Clamshell iPhone Pro

So you've seen the original iPhone Pro concept, now check out the clamshell version. Though it's a bit thicker, the phone would definitely give the Sprint Instinct some competition.

A look at some of the best iPhone and iPod Touch Apps of 2008.

The iPhone and iPod Touch have taken the world by storm. In just a little over six months time we’ve witnessed the doors of the iTunes App Store opening to the 10,000 app marker being crossed. In between that time we’ve see the $999 I’m Rich make several people poor, fart joke apps earning over $25K in one day, and Apple still looking the other way when users mention copy and paste. And with the number of total apps reaching over 13,500 less than a month since the 10,000 mark was passed, that growth is showing no signs of stopping. But some of these stand out much more than others do, so we’ve tried to hone in on the cream of the crop.

If it doesn’t have a video camera capability built in, I still don’t care.

PS Before anyone freaks out, I never said that this was real. It’s a leaked image based on a rumor and it could very easily just be fake.

Happy New Year!

What are your New Year's resolutions? Tell me in the comments!

Wisdom Teeth?

On Friday I got my wisdom teeth removed. One side of my mouth is completely healed up, but the other side hurts really bad. I hope it will be better for Christmas.
I haven't made a new video because my face is swollen up, so I'm not really in the video making mood right now. I will hopefully make another one by Christmas!
Happy Holidays!

SNOWDAY!

No school today. We get another snow day, with only four more days until Christmas break. I enjoy snow days, but I wish we could get them without getting all of the snow. Where I live, we already have over two feet of snow! Way too much!

Why I can't make videos right now.

The other day, when I was making a video, my tripod fell over, and my camera hit the ground, very hard. It worked for a few more days, but a couple of days ago it died. I want to get a new camera right now, but I don't have enough money. I think I'm going to have to wait until Christmas, because then I might be able to get a new one!
Until then, I won't be making any videos, but I will still go on my YouTube account. I will be posting more regularly on this blog, so be sure to make your own account and follow my blog.
I hope to be able to get a camera before Christmas, but until then, I will only be doing blog posts.
Be sure to follow my blog!
