Apple iPhone iDay: It's Here
The iPhone, which combines the functions of an iPod with a smart phone, goes on sale in the U.S. at 6 p.m. and is one of the most anticipated gadgets in recent years. Two models will offered; the 4GB model costs $499, and the 8GB model is priced at $599. Users also have to sign a two-year contract with carrier AT&T Inc. The cost of those plans range from $59.99 per month to $99.99 per month.
Some prospective buyers have been camping outside stores in hopes of being among the first to own one of the new smart phones. A surge in demand for the iPhones could make the devices hard to come by at first, depending on the number that Apple and AT&T have in stock.

On Friday, June 29, not everyone in the continental U.S. will be waiting in line to purchase a $500 iPhone. In fact, hundreds of thousands of digital aficionados around the globe won't be standing in line at all, for June 29 marks the release of version 3 of the GNU General Public License (GPL). Version 2 of the GPL governs the world's largest body of free software—software that is radically reshaping the industry and threatening the proprietary technology model represented by the iPhone.Jesusphone: He is Risen

Google Reader iPhone Skin
Google Reader iPhone Skin uses the Greasemonkey concept of modifying the look and feel of a web application through dynamically loaded JavaScript. By deconstructing the DOM and obfuscated .js file, I modified the page elements while preserving Reader's basic functionlity. For the iPhone, I'm hoping that JavaScript bookmarks will work as they do on the desktop browser.Digg API iPhone Interface
