a glob of nerdishness

Ok, so I’m not getting an iPhone (and don’t plan on even getting a cell phone anytime soon), but it is kinda fun to see what some people do the instant a new Apple product (or other hyped-up gadgets, not just Apple’s) comes out. For example, Think Secret has a gallery of their disassembly project, and AppleInsider has an article summarizing the take-apart job that the folks at iFixit did very soon after acquiring an iPhone.

Finally, for anyone who wants to see what it’s like to open up an iPhone box for the first time, CNET has been so kind as to post a video of the unwrapping of their iPhone.
