Is it a feminine product?

Is it a cool, hip, stylish apartment unit?

Is it a chair cushion with USB technology?

Is it a notebook with Firewire?  (and by notebook I mean an actual paper notebook from the 90’s, not a laptop; hilarious blast from the past, I know!)

Guess what?!  It’s none of those things!  It’s a giant iPhone that you need bigger pants to put it in!  Honestly, I see its potential in niche markets (home theater control center, security center, smart home dashboard, competitor to the Amazon Kindle, etc.) but as a general web browsing computer with which to make spreadsheets and slideshow presentations?!  Aww, snap!  Oh no he didn’t!

I guess this is the first Apple product I’m a little skeptical about, but I suppose we’ll see if Jobs and the bloodhound gang can do it again, eh?

… That’ll be free. Please pull ahead to the next window…

Well, what I’m about to share with you is almost as good as getting a free meal at a local fast food joint. At least I’d like to think so!

I’m happy to announce that I have just completed version 1.0 of Jabloggy Mobile! That’s right folks, Jabloggy on your phone! But not just any phone! Jabloggy Mobile has been optimized for the wondrous marvel we call the iPhone.

Now I know that those of you without iPhones are probably cursing wildly at me, and I don’t blame you. However, the only reason I say that is because I don’t have any other phone available to me here at home to test it on. So if you want, I urge you to give it a go on your other, more primitive phone device and let me know if it works or not. If you send in your feedback and phone model, I can even start a little list on this post of compatible phones. Whaddya think of that??? Am I a nice guy or what?!

Check it out for yourself and share with others, just like mommy always taught you: http://m.mattjacoby.com

Hopefully my first of many posts via my new iPhone interface. I plan on taking a little vacation with my better half and her little one this weekend to visit my parents. We’ll be relaxing on the lake Saturday on a pontoon. I bet you’re really jealous! Have a good holiday weekend and we’ll be together again next week (I know you’ll miss me)

That, my friends, truly is the question here. For those who are totally petarded when it comes to technology, I’m referring to the 2nd generation (version 2.0) of the iPhone, which was announced on June 9th at WWDC in San Francisco and will be released on July 11th worldwide.

Sure the new version kicks more ass than the 1st generation iPhone. It has 3G technology (faster cell network), GPS, a raised headphone jack (if you own one, you know this was a slightly frustrating on the 1st gen), and a new plastic-ish back that comes in either white or black (16 gig model; 8 gig only in black).

But that’s kinda where I feel the new-ness of the 2nd generation iPhone ends. Everything else that it’s getting is software-based, and all 1st generation iPhone owners are getting the same software upgrade, iPhone software version 2.0.

So am I happy with my 1st gen iPhone yet? Definitely. Do I see the need to upgrade to a 2nd gen yet? Not really. Maybe I’ll consider it when my contract is up next year, and by then it’s possible the 3rd gen will be right around the corner.

Anyone else own an iPhone? What’s your opinion? Leave some 1st generation iPhone love in my comments if you feel so inclined.
