A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Okay, waiting...
Right, so instead of 1 minute it took about 28 minutes, which is a lifetime on the Int0rw3b2z2, but that's okay. So now that we've covered that, we'll still have to witness:
1) the first full user review including software installation, configuration and what-have-you with pictures and all
2) same as 1), but then in video-format
3) the first full user thrashing of an iPhone, smashed to bits right outside the store where 150 people are still anxiously awaiting their precious purchase
And then we've covered the whole initiation procedure again, and life will continue... but it will be a better life, a life with an iPhone... an iLife!
What i want to see is someone cracking it open (and 3G in Europe!)
Its like pRon !!!
But i tought that iLife came bundled with the purchase of a new mac?
But... If you broke it right outside the store, wouldn't you still have to pay the two-year contract?
upload quicker dammit
You'll have to be patient. It's only EDGE...
What bloody year is this? Where the friggin' video!!?¿
What is this thing again?
You talk to your iPhone?
I envy you! I want one so bad, but I'll never be able to afford one at the moment.
i can't wait no more its 4 am here in india
lol. . . 4:06 AM to be exact, actually. Geez, I thought I'd be the only Indian up for this!
You are staying up all night to read about the launch of a product that is not even available in your country? WHAT?
unfortunately i had a powercut and had to sleep :( (my dell wont last lonngg :D)
[quote]Files are uploading now. Just one more minute, then say hello to iPhone.[/quote]
Come on, that minute has passed now!
ah, uploading uing EDGE... ;)
must be on AT&T ...slow upload
I need to take a leak! Hurry up!
still waiting...
I don't see anything...
I think my refreshes alone are paying their electric bill for the month haha
i wish there were more live bloging..
its 1:40 here in Israel and im lovin it !
How is it 4:06AM in India at 6:36PM Eastern US... I'm pretty sure that half time zones don't exist, or do they?
They do. India is GMT +5.5.
Yes it does.. India is GMT+5.30 and East coast is GMT-5.00.
You would be "pretty sure"dly wrong there.
There are actually a number of "half" time zones, including Indian Standard Time.
I had no idea... how annoying that seems like it would be. thanks for the info
There's even 3/4 time zones, cf. Nepal/
Anybody in Canada who has watched anything CBC has heard the classic:
.... showing at 7pm, 7:30 in Newfoundland.
They should really just pick one side and stick with it!
Whats with Apple/AT&Ts stupidity on not letting people who call in know if they have a phone available or not... How is that going to foster new customers... "Im sorry Mr customer I cant tell you if I have any phones available so your SOL"
What do you want them to say, "Yes, we do have iPhones currently in stock"? That wouldn't be lying but there is a good chance those iPhones will be gone by the time the customer gets a chance.
I can't believe I still have to wait till next year that I can get one here in Sydney, Oz!
Right here with you... not fair :'(
Oh yes they do Andrew, check here: http://www.worldtimezone.com/
Damn, I had no idea... that's gotta cause some serious confusion

You suck at the internet
where is it where is it where is it...
I'm so excited
where is it?
maybe you should have uploaded the pictures first.. then posted the article.
my friend its 4:10 AM here in India on the 30th of june, where as its 6:45 pm in NYC on 29th june....
Ooh, what's it like to live in the future???
Well, to tell you the truth, rp, it's not much fun living in the future. For one thing, the damned iPhone doesn't come out 'til (hopefully) next year!
Damn... I knew the upload speeds of AT&T's EDGE is slow, but I didnt expect it to be THIS slow!
*cough*
I had no idea... how annoying that seems like it would be. thanks for the info.
Do we have anybody in Seattle? I arrive there on the 5th.. and really hope there will still be a supply then :-(
stupid EDGE speed
