Kodak seems pretty friggin proud of the fact that they imploded an old facility Saturday for no other reason than to “highlight” its EasyShare All-in-One printer line — which is both odd and fine, but certainly they could have used the occasion to introduce some cameras that aren’t, well, kind of sucky? (See, we’re still waiting for it to make good on that one video.) Either way, we’re most disappointed by the fact that Kodak didn’t seem to find any irony in a photography company blowing something up. Thank you, thank you, we’ll be here all week.

We heard yesterday that despite some issues over AT&T way, iPhone activations would (hopefully) be up and running smoothly by as early as this morning. Of course, evidenced by the flood of users continuing to tip us, we’d say a great deal of you are still experiencing activation problems. We’ve flipped the switch on a half dozen or so iPhones, and had no problems whatsoever. So to all you new iPhone owners out there, are you (still) having issues?

A couple months ago, we were excited about robotic chickens; now, Sega Toys announced that they’re coming out with three new robotic animal types for their highly popular Dream Pet series: a short-haired cat, an owl, and a parrot.

I can’t wait ’til they all hit the market so I can finish building my robotic animal farm…

Yeah, we hear ya, we know some of you are sick of it. That’s cool, exhaustive coverage of any gadget isn’t for everybody, but instead of making a big fuss in comments why not enjoy this beautiful summer weekend? We’re not skipping over other news to cover this iPhone stuff — news is ALWAYS really slow on the weekends, and we’ve got a major product to cover the hell out of. Still, we’ll try posting more stuff to mobile to cut down on the iPhone spam. Thanks for understanding!

The first video includes an iPhone and a Hammer, and speaks for itself.
The Second video shows the iPhone for more academic reasons.Not too surprisingly, the phone has components you’ve seen in other handsets.

Namely: It has the same processor on the HTC Titan, Same sound quality and storage RAM as the iPod Nano. Balda Touchscreen, known for durability and quality. Bluetooth Bluecore 4 ROM chip by Marvel, same as a Blackberry Pearl. There’s nothing surprising, which brings us back to the argument that design and software are the keys here.

Minutes after the first time I typed on an iPhone, I realized a trick that bumped accuracy to almost 99%. Instead of hunting and pecking, I’ve been sliding into place, letting the popups tell me what letter I’m on before releasing the key and triggering the keystroke. It’s been good training. I’m still not typing that fast, but I’m not making mistakes in this video. I can’t believe that after days with the iPhone, the first reviewers didn’t figure this trick out.

If you want an iPhone, you haven’t gotten one yet, and you operate in slow motion, now would probably be a good time to start worrying about availability. We’ve been hearing wide-scale reports since yesterday from AT&T stores across the country that locations have been unable to keep the device in stock, with some selling out in a matter of minutes after launch all video game console-style. For folks within driving distance of an Apple store, that hasn’t been a problem so far because Apple’s own retail locations seem to have been supplied with many, many units — and that, friends, is what’s starting to change. According to Apple’s iPhone locator, there are still plenty of locations with stock — but unlike last night, it’s not difficult at this point to find stores that have sold out as well. Think there’s any chance Apple’s gonna let the pipe run dry?
