iPhone, at last

Everyone else is blogging about it, so I might as well too. I'm just as susceptible as the next guy to a bit of techno-lust now and again.

I hereby apologize to all those back in November who told me not to get a new Windows laptop and also those who suggested I wait a bit for getting a new cell phone. I'm looking on my new HP laptop and Motorola phone with deep regret this afternoon.

The iPhone looks to runs universal binaries, so one oughtta be able to view both .sid and .jp2 files pretty easily.

But no GPS, though. Bummer -- almost perfect, but not quite.

...Hmm, what about that mandatory FCC E911 cell-tower-location stuff? Can we hijack that? With what sort of accuracy?
