In all fairness, AT&T has been robbing us with iPhones for years.

Using LEDs has really changed everything—when I was a kid, if one pair of undies burnt out we had to change the whole line.

I think the math on this might be a little fuzzy.

Whew. For a second there I thought Step Two was going to be "cut a hole in the monitor."

Oh, Cricket. I was thinking of the Jitterbug, and was wondering how they fit all those 78rpms on a phone.

@Spartanical: Really? I'd gladly give up the volume shutter tweak for that.

@BadPlasmid: Agreed, that's really the only reason I'd go in that direction for an e-reader.

@BadPlasmid: Yeah, I can absolutely see using it as a partial replacement already. My biggest use for something like this (or an iPad) would be for magazines—the goddamn New Yorker is taking over my apartment.

@Con Seannery: SAVE PONIES!: I think for me it's less about the book itself than it is about using it as a memory vessel; all my books are filled with old notes and train tickets, cards from friends, etc. So though I don't keep a journal, my books contain a lot of my life that I can dip back into at any given moment.

This might sound tired or trite, but I want a good book to reflect the time I spent reading it—whether it was carried around in a pocket or bag, read in bed or on trains; whether it was stained with coffee from a vacation hotel or just the place downstairs.

One question: does this version allow you to launch with a full screen viewfinder? The phony "back of the camera" gimmick of the old one got old really fast.

@shuneycutt: Are you really trying that?

@shuneycutt: not ok.

@Brownski: Aaaaaaaaaand I just realized that image I used is the exact opposite of the one I wanted to use. I feel like Charlie Brownski.

I wish he would stop with the friend requests. Isn't it enough that you can watch me sleep?

@FlyingAvocado: I haven't actually played that yet; I'll have to try it out. But DoodleJump, to me, is like the Pac-Man of iOS games.

Boba Fett is such a softie at heart.

So if I go to Japan, I get to see England and France?

I'm not really sure if any iPhone-specific game will ever match the perfect form-meets-function glory of DoodleJump. The updates are nice, but they basically serve to remind people of what a great game it has been from the start—simple to learn, hard to master.
