop crap and if you are interested you can click the name of the song or band and iPhone will take you to the appropriate iPod view.
The song and artist names are underlined to show you that they're clickable but all data is clickable, not just the music. If you click the iPod word you reach the iPod starting screen. If you click an email address you get a form for writing a message to that address and so on.
The idea here is to help you access the right tool at the right time in a comfortable and pleasant fashion.Brilliant. I love it. Make it happen, Steve.

Pete Mortensen - Awesome Game Boy iPod Mod
Some things just make me smile. The original Game Boy is on that list, as is the iPod. When these things are brought together, I smile more. This guy Ryan's mod is just beautiful.

Pete Mortensen - Sony Takes "I'm a Vaio" to Print Ads..
...And it's still stupid. Sony has taken more image hits in the last year than any electronics company I can think of. It's getting to the level of Atari circa 1985. They launched an ill-famed flash ad for the Vaio......And it's still stupid.
Sony has taken more image hits in the last year than any electronics company I can think of. It's getting to the level of Atari circa 1985. They launched an ill-famed flash ad for the Vaio that tried to emphasize the improvement of the Sony computers over Macs and PCs with bad sound effects and giggling. Now it's reached magazines, and it's no better. This improves your image? "Sony: We're a lot like a hippie woman dressed in thrift-store clothes -- to the EXTREME!"
Weak.

Pete Mortensen - iPhone Comparisons to LG PRADA Debate Reaches Dull Nadir
The leading lights of Digg -- Alex Albrecht and Apple geek extraordinaire Kevin Rose -- dive into an in-depth but largely information-free debate comparing the LG KE-850 phone to Apple's iPhone.

The argument was spawned from a post questioning whether the similarities of the touch-screen devices might result in a lawsuit.
And, as all such debates inevitably go, the substance of the argument is suspiciously absent. Instead, we get a long talk that amounts to: "They look the same!" "No, they don't!" "But they're both touchscreens!"
Is the world not ready for an honest conversation about interface and operating systems? I have more thoughts after the fold.

For unclaimed markets, such as truly mobile web browsing, an area where the iPhone will pioneer, it's difficult to understand the difference between a technical solution and a usable solution. WAP, the current technology used by even the smartest phones for mobile web browsing, can't view actual websites. Instead, most sites have a cut-down version that delivers much of the content in a way tiny screens and slow data pipes can handle. It sort of works, but it will never replace using a computer to browse.
The iPhone, by contrast, can handle the mainstream web. No matter what other facile similarities the device bears to other competitive solutions, the iPhone stands head and shoulders over the rest here. It means that mobile browsing might actually garner wide use. It's a usable solution instead of a trick to make something technically function. It's absolutely ridiculous in the above video when Albrecht claims the LG phone "probably" can look at real websites. I really doubt it. This is where interface and operating systems make the difference, and it's where Apple always looks best. Imitators need not apply.
The LG looks nice enough. It isn't a rip-off of the iPhone or vice versa. But it's even more expensive, and it won't make a dent in the same way.
