NEW AND OLD

After 1 month, 15 days and 12 hours I now have an iPhone again. Thanks to my friend Frank he let me buy his iPhone off of him so he could upgrade to the new model: iPhone 3GS. At first I really wanted this phone but after I got to thinking about it I realized I just really wanted an iPhone again - how did we live without before it was even an invention? The new iPhone is pretty amazing: fast, new gadgets and even video - but I can wait until next year. The think that disappointed me the most about the new iPHone is that there is no new design, it is identical to its predecessor! I also think that there should have been so more upgrades besides just video and voice recognition. Am i being too picky? If you need to know more about the new phone log onto gizmodo.com or macrumors.com.

Enjoy gadget geeks!

MOCK UP

Could this be the new iPhone, it's an amazing mockup if it is.
The iPhone is a great phone and this new design is just what the 'do-it-all' machine needs to catch up to the 21 Century.

Please, please, please Apple go with this design!!!

APPLE GOOD, MICROSOFT BAD

I love that in the midst of a depression Apple is still doing well and Microsoft is hurting. Well, I'm not thrilled that Microsoft is hurting, I don't want anyone to lose their job but I am ecstatic that Apple is thriving!

COMING TO TOWN

I love when friends from out of town come to Los Angeles to visit. I especially like when people that I haven't seen in forever come to town to visit - like Francois Sagat!

Yesterday he texted me that Jason Sechrest, Chi Chi LaRue and club promoter Paul Nichols are brining him to town to open their party at Apple in the middle of October 15! Francois is not a cheap booking so they are, of course paying TOP BOOKING price for Sagat - as they should! Sagat is the biggest porn star of our time and he deserves the fee he charges. Anyhoo, business aside, I am hoping we can spend some time together and hang out like we did last time he was in town - that was a fun week! I am thinking about Knotts Scary Farm, we will see if Howard Marr approves!

I can't wait to see Francois and Howard. Howard and I had a lengthy conversation last night about the industry and some important issues going on right now. I respect Howard and Francois for the people they are, the image both have maintained and the individual, respectable people they both have stayed. Trust me, it's not easy to do when you are in the adult industry!

SAY HELLO TO MY NEW FRIEND

I usually never go against my word! In the event that I do, silence usually follows up actions because of shame - LOL. My words aren't to be taken so serious, I am referring to the new iPhone and the promise I made to myself over a year ago to never wait inline for a cell phone again!

When the first EVER iPhone came out I did stand in a two hour line to get the new gem!
The iPhone was an incredibly sought after gadget that displayed a lot of firsts for telephones. Touch screen, an elaborate iPod incorporation into the phone... I don't think I have to go into detail, we all know the amazing capabilities of the iPhone. After I waited in that line I told myself I wouldn't need to wait in another line because I had the ULTIMATE phone.

Fast forward 365 days (and some change) and there I am in front of the Pasadena store at 9 a.m. in the morning with Laura! I told Laura I had watched the daily lines for the past two weeks outside the Apple store stretch down the street with desperate gadget nerds waiting to get the new iPhone. I personally didn't think there would be a huge demand - almost everyone with ATT has the freaking phone! What I didn't know was all the people that either wanted to upgrade their old iPhone or wanted to become a member of ATT to be apart of the iPhone revolution!

For weeks I had walked/drove by the lines for the iPhone and I laughed at the fools who stood in line for a phone that has predecessor and doesn't have any huge breakthroughs.

Laura and I braved the line and when it was time to get my new iPhone I had to convince the Apple clerk or "genius" and the ATT operator that I never received a discount on my monthly account. For some reason there was a stipulation for buying the phone in the Apple store that you couldn't currently be receiving any discounts from ATT. I am not sure why but it was something to do with Apple activating the phone in store. When I called the ATT operator she said that it was a government discount because I worked for either the state of California or the Federal Government - and I do neither!

Thankfully I got the operator to take the discount that I was never receiving off (I guess I was receiving the discount before I got the iPhone a year ago but with the original iPhone discounts weren't offered!) and told me to call the following day and have the discount put back on! Yes, for now on I get 15 percent on my bill!!!

All in all the new iPhone is amazing and I sold my old iPhone for $200 on Craigslist! Turns out the original iPhone is in high demand because it's easy to unlock! I posted the iPhone on Craigslist on Tuesday night and have received over 100 messages asking to buy my phone. The Apple Genius says that he received $350 for his 8g iPhone but mine was only 4g and I had a nearby buyer so I decided to go with $200 and get it sold. It sucks cause five days later I am still receiving emails from people begging to buy my phone!!!

JAW BONER

Today I was shopping for a headset for my iPhone - fyi, the new law goes into affect on July 1, 2008 and if you don't have a Bluetooth Handsfree set you can get a ticket for the police. I decided to walk into the Apple Store in Pasadena to buy the Jawbone which just saw a huge price drop: $30!!!

I guess the new Jawbone is launching this Friday so the old ones are all gone - hence the price drop! The Apple guy showed me the new demo which is pretty impressive (see below). Chances are I will never walk though a construction zone so I might just opt for the old generation Jawbone and save myself $40 (the new one will cost $130 while the old one is... well you do the math.) The Apple guy said that the earpiece is a bit uncomfortable on the first Jawbone but not sure if that is true or not, I guess I gotta do my homework!!
