@neverbeenback: I didn't say invent, start, or create video calling. The fact is it wasn't ever properly 'sold' to Americans. Regardless of when this was available or who did it first Apple has the opportunity to own that market. Very much the way they own potable media.

One way to step it up Apple would be with FaceTime. Make it over 3G, connect FaceTime across all Apple devices (use iChat on OS X). Make it accessible on non-Apple devices by logging into Mobile Me. Own video communications.

Hold the phone in your left hand, thumb extended (covering the volume buttons) with your other fingers on the right side of the unit. The fleshy part of your palm…

@qballdz: Amazing. This is exactly the comment I wanted to see.

@Arken: Best comment.

@Coreboy: That will be interesting, report back.

@A.Jaswal: I shot it against another iPhone, Giz didn't post it. I also calibrated my white balance before this shot. What I shot is as true to the color when the other phone was black. But only at that angle.

Campout!

@hawkeye18: From the turret on top of course.

Nobulge pocket design? TWSS.

People actually use those? I don't have one. But are these going to steal my data when I use them in the winter again? [www.coolest-gadgets.com]

@Piledriver: What does it say about me when 90% of the pictures on my iPhone are from me mocking strangers on the Subway.

This iPhone owner sure likes food.

@Arggh! there goes a...snake a snake!: Brake me off a piece of that....Chrysler car.
