We’re here! But, we’re not first in line. That’s ok, we’ll still be bringing you play-by-play coverage of the iPhone launch event. Due to technical issues, we don’t have video for you at the moment, but we’re working on it.

As of now we’re waiting in line behind a bunch of Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone fanatics – and everyone’s have a great time! The people in line are as friendly as can be and, the line is slowly growing. We expect the line to explode early tomorrow (Friday) morning, so stay tuned!

You can’t replace the battery … great engineering my ass:

We’ve got another review from tech-columnist Edward Baig, of USA Today. During his time with the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone, Mr. Baig basically sums up our current expectations of the iPhone. It’s a great, sleek phone, with massive curb appeal – if you want to pony-up the entrance fee for a ride in iPhone-land. Says Mr. Baig, “No question, the iPhone is striking to look at. The revelation is that it’s also comfortable to hold and touch. Mostly black and silver with a stainless-steel bezel surrounding the top surface, it’s light (under 5 ounces) and less than a half-inch thick, or roughly two iPod Nanos placed on top of each other. It’s a little taller and wider than a Nano.”

Ed praises the multi-touch interface, noting that finger-smudges are not that problematic. The lack of a physical keyboard is not a problem for this reviewer – despite his missing the tactile feedback, Ed found that the virtual keyboard “is easy.” But, again, AT&T (NYSE: T)’s EDGE network leaves a lot to be desired – if you’re not within range of a wireless access point (wifi hotspot). And, as an iPod, Ed gives huge props to the beautiful widescreen with auto-rotating orientation.

Not much in this review other than reiterating what we already knew, but check it out anyways. You don’t want to miss out on all the hype.

Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) has announced, as we were expecting, a limit to how many phones any one iPhone fanatic can buy on launch day. However, Apple is limiting the per-person quantity to 2, as opposed to AT&T’s limit of one (1) iPhone per person. This is most likely due to greater stock limitations – like we speculated. Still, if you just have to have two iPhones, then you will have to visit an Apple store, come 6pm tomorrow.

Shameless plug: Don’t forget to check out Into iPhone’s live coverage of the Apple iPhone Launch Event from the 3rd Street Promenade Apple Store in Santa Monica, California!

Marketcircle has released an online simulator of the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone screen, dubbed iPhoney.

“iPhoney is not an iPhone simulator but instead is designed for web developers who want to create 320 by 480 (or 480 by 320) websites for use with iPhone. It gives you a canvas on which to test the visual quality of your designs.”

Aside from the great name, iPhoney provides web developers with a virtual canvas to gauge how their projects will look on the iPhone. Here’s a rundown of the new iPhoney 1.1 features:

• Zoom out to see how your current pages might look while zoomed out on iPhone.
• Turn off plug-ins (including Flash, but note that they all turn off (including QuickTime).
• Specify a custom user agent string.
• Automatic updates with Sparkle, so you’ll always know if there’s a new version.
• And of course, open source code so you can contribute to iPhoney’s rapid development.

Check out iPhoney here.

Thanks, Calvin!

Steven Levy of MSNBC has published his review on his experience with the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone. As with most reviews we’re seeing during this hyped-up pre-launch window, Steven takes a pretty positive position on the iPhone. Among his most notable comments, Mr. Levy states that he was able to get the iPhone up and running (and actually boosting his productivity) without having to read a single sentence of the instruction manual – such is the intuitiveness of the iPhone. And that is one of the iPhone’s most intriguing aspects – says Levy, “Apple has a history of using cutting-edge technology, slick design and friendly software to break the common logjam in which our machines have the capability to perform certain tasks, but developers haven’t figured out how to make the experience easy, even pleasurable, for users.” All this technology is out there, but most of it has not reached the common user, and the tech that has been incorporated into current handsets are merely that – incorporated. No thought to user experience, a kind of mish-mash of features crammed into a device just to say you have it.

There are faults, as you will likely see over the coming weeks, not just from official press, but from “street” users as well. Steven finds the keyboard a bit harder to use than Walt Mosberg did. But, aside from the reiterated foibles on AT&T (NYSE: T)’s EDGE network, Levy comes away impressed with the device.

And he makes an interesting point, Steven Levy says that, “Even those who never buy one will benefit from its advances, as competitors have already taken Apple’s achievements as a wake-up call to improve their own products.”

Protection is important, but this is just bat shit. For $25 I would rather you spend the money on the shoe shine I’m going to have to buy after removing my Puma from your ass crack.
