Sorry if people are having trouble with comments — the server was being flaky, but I think I might have fixed it now. Lo siento.

The Macalope must have left you a coded message! Great scoop Merlin. I was watching the ad delayed on my DVR while you were busy breaking the news.

As always the first and last stop on the web each day is 43F. I am theoretically 10 times more productive - I can feel it – literally.

Great ads. I want. Must buy. 599 is not too much. I would trade my mother for one of these things. Just give me, now.

I feel like Cartman waiting for a wii.

“Merlin-thanks for posting those! I really wasn’t thinking about getting one until I saw them. Even my wife asked when they’ll be available. They appear to be very able to dominate the crappy world of phones. Nothing else comes close. The real question is will this spur any creativity on the part of Nokia, LG, Sony, Motorola? “
