Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

here was the line at the Apple Store in OakBrook, IL around 5:30-6pm

I was toying with the idea of getting an iPhone to see how I would like it, but in the end I decided to stay with my Nokia N95. The lack of a nice camera is the only thing really hurting the iPhone in my eyes.

I did goto an an AT&T store and ask if it would be possible to create a NEW account, then get the iPhone3G at the subsidized price then cancel my contract and pay the ETF which would still be cheaper than buying an official unlocked iPhone. And then I could use the pwnage tool and use my regular AT&T sim to try it out. Also get the programs i really would want on the iPhone like QIK.

So Tom what is swirling around you head for the iPhone? Game Dev? a mobile version of NG? Well you (vaguely) know me, i'd kill for some opportunity to work @ NG, so if an AS3 programmer
(fully understands OOP, Garbage Collection, Event Driven logic, pretty much all the ins and outs of Flash) could learn the Dev Syntax for iPhone lemmie know. (yeah, i know i didn't pm this ^_~)

I have a cell phone, no internet, no geo tracking abilities, and it works like a dream. ^_^

Fuck you.

Also, there are a lot of flash type game in development for the Iphone. We should perhaps start working on a page for Iphone apps + games much like the PSP page.

Hells yeah! Cell phone should equal cell phone, not everything. Cause anyone knows that as soon as anything breaks down, you can live your live and deal with it. When everything breaks down, you're screwed. Besides, they don't have enough memory to do many things of use, I'll stick to the individual cell phone, digital camera, and mp3 player seperately thank you (besides, you should know the saying that a swiss army knife isn't exceptional in any aspect).

Wooo, well done casualty.

The iPhone seems like a very powerful and very versatile little machine that has a very bright future going for it. However, like most things Apple-related, it's expensive, obfuscatory, and bureaucratic. $600 is almost certainly far too much to pay for a machine that can do much less than my computer-- which cost a mere $700 for more powerful hardware, a bigger screen, and a distinct lack of a bigass apple slapped on it to show everyone that I'm Apple's bitch andf proud of it.

Astley. And really... c'mon.

So other than the internet, which a lot of phones have now a days, why is the iPhone so popular? Is it the "i" in the front?

Here's how it works, though... Under their original agreement, Apple got a cut of the monthly subscriber revenue from AT&T. Under the new agreement, AT&T pays Apple a flat one-time fee for each phone sold, and Apple uses a portion of that money to subsidize the cost of the phone - hence the $199 price tag. BUT, AT&T now needs to be sure that every iPhone purchase comes with a signed commitment to AT&T, which is why you can't buy the iPhone until you've signed the AT&T contract.

Therefore, AT&T gets your money guaranteed with that special contract. If you do not have a job, your better off with an itouch. Which, I may have to do. :/

Congrats to the wiiner. I hope April enjoys her gift, that lucky girl. :D

cool cool, congrats casualty.

your story has moved me

I hope that $100 is going towards Newgrounds Log.

Tom, if you read this, I sent you a PM and I hope it'll suffice, because I'm leaving for ten days from now :o

Also, thanks to everyone again, I'm sure one of you'll be the next winner ;)

Well, tbh, there's no money going into NG Log, nor do I win any money with it. The only thing that goes into NG Log, is my efforts. For the moment, it's kind of stalling, but it still does the job pretty well. So for now, no changes, but I have plans for later. Waaay later, so be patient =]

Wall of TEXT. Gotta came up.

That difficulty you had with the iPhone really reminds me of when I got the last book in the Harry Potter series... there was a MOB of people. Besides, I could never get the iPhone because I have Verizon. =/ Oh well, I'm happy with my Samsung Juke anyways.

Congratulations to Casualty! He truly deserves that prize for his work on Newgrounds Log.

WHAT ARE YOU STUPID!

Apple's a load of shambles in computers and mobile phones.

I hate Apple stuff in general, they are so hard to work with.

I buy stuff on iTunes, but I can't send it to people or edit/use the file in any other way but listen to it on iTunes? What the fuck is that?

Greedy bastards...
