Hold, Please

Just when I was starting to forget how pissed off I am that Vermont is the only state without the iPhone, a coworker emails me about the iBrate (via Gizmodo).

iBrate is a simple application for the iPhone that makes it vibrate on command. It seems pretty lame though — only one vibrator setting, small Start/Stop buttons and how the heck are you supposed to keep the thing sanitary? They need to market the iBrate with a latex cover for your phone.

But, hey, maybe it'll keep your friends' grubby paws off your new iPhone.

BE WARNED!

Apple sucks, and they regularly update the iPhone's operating software for the express purpose of preventing it from working with 3rd party software (like iBrate). Many MANY people have reported that after installing 3rd party software (which voids your warranty, BTW), and then receiving an Apple update, their phone becomes completely useless (they call it an iBrick).

Apple's response to these customers of theirs is literally "So sorry; why don't just replace it with a new iPhone?"

Whoa. Good to know!

I wouldn't know, because they don't sell them in the Vermont.

Actually, some geek, you are incorrect. As for having an iphone in Vermont... I am a local Johnson resident and have one. Sure they will kick me off their plan in about one month (after 6 mos of consecutive use) but then I won't have to use AT&T the REAL culprit in the iphone world. I will simply unlock my iphone to use with Unicel the superior (free call in bound) carrier who is the company AT&T users piggyback on to use their service.

The iPhone is an AWESOME piece of modern technology. I bought mine the day it came out (online) and have never looked back. The updates they did were no problem, if you were not a fool to upgrade right away, as Apple warned, and i enjoy many many aspects of the little "vibrating" toy every day! Though I don't use the vibrating toy at all, the air hockey game i just added to it was VERY cool.

My blog tells all about it, up to when I stopped writing much about a month ago... www.iphone-vt.com.

Thanks for the iphone blog entry!
