Will the iPhone 4 blend? What do you think?

Oh come on. You knew it was coming, ever since the iPhone 4 was announced. And here it is. There's not much to say -- you know what's going to happen. Just watch and enjoy.

And kudos, BlendTec. It's even cornier (and more surreal) than usual, but pays off nicely. One question: who is that dude, really? Michael Dell?

He's from Northern Utah... I believe Layton.. So, chances are, he's Mormon. Great people, but holding onto ideals a few centuries too long.

To be honest... I kind of look forward to these just to see the durability of the product being blended. I mean, just look at the different iPhone blending videos. The first iPhone definitely took longer than the 3G and the glass was the first part to break on it. The 3G just turned into talc pretty quickly. This proves that Apple really did make some vast improvements on the glass for the iPhone4. It withstood some heavy damage and actually warped before it broke. Wow!

I'm with Dan P. on this one. Wasteful and stupid. I can see this sort of thing being amusing...once. How about a series "Will it be shat on"? I don't care who likes this, I think it's just dumb to put stuff in a blender that you're not eating after wards.

Flame on!

Eh. I'm just curious about how they get rid of the waste. The battery and internal doodads all ground up seems to be a recipe for some toxic soup.

It's Utah, they probably just dump it in a trout stream.

These used to annoy me, now I kind of look forward to it. If you get blended, you know you've made it! It's hard to say how good they are as adverts. Sure, they are cheap to make and mostly entertaining, but if I went shopping for a blender I might go, "ooh a blendtec" but probably wouldnt buy one. Do I really need to blend anything but food? It's a shame they can't blend things that could still be recycled after. They do kind of bad things for the environment.

Made it? WTF? Some morons in Utah stick your product in a blender. Woo. Would you be impressed if there were some guy making a "will it fit in my ass?" series of videos?

I suspect Apple doesn't really measure their success by these asshats. I'm guessing they pay more attention to the millions of actual users, the people filling the stores, the rate of downloads from the iTunes store, and their stock price.

You know, meaningful things.

These commercials are just stupid now. Which is why tuaw moronically laps it up.

The only thing I don't like about this is that I didn't get my iPhone 4 ordered until the 18th, and so mine isn't expected to be available until a "ships by" date of July 14. So I could be using mine right now while they just threw one in a blender, that sucks.

Wait...isn't it toxic? Hope he is wearing some sort dust mask when he opens that thing. Or not if you don't like the ads.

One of these tools from this site was interviewing people in line for iPhone in Salt Lake City. I too think it's wasteful. We get it, everything blends. They should stick to making salsa or maybe fruit smoothies. D-bags.
