I would give just about anything to have Pogue's job for a month.

You may get your wish...Pogue's job might be open if he keeps making idiotic videos like this one. Awful. I've seen more inspired stuff on my local junior high school cable channel.

Decent review, I suppose. Complete lack of humor.

"Cheap or free apps" sounds like "Cheap as Free" toys from the Strongbad website.
Can't wait for the app store.

That was dumb. Last year's video was so much better!

He's always corny but that was lame and uninspired.

"Half humor???" That's extremely generous. Pogue is no Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. No entertainment value whatsoever.

Did anybody else notice HOW LONG HIS LEGS were when he sat down at the end? David Pogue is a tall man.

Holy crap, 3 minutes to load? I have never waited that long for a page. Maybe my EDGE connections are just a lot better out here?

I found it funny because what David said is what I've thought all along ever since the iPhone 3G was introduced. Really, I see no reason to upgrade at all. My city doesn't get 3G and my iPhone is the 16Gb version. Actually, I won't even update my iPhone firmware to 2.0 until it has been confirmed that it can be jailbroke. I'm not saying to anyone not to upgrade to the new iPhone 3G, that's your decision to make. I'll hang on to my 16Gb iPhone 1.0 until Apple decides to really put out an upgrade, like 32Gb mem for starters, updated Bluetooth, better camera (with flash maybe and video functions?), cut/copy and paste, decidedly a better battery. Also, does anyone know if the iPhone's 3G antenna is in constant sleep mode until it picks up a 3G signal? Similar to how many cell phones out there turn off the wifi antenna whenever it fails to pickup a wifi signal?
