Here's a shot of President Bush's advisor, Karl Rove, using his iPhone. If you're playing TUAW iPhone Bingo, you'll notice that we haven't completed a row yet, but we're close. So far, we've placed an "X" on:
- IM on the iPhone (unofficially, of course)
- Take a screencap (with a bit of hacking)
- Apple is sued over something with the iPhone (this took longer than we expected, actually)
- iPhone is hacked
- iPhone will blend
- iPhone gets games

Can't you also use the iPhone as a mountable storage device on Windows?

I can confirm an iPhone has both been in a toilet and in a pool, haven't heard about an ocean yet but the month is young.

I don't know if this counts, but my first iPhone was being passed around at a family gathering and it was dropped in a root beer float.
Amazingly, it still works.

i thought that "IM on an iPhone" and "take a screencap" meant *officially* -- hacks seem like, you know, cheating. of course, that means my board is less full, boo.

I think any statement about Karl Rove must be followed with ", still an asshole" as in "Karl Rove uses an iPhone, still an asshole"

Or maybe we should point out that you're an asshole every time you post. Like "Oh yeah, J, the asshole, insisted on turning an iPhone post into a political rant."
Asshole.

Karl is great...so is Rush, whose commentary is what finally brought me into the Mac world after seeing his setup on Rush 24/7 and his overall commentary on the OS.
President Bush, Karl Rove, and Rush Limbaugh = all Apple users = All great Americans !
BTW, Rush has praised the iPhone multiple times on his show and gave away 10 of them last month.

How is one sentence a political rant?

Since when has the iPhone "gotten games"? Last time I checked on iTunes, there were no game downloads for the iPhone.

Another excellent reason to NOT buy an iPhone. Just like everything... a matter of time until it attracts the "Criminal" element! Probably is easier to foist a scheme to deceive the American people on, and hopefully will be used the answer subpoena's.
Impeach the Regime!

"Thanks to Mr. Rove, we can now add 'Pope, President, Queen, etc. receives one.'"
Which one is Karl?

Ars Technica dropped the iPhone in a toilet during their stress test almost a month ago. http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/iphone-review.ars/13 .

I don't get it, Karl uses this country as a toilet, has toilet hands and toilet friends, etc...it's not funny.
