For those who don't know, before becoming a "tech guy", David spent about ten years working the orchestra pit and as an arranger for Broadway musicals.

Two great videos on the one day. This one - great fun, and the CNET "comparison" real life versus advertising.
Apple has kicked the hugest of goals with this one. iPods (and Intel) breathed new air into the Macintosh. This will have a similar flow on effect.
You have to admire the sophisticated approach that Apple represents these days - and there is so much more on the near term horizon - Leopard, iLife updates, new phone-less ipods, iPhone updates, and not too far off I would guess 3G iPhones.
The only chink in the armour that I can see is the decision to lock the iPhone up with single carriers in each market place. If the iPhone is not Vodafone in Australia then I will have a hard time getting it as a phone. Similar sentiments will exist in every market they sell into and multi-year lockouts seem unnecessary now that they have really proved its appeal in the US.
I busted a gut laughing at that. That is almost as funny as Leo Laportes review of the zune. That was great to see him say the zune was a piece of crap!
I can't believe people are actually thinking this was funny. It makes you wonder if they'd still be praising lame stuff like this if it were Microsoft or Motorola geeking out.
Ever wonder why David Pogue and Walt Mossberg and few other got to have iPhone 2 weeks before it's release? This video is your answer. These Journalist are "Apple" friendly and wouldn't mind having two or more podcasts/shows, including this hard working musical dedicated to iPhone. Yea, they are just like me. Suffering from "Applious".
On other note, the claim "battery can't be replaced" is not true. Apple will provide FREE battery replacement within 1 and after that $85 some dollars... so it "CAN" be replaced.
Ya know, I love my iPhone and I actually laughed at video. Very funny and David can sing.
BUT, after seeing that video and hearing David say how he is not biased on his Apple reviews...
I call *****!
