No surprises here… Steve Jobs announced today, at the WWDC 2008 event, that the 3G iPhone will be out on July 11th. From a “size and weight” perspective… not a ton has changed. The 3G iPhone is 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.48 inches (vs 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.46 for…
I have always fancied pocket watches, even though they are a bit out of place in 2008 not to mention unpractical. It is just one more thing to lose… and a watch on your wrist tends to do the job. With all of that stacked against the pocket watch Adam…
