- Pure Digital Claims it Will Sell Unlocked iPhones
If you're among the many people in the United States who either can't use ATT/Cingular or choose not to use the carrier's services based on negative experiences, take heart -- there still might be a way to use an iPhone...If you're among the many people in the United States who either can't use AT&T/Cingular or choose not to use the carrier's services based on negative experiences, take heart -- there still might be a way to use an iPhone without the company's blessing. The iPhone ships in four weeks. And though Apple is officially keeping the device exclusive to AT&T for five years, never underestimate the black market for unlocked phones.
According to Ars Technica, Pure Mobile is now claiming it will sell unlocked iPhones for an undisclosed (read: EXORBITANT) rate almost as soon as the devices hit the market. As a T-Mobile user, this is very heartening news, but I can tell you there is no way I'm going to spend $1,000 or more for an iPhone. Maybe when the iPhone nano hits in two years, and someone unlocks that...
Anyone willing to take the unlocked plunge?

Pete Mortensen - First iPhone Web Apps Available
For all of the complaining that has tripped down the wire about Apple's total lack of an SDK for the iPhone, a couple of entrepreneurial developers have already created iPhone apps to try out in Safari.

Shown above is David Cann's alternate interface for Digg. It's quite fun, and I actually find it a better way to navigate Digg than the real site. (Sorry, Kevin!) I especially enjoy the way it implements the "grab and fling" interface for the rest of us.
The other contender is OneTrip, a quick (though very elegant) grocery list program put together over-night by Neven Mrgan. Both apps are really nice and fairly clear evidence that sophisticated programs suited to use on the iPhone are possible. I think the new Apple strategy of "the web is the new SDK" is actually a wonderful one. They're pretty unlikely to crash, and really powerful development is a possibility.
Anyone want to lay money on how long it will be until Google issues a version of Reader optimized for the iPhone?

Pete Mortensen - Video: John "PC" Hodgman Posing As Steve Jobs
Miss the WWDC keynote? Other than a couple of the specific features of Leopard, don't bother. But you should watch the video above -- it's John "PC and also noted pseudo-intellectual" Hodgman posing as Steve Jobs and announcing the demise...

But you should watch the video above -- it's John "PC and also noted pseudo-intellectual" Hodgman posing as Steve Jobs and announcing the demise of the Mac platform. It was the opening act for real Steve. Hilarious.Technorati Tags: get a mac, john hodgman
