Who does David Pogue know?
In his jocular and well-produced introductory video for his iPhone review, New York Times writer David Pogue demos all the key features of the device, including the contact list. Wait just a second -- who's that there at the top of the 'S' section? Could it be... yes, it's the power-blogger who singlehandledly moved the phrase "Zaprudering the iPhone" onto the Google Zeitgeist! It's true, TUAW's very own Erica Sadun rates a spot in El Pogueso's iPhone address book.Sure, you could say that David has Erica's contact info because they share a publisher and actually collaborated on a book a few years ago, but we're convinced it's because she's just so darned cool.
Thanks, BdeRWest.

Yep. Saw that :)
Excellent, excellent little video by David Pogue & crew. Except I was getting time-outs at 1:30 - 2:00 into it, last night. Server too busy?
The same can't be said for Walt's WSJ video. Apparently he can't say a sentence without one or more 'eh's (gets better later in the clip). High time for a speaking class! Maybe they could consider published version a draft and re-record it a few times till it is more fluent.

Congrats Erica.
Seriously though guys, any chance you could limit the iPhone news to maybe 20% of the news on the site?
I can't take another week of all the iPhone non-news.
Mac news please? Mostly Mac news? Hell I'd be happy with 50% Mac news? 10%? Something?

Jason, we have an iPhone free feed if you want to see only what we post about everything other than the iPhone:
http://www.tuaw.com/2007/06/22/iphone-free-tuaw-feed/
Since the iPhone is the big news this week, we'll probably be posting EVEN more about it (just like we do whenever something new from Apple is released).

Little brother of boy-band singer/dancer extrodinaire Nick Carter. Although don't ask me if he was in 98 Degrees, The Backstreet Boys of NSYNC...

Wow, that's cool, Erica ;-)

The UI is the biggest question mark in the iPhone's future, and the keyboard, the most key driver of the adoption curve ... http://sramanamitra.com/blog/999
I still cannot imagine typing long blocks of text on this device, but if they have truly got this right ...

About the Aaron Carter thing, this woman has it as well. Maybe Apple supplied with music?!

I'm more disturbed that he has Aaron Carter in his playlist, how can I take him seriously after that?

Hey Erica,
You're in my (Model A-type) phone too 'cause you're so cool (or maybe I just want to talk to the kids?)
Your sister, Sally
