Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
I subscribed to google reader yesterday while googling tech blogs.
Now I see this new post I haven’t read and thought I’d try it out.
I’m a recent high school grad and will be spending $600+ on books. Winning this ipone could save me money.
Also I have pretended 2 times to my friends to own an ipod.
One I nicknamed the iFone.

and had many friends fooled :)
Then I went to the apple store andf tested this cool gadget and took another picture to make my friends think i had bought it this time.

What reason could a Brilliant Geek (my website domain) like me have to not deserve this phone?
3rd Time I’d show my friends the iPhone and all it’s glory!.
Good luck to the winner!

(that still dosn’t run)
(5) i just got fired from my job, so i really have absolutly no money
(actually im in debt)
(6)the volume on my current phone only goes down, the up button is broken
(so i cant use my phone in noisy areas)
so there you are, 6 good reasons that i need a new iPhone
on July 13, 2007 at 10:19 AM - LINKI deserve an iPhone because I sold my Macbook to buy my wife a new camera… and now I miss my Apple.
That and Windows Mobile is driving me nuts.
on July 13, 2007 at 10:34 AM - LINKI’ve been looking at cell phones since I was working in an electronics store in 1999, way back then they were big plastic bricks with six inch antennas.
A couple years later I remember the first Motorola flip phones which were the first ones to resemble Captain Kirk’s communicator. And I remember Sony coming out with the super slim model (which was still huge by today’s standards) and it was a whopping $1500.
Phones got color screens, email, cameras, web access. The got smaller, better looking, and cheaper. But I have never owned one. The reason is, I’ve never *ever* seen one I liked. Heck, when I borrow a friend’s cell phone to make a quick call I can hardly figure out how the thing works.
I’m a Mac guy and I like simple, well thought out, innovative designs. I love the Apple design process which reduces the design to the point where the result seems obvious.
After 18 years of observing and evaluating, the iPhone is simply the only cell phone I have ever seen that I actually would like to own and use.
Thanks,
Stephen
PS. I subscribed to your feed and will check it daily. Great web site.
on July 13, 2007 at 10:40 AM - LINKI deserve and I phone because i’m a poor college student who has an awful razr, and cannot afford the iphone :(
on July 13, 2007 at 11:02 AM - LINKi would love an iphone because i want to fell the pleasure on just holding one in my palms, just feel it’s beauty and slickness. i want to feel the same way Americans do when they waited a whole week on that line just to have the first iphone. that feeling of iphone glory rushing through my vains so i can shout & scream yes i have and iphone. this towering form of technology will give me and insight of the future unlike my Siemens A75. its like the iphone will finally set me free into the real world but to do that i will need one. PLz consider me. Thank You.
on July 13, 2007 at 11:03 AM - LINKIts kinda like the old saying, If your name isnt in the hat, they want know your interested. You know,you can be the smartest man in the world, but if you dont speak up
on July 13, 2007 at 11:40 AM - LINKnobody will ever know !
My wife and I really want iPhones bad…but our old XP machine is on its last leg and we are going to put our money toward a 24” iMac first…then work on iPhones. But, my wife’s crappy old RAZR is driving her nuts..I sure would love to get her an iPhone now (I will wait for mine). Thanks!
on July 13, 2007 at 11:48 AM - LINKSimple.I just wanna to hack it for using in China…...
on July 13, 2007 at 12:14 PM - LINKI deserve an iPhone because I am a theatre major who is spending her summer working full-time as a tech support consultant at my large University.
Do you know how soul-crushing it can be to not only work in a field that despite being good at, is not your passion in life? Not to mention the fact that being a tech support consultant is essentially being a whipping-boy for everyone who can’t/won’t/doesn’t care to use their computer correctly.
on July 13, 2007 at 02:32 PM - LINKI’m not complaining, I mean, I make decent money. But not enough for an iPhone. And if I had an iPhone, I would tell everyone I bought it with the money I made working here, so that I would become a tech support legend (the theatre major who worked so hard she got an iphone)
i want one
on July 13, 2007 at 02:34 PM - LINKThe iPhone haunts me in my dreams. The only way it will leave me alone, is if I have one for myself. Please stop this cycle of sleepless nights, pain and suffering. Only you can do it.
on July 13, 2007 at 02:49 PM - LINKI love the intelligent, beautifully designed UI of the iPhone. Not only does it makes calls, browse the internet, and function as an iPod extremely well, it sets a new standard in mobile computing. I am confident that if I win this device, I would get a ton of daily use out of it. I would love to be able to access mobile email, contacts, and calendar items right on my mobile with full web-browsing capacity. I figure it’s worth a shot. Cheers!
on July 13, 2007 at 02:51 PM - LINKI’ve been a MacJunkie since day one, when I bought the first Mac. I still have it and it still runs beautifully. I’d LOVE to be able to have this iPhone.

on July 13, 2007 at 02:53 PM - LINKI deserve an iPhone because I’m not gonna post a sob story. Frankly, they’re just so damn cool, and I’m an Apple geek.
on July 13, 2007 at 03:53 PM - LINKI just really want an iPhone!
on July 13, 2007 at 04:09 PM - LINKi dont deserve the iPhone. no one on here does. but i do really want it. I am about to go with my band on tour across the US. and i need a new phone to watch videos and browse the web, cause its basically a month of driving.
on July 13, 2007 at 04:09 PM - LINKMy stalwart 3-year-old Nokia died finally, prompting search for replacement. I’ve been going from used phone to used phone, trying to live some semblance of a normal cellular life. Most phones I’ve tried have been awful, and hard to use (I’m looking at you Moto SLVR!) I need that iPhone because I need a phone that works dammit! I want to swoop into meetings on time because I set three alarms and used Google Maps to find the quickest route. I want to wow my friends and loved ones by flicking through treasured memories on a 480x320 resolution screen! I wanna jam to my tunes, set up a conference call, and browse the web from the palm of my hand! I’m ready for a smarter phone- that phone is iPhone.
on July 13, 2007 at 04:22 PM - LINKI have always been a Mac consumer, from the old Apple 2 and and The Newton, to more recently the Cube and Macbook. As a matter of fact, my whole family are Mac users. I hope to win the iPhone to add to our ever growing collection!
on July 13, 2007 at 05:31 PM - LINKI have read many of the previous comments and some of them sound very worthy and deserving of a new iPhone. I’d like to throw my request in the ring as well. I’m an Apple evangelist but I haven’t been able to afford any new toys lately. I’m currently trying to pay off a very large amount of medical bills from a partial kidney failure last year. I’m not desperate and could probably afford the monthly AT&T fee. I finally convinced myself I didn’t want one, knowing I couldn’t afford the cost upfront but after playing with them at the Apple Store with my three kids I really would like one. I currently do not own a cell phone. Thanks for the consideration.
on July 13, 2007 at 07:51 PM - LINKI believe I deserve an apple iPhone because I dedicate all my technical knowledge to the community and the elderly. I have been keeping up with technology, learning experiencing, fixing consulting, teaching everything I know to those who know not about technology. I normally don’t even charge to do computer repair in my area because the people I am helping already great members of the community. I excel at teaching the elderly, as I am patient, and can relate with just about anybody. Normally I don’t think I would need an iPhone, but having one and using it, I can offer great insight to those who are looking at new technological purchases… my current phone is also old and outdated anyway.
on July 13, 2007 at 08:36 PM - LINKI am a huge Microsoft fan. I have 3 computers running, Windows Vsita Ultimate x64, Vista Home Premium, and XP Pro. I’m a 19 year old semi-poor college student. A free iPhone would definetly lead to my banishment of Microsoft and turn me from a MSFanboy to an Apple Love Child.
on July 13, 2007 at 08:39 PM - LINKI don’t really deserve one. I don’t think anyone really does. I love the features though and I’d love to be able to have my music and videos on the go. Also, having a decent phone would be nice. (Mine is horrible…)
Maybe a late entry could win it…
on July 13, 2007 at 08:42 PM - LINKI deserve an iphone because I still make tapes off of the radio.
*fingers crossed*
