iPhone 3GS Review

Gather around the campfire for a super geeky story. This summer, talk of the new iPhone was quite the topic with the GeekGal and her coterie of nerdy Mac dudes. There’s always buzz about future Apple products, but this time it was just insanity. The Internets were ablaze with supposedly leaked pictures of an all-aluminum iPhone with video chat capabilities, multiple cameras, a display with organic diodes and in one particularly hopeful case, transwarp drive. Each rumor promised more orgasmic wonder than the next.
The night before the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference, the GeekGal read a story by Daring Fireball’s John Grueber - a super reliable source. He said that the new iPhone would look exactly like the old 3G iPhone.

That’s why I was so delighted to see Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. line had Apple gear! The prices are very reasonable, and the look is tough and functional. Is this a product line a girl can get behind, or a cheap cash-in on Stefani’s gal cred?
The bag that caught my eye was the UltraViolet Leather Clutch, a small bag that’s designed for your iPhone, and not much else. GeekGal has often lamented the absence of designer bags that will easily accommodate her iPhone, as many of her favorite lines of purses think we’re still living in the ancient days of dumbphones. It arrived from the Apple Store in just a week, so GeekGal took it for a test drive. Read More...
