iPhone U.K. - London's Calling, They Are Pissed!

Special Report by Doris Flatley (UK)

LONDON - Like dozens of other British hipsters, Roger Crichlow a resident of Southeast London was a right bastard on Tuesday (September 18th) where Steve Jobs was present to announce the arrival of the iPhone in Europe at the Regent Street Apple Store, located in the heart of London's West End.

"I'm feeling done over by old Jobsy boy. No iPhone until November 9th? Bollocks! Go home yank! That's what I say!" Crichlow shouted angrily, wedged between a crowd of agitated onlookers who gathered inside the Apple Store holding out for big iPhone news.

The rumored upgrade of the iPhone, to incorporate HSDPA support in a European version, does not seem to have any validity, leaving many whiny Londoners like Roger Crichlow, bitterly disappointed. Europe will be forced to rely on the O2 Edge network, which still does not have full coverage across the U.K. A blow to customers who hoped Steve Jobs (El Jobso), may pull something new out of his hat at the London launch.

Building A Low Budget, Heat and Sip USB Dock

Special report by Ian Fawling

PULLMAN, WA - The do-it-yourself website Instructables, featured a nifty post entitled "The Ridiculously Clever Dock" which demonstrates in photos (step-by-step) how to use a simple binder clip and rubber band to make a low budget USB dock. Genius! Right?

It worked brilliantly for Washington State University student Mike Foley as the website promised (see Nano photo on left). "I tested the binder clip with my iPod Nano and it worked to perfection" said Foley, "Then it got me thinking. Could I make an even cooler dock for my Nano-Pod out of recycled junk I throw away?" Foley liked the idea that he could be environmentally conscious by recycling, but still have a custom, kick-ass docking station for his Nano. The unthinkable series of events that followed next would be known only as the discovery of "The Ridiculously Dumb-Ass Dock", in obvious contrast to the binder clip dock the Instructables website featured.

Apple Faithful Demand Price Guarantee on iCar

PORTLAND, OREGON - Just days after widespread rumors circulated that Apple is working closely with Volkswagen to produce an iCar, a coalition of Apple early adopters inundated message boards with demands for a price guarantee on the iCar. "We deserve a guarantee that Apple is not going to drop the price on the iCar ten weeks after it's launched like they did with the iPhone" said Andy Freese, the newly elected President and founder of the fledgling group calling themselves The Apple Core.

"It's never too soon to make our demands known to Mr. Jobs when it comes to the iCar, we're not going to get burned again."

Freese said, referring to the sudden price drop of $200 on the iPhone that angered some Apple faithful. Freese clearly understands the fierce loyalty and buying power of early adopters and he's now joining ranks with others like himself in efforts to unify that power and leverage it to apply due pressure on Apple, Inc.

VW + Apple Equals The iCar

Reports are running rampant about Apple and Volkswagen being engaged in serious talks about an iCar prototype aimed at rolling off the assembley line sometime in 2010. The iCar will be designed to compete primarily in Europe with the popular Mercedes-Benz, Smart Car. Though most of the reports are yet unconfirmed, rumors of an iCar have generated significant swagger for Volkswagen already -- a Google search of the phrase "VW + iCar" yields over 2 million entries at present and the stories are just beginning to heat up across the globe.

Speculation that the Apple iCar will contain convenient iPod and iPhone docking connectivity built into the console with video output for easy playback through on board LCD screens has become a hot point of debate. Apple presently works with several automakers, including BMW, for iPod and iPhone integration so an iCar in partnership with Volkswagen is not a huge stretch of the imagination as the newest frontier for Apple. If Apple can sell one million iPhones, discontinue the 4GB model and drop the price $200 inside of 74 days, I'm guessing anything is possible. Actually, VW + Apple equals Vwapple which is not very catchy, is it? Start holding your breath now.

iQuit Joke Brings $350 Fine for 911 Call

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Call it total boredom gone bad or simply call it man-tastic, but Geoff Noones never expected his uncle to take his emailed suicide joke seriously enough to call 911. It was no secret for Geoff's family how badly he's wanted an iPhone since it's initial release. Geoff camped in line with friends for seven hours outside The Apple Store in San Francisco on launch day, but only as an onlooker since he was unable to afford the premium price of an iPhone, not to mention the AT&T service plan.

Noones sent his uncle a series of cryptic emails about being distraught and depressed at work and sited the lack of an iPhone for his feelings of hopelessness. The emails led up to his final two messages that contained art with the words "iQuit" and a silhouette hung by the neck with iPod cables, followed by a real photo of Noones hanging by iPod cables in his kitchen. It was those final veiled suicide messages that began the nightmare for Geoff Noones.

iPhone Cracks One Million Sold Milestone

An eerie Apple silence started off the news week of September 10th until Apple Inc. reported the sale of it's one-millionth iPhone on Monday, a few weeks ahead of schedule. The celebrated milestone for Apple was due in large part to the $200 iPhone price cut, the enormous outcry from early adopters, the media circus surrounding the price cut, the rebate love letter from Steve Jobs to the iPhone faithful (that made him appear really nice) and the fact that no one on planet earth cared about the $50 price cut on Microsoft's Zune digital media player (or at least no one was willing to admit it). Did I mention the $200 price cut?

The landmark sales news from Apple has allowed iPhone cult members across the U.S. to take a much needed sigh of relief after last week's "price cut heard around the world" that rocked Jesus Phone followers to their foundation. Steve Jobs became more popular than both Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in the media for a successive three day period last week, setting a less important landmark. Did I mention the $200 price cut?

"No news is good news right now when it comes to the iPhone" said Barry Souvern who paid $699 for his 8GB iPhone on June 29th "Actually, the news of one million iPhones sold is not no news, I meant no news about anything else that could be bad for us early adopters, that would not be good news." explained a nervous Souvern, sweating excessively during his interview.

Barry Souvern insisted that The Savior feature a photo of his personal iPhone wallpaper which he is extremely proud of, but admits that it still stirs up feelings of anger over the price drop. "I keep that picture of the iPhone as my wallpaper so I'll never forget the pain of September 5th. It will always be a sobering memory for me." Souvern said, appearing a bit disoriented while speaking and clutching his fanny pack.

Apple has said it will sell 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008.
