The Craziness of iDay

Alright, I'm technically breaking one of my rules for the blog, but the madness that has/is occurring today is just too much to ignore. So what the hell is iDay? Only the day that Apple or the iCompany is set to release its latest iDevice incarnation... no I'm not going to reference it by its iName, instead I will be referring to it as that really expensive iThing, you'd love to have but don't want to throw that kind of cash at. So in a slight protest to the iHype device that is taking over my RSS feeds. I thought I'd recap all the iNews, because thats all I can read and apparently talk about.

The iHype has had a pretty warm reception by the 4 people who we allowed to have one before the launch(WSJ,NYT,Newsweek,USA Today), which left even a few of the tech luminaries green with iEnvy. In which the iReviewers basically stated its shiny, has decent battery life, has an average call quality, and EDGE sucks...oops I mean iEDGE, but does it still suck? Which quickly convinced everyone without an iLife or those with a day off to start lining up next to their friendly neighborhood iStore....sort of.

The iDevice will set you back around $499 and $599 for the iCoolGuy and iFanboy (basically the iCoolGuy + 4GB=8GB) models respectively. The data plans that go with the iDevice is actually pretty typical and striaght forward basically take all standard cell rates, add $20, and you'll have yourself an iPlan, for a minimum of two years(of course).The iHype device will work with iTunes to allow its iCustomers to leave the Apple iStore in a nice orderly fashion and run straight back to their iHome and setup their new fancy iPod with its new snazzy phone support.

There won't be any third party iApps on the iHype at least for a little while, instead the iWeb Devs of the world have been asked to make iSites that sound remarkably like Web 2.0 sites.

Oh yeah and his Jobiness announced to the Mac minions of the world or better known as the iEmployee, that all Apple employees that have been with the iFaith for longer than a year will recieve their very own iHype device of their very own to iFlick, iSmudge, and iDrop and get this they get it for free.

By the by if you think its just random iPeople waiting in those crazy iDay lines at the Apple iStore's you'll be happy to note that you've got a few other pretty important iPeople waiting too, such as co-iCompany founder iWoz and the iMayor of Philadelphia.

Feel free to send me an e-mail with any other topics regarding iDay that I may have missed.
