YouTube - iPhone’s Apple Light.

You could almost poke an eye out with that thing. Wow.

Not doing anything to help my blognundrum, I just stumbled across an appetizing new iPhone app this evening called Tumble. Yes, that light tingling feeling somewhere in the back of your head is right: this is an (unofficial) app for posting to a Tumblr blog, sans audio and video posts for obvious reasons. It’s free, and I’ll be trying it out soon.

The Register points out the differences in the communities that Nokia and Apple have been able to foster with their mobile platforms in Nokia: Our community is the best money can buy:

Many of you find the Apple cult downright creepy - and it is. But there’s no doubt that the enthusiasm exhibited by fanboys (and fangirls) is genuine. There are few sadder sights in London than the “flagship” Nokia Store on Regent Street, almost directly opposite Apple’s temple.

Good quotes from Nokia’s product manager on the issue.

YouTube - iPhone 3G turning on an electric razor.

I set my iPhone 3G down next to my electric razor, and the razor switched on all by itself. After a few tests I confirmed that this happens pretty reliably, though sometimes I have to unlock the iPhone’s screen or try it a couple times. Must be something about the EDGE antenna checking in, as I’m staying with family right now outside of 3G coverage.

I wonder what else the iPhone 3G can turn on?

Wow, the reviews aren’t treating Samsung’s iPhone-non-killing “Instinct” too well, so here’s a new tactic from Sprint: pay people to put the Instinct in a “home movie” on YouTube. Notice that the language doesn’t specify “your” Instinct; just someone’s Instinct. Any Instinct you can find.

Funny how iPhone owners appear more than happy to put their phone in YouTube home movies, spoofs, testimonials, and otherwise “zomg iPhone!” spots for free.

Best iPhone WordPress admin plug-in I’ve seen. Be sure to check out the rest of the screenshots. WPhone works across all the essential areas, but there’s no telling what it’ll do to plug-in-specific pages.

AlwaysWatching has details on action figures for “The Big Lebowski,” easily one of the greatest cult films of our time. The only way these could be cooler is if Goodman’s figure had a button to say “Shut the fuck up Donnie!”

Comic-Con attendees will get a first shot at them this year, and they’re available for pre-order at EntertainmentEarth as well.

TypePad introduced Blog It back in April, a cool little multi-service web app that bizarrely manifested as a Facebook application, of all things. Now, TypePad has morphed Blog It into an iPhone web app, living at http://blogit.typepad.com.

I haven’t signed in yet because I’m a bit too busy, but it appears to offer much of the same functionality wrapped in standard iPhone UI and controls. It also defaults to letting users sign in via OpenID. Cool.

This is really great news, as the one thing I missed from NewsGator’s web-based iPhone reader was its ability to mail links via MobileMail. While I think I’ll still wind up back in NewsGator’s universe with NetNewsWire on the desktop and NetNewsWire for iPhone next month, Google Reader for iPhone is finally an awesome and complete iPhone web app in my book.

Man, I sure hope the military doesn’t get ticked off that Jawbone ripped off their “military-grade audio processing technology” for the Jawbone 2. I hear those guys know how to kick ass.
