too much hype. that is all i have to say about that. :-)

don’t believe me? have you actually seen the numbers of how much it will cost to own one for the full two years of your plan? let’s go to the boards! (graph via engadget)

iphone cost comparison

did i also mention the slew of features it doesn’t have (via gizmodo):

• Songs as Ringtones
• Games
• Any flash support
• Instant Messaging
• Picture messages (MMS)
• Video recording
• Voice recognition or voice dialing
• Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Streaming (A2DP)
• One-size-fits-all headset jack (May have to buy an adapter for certain headphones)

ok, so now that we have that out of the way, lets switch to some ubuntu news! just in case you missed it, ubuntu is the up-and-coming linux operating system that is rivaling microsoft’s windows vista. it is free, has a large support community over at ubuntu forums, and is very stable. dell is now offering laptops built with the ubuntu operating system in 8 colors. now you can a shiny new laptop, in espresso brown, that works well, for under $800! (via dell online store)
