Always great coverage here. Think I'll try the iPhone version this year. Twitter's a great addition for people on the go (though it's likely to go down due to traffic).

This is going to be the LONGEST WEEKEND EVER in anticipation, which is fine by me because I'm going home to see my girlfriend and every time I do that the days fly by...would be great to slow it down. I think she's starting to get sick of me talking about it though.
NEW IPHONE AHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I still think that there is going to be one mind-blowing revelation that none of us had even considered. The first iPhone pretty much blew everything out of the water and surpassed most people's expectations in several areas. I know it did for me.
