My wife is getting one free from her work. Unfortunately it's going to be 16GB, so we'll sell it to get a larger capacity one.

Lets you share your iPhone's 3G connection over Wi-Fi to other devices.

At a low, low fee of $20 per month and you have to abandon unlimited data. I'll just keep doing that with my jailbroken phone.

iMovie also
Hope it is better than the one for the iPhone as that one sucks.

Looks like it mimics the one for the Mac.

Ok, won't be doing that.

[Blueface]

Freaking store still updating.

I think I will hit 10,000 posts at the rate this is going.

Still looks pretty cool overall. We were planning on buying before my wife's company surprised us, and I think we still would have bought.
