All this iPhone mania makes me wish it were available here in the Great White North. But it isn’t, so we continue to content ourselves with refurbished Sony Walkmans and those big analog brick Motorola phones that uber geeks used to hang from their reinforced belts with sections of anodized chain link.

The technology in Canada may be old, and we may still be getting hosed on pricing for airtime and such. But it works really well when you’re out cruising the tundra on a dogsled along with a red-suited Mountie and a stack of beaver pelts.

Good times.

I’m holding off on buying an iPhone until someone gets the shaving attachment and sideburns functionality working.

Dang it, now I’m going to have to drop $400 for a phone and re-up with AT&T. I’m a glass half full kinda guy right now.

Good News! Wish it had happened BEFORE I upgraded then downgraded to get all my 3rd party apps back. But knowing that in the future I’ll be able to upgrade my phone again is promising.

And ewww. Nobody needs tonail clippers in Starbucks! *shudder*

Since I am currently a slave to Sprint and a hated Blackberry +2 Device of Loathing, I’m more excited for the little P.S. about the iPod touch being included in the 3rd Party Apps love-fest.

And you can be sure that Apple is already hard at work on an iPhone Taser.
