First Look: Will It Blend? for iPhone and iPod touch

Apparently I'm not the only person who loves to watch the Blendtec "Will It Blend?" videos on YouTube. The company reports that the video series has had over 100 million views so far, making it one of the more successful viral marketing campaigns.

Now you can see the top 20 "Will It Blend?" episodes in all their high quality color glory, thanks to a new app of that name. Treat yourself and friends to the thrill of Tom Dickson (right) feeding an iPhone 3G into a Blendtec blender in higher quality than you've ever seen it before.

Other favorites -- iPod, glow sticks, and Chuck Norris, to name a few -- are included as well. What's great is that you don't need a 3G or Wi-Fi connection to download these wonderful videos, as they're built into the app.

The US$1.99 app (click opens iTunes) will soon feature the ability to blend anything in your iPhoto Library. It currently updates with new videos on a regular basis, and features links to all other episodes in the classic series. The developer, iAppsNow, is offering the app on sale for only US$0.99 through the end of the year.

What would you blend if you were Tom Dickson? Let us know!

Erm, it says in the post: over a hundred million views. Hence, a popular series. Hence, people seem to like it. Hence, for all the people with intellects far too supirior than the rest of us lowley mortals, it's something that people might want to read about on, say, some sort of 'entertainment web-log'?

(ps the iPhone-free feed's there for a reason)

Why waste space and insult the intelligence of readers with crap like this; suitable perhaps, for those under twelve years of age?

I am so sick of these stupid "will it blend?" videos, right along with those morons who smash stuff. Why is this entertaining at all? Good lord.... can't people think of better things to do or better ways to advertise?

This blurs the border of buying videos in the Itunes Media Store or in the App Store, right?!
