So here I am, 10 days late from my usual blog update commitment. Honestly, I have no real excuses for this transgression. Still aside from all that, it has actually been surprisingly hectic for me so I suppose I have a semi-excuse, despite the fact that I no longer have a scholastic commitment. I blame GTA IV and having no reason to sleep early, other than work of course. Being more productive is in the agenda, it's just not in my immediate agenda. Damn me for being so procrastinatory. My spell check says that "procrastinatory" is not a word, but god damn it, it is now...

So anyway, I had some serious stuff to blog about, but I think I'll save the seriousness for later, given the tone I've started this blog entry with. It looks like tomorrow is the launch of the Apple 3G iPhone. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted. Metaphorically speaking of course, it's almost as if Eve herself is holding temptingly sweet fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, right out in front of my face, for me to eat its succulent and juicy flesh.

I kind of learned my lesson from the last 2G iPhone launch though and found that it is better to wait. The price is unlikely to drop like it did the first time around since it's actually half the price of the equivalent capacity original, with contract of course. Nonetheless, I do anticipate Apple releasing a higher capacity 3G iPhone, perhaps in the realm of 24GB to 32 GB, which of course I may or may not buy. Plus, they bumped the iPhone data plan up from $20 to $30, which is not really cool in my book.

I'm eyeballing several other models like the Nokia N96, the HTC Touch Pro, the Sony Ericsson C905 and the Sony Xperia X1, which aren't out yet, but look damn good specification-wise and are also damn sexy to boot.

There is of course a few phones that are available now, namely the Nokia N95-4 8GB (US), The HTC Touch Cruise and the HTC Touch Diamond 4GB. The N95 is pretty hot, despite the fact that it's missing a memory card slot. The Touch Diamond is arguably the sexiest of the bunch, but it only has 4GB and again no memory slot, plus it is only triband, not that I'm a world traveler or anything, but the tech geek in me demands that extra 900MHz band, you know just in case I find myself waking up in a gutter or dumpster in Eastern Europe. Hey it could happen...

Speaking of the iPhone I found blasphemous, yet hilarious iPhone-related passage set to the tune of "The Lord's Prayer". The path to hell has never been funnier.

Giving thanks for the Jesus phone

�Our Steve, which art in Cupertino,
hallowed be thy iPhone;
thy corporation come;
thy will be profitable,
in 22 countries as it was in the first 6.
Give us this day our 16GB.
And forgive us our Google Android,
as we forgive them that install Windows against you.
And lead us into an expensive contract;
but deliver us from Bill Gates.
[For thine is the iPod,
the iPhone, and the iTunes,
For ever and ever.
Apple.]

I probably going to burn in hell for this. :)"
