Hedge*hog*ing v. Interrupting conversations in an office environment by poking your head over the top of the cube.
While we are not obsessing over the Apple iPhone and its impending launch, we do have a couple of comments on the device: First, can someone please get us one to test (smiley face) (immediately)??? Then, while we’re not criticizing necessarily, how exactly are AT&T/Apple going to address the battery issue. It turns out that you can’t buy a replacement battery for the iPhone; you have to send in the device and they’ll replace the battery for you. While this may be fine for a music device, it doesn’t really work for a necessity like a cellphone. And we are starting to wonder whether these iPhone customers will consider themselves Apple consumers or AT&T consumers. Apple sent out e-mails to its iPod base boasting about the iPhone and failed to mention AT&T anywhere in the release. Must have been an oversight.

If Frontline Communciations’ 700 MHz proposal is so brilliant (former FCC Chairman Mark Fowler just signed onto the bandwagon) how come no one thought of it before? I mean several of the people behind the proposal certainly had the power at one time or another to spearhead a movement like that. Just asking, not judging.

From the we-can’t-make-this-up department: Hong Kong-based content vendor Artificial Life announced a new mobile game called . wait for it. “LET GO OF MY BANANA.” Classic. And yes, the company did write the title of their game in all caps.

Sprint Nextel put out a press release this week titled, “How to stay connected to work while you play during the summer months.” Our only question is: Why, Sprint Nextel, why? Why do you hate the human race so much that you want us to work during summer vacation? You are so mean.
