iPhone! Cheap! Gimme! Now!

We duped ourselves into thinking iPhones weren't the work of God. But they are. And we want one. Bad. Real bad. Last week, we had the privilege of hanging with a few adorable, young lads, all on the cusp of innovative technology. And they all sported iPhones, thus an at-one-with-the-world glaze in their eyes. We have a stupid BlackBerry, so: constipation, tears.

Steve Jobs -- who still boasts a decent shelf butt (see image) while doing God's work -- has cut the price of the iPhone. Now "the 8-gigabyte iPhone will be $399 -- $200 cheaper than the same model when it went on sale in June. The 4-gigabyte iPhone, which sold for $399, will be phased out."

Also, new iPods will have touch-screen capabilities and allow wireless downloading. Which? Eh. Since the advent of the talking picture box, music doesn't play an important part in our lives, so ours collects dust. But we understand most people love the thing.

Anyway, it seems that Apple stock nosedived five percent since the price slashing announcement. But when you can start watching good/bad Broadway numbers on your phone in public, who cares?

I love that you noticed his butt! He's kinda fine for a geek, but I'd have to buy him a new pair of unfaded jeans and some non-white gym shoes.

A couple of days in the gym and that bootie would be rockin' and I'd be a knockin'

I like the fact that if you want the cool parts of the iPhone (wifi, web, music, whatever) but don't want to use the lame, overpriced AT&T you can, with the new iPod!

He's an iDaddy. Kinda iHot.

I would be supremely PO'ed if I bought one in June. Suckas!

Reading, and commenting on SFist from my iPhone.

What bliss.

Small correction: The 4GB iPhone used to be $499, not $399 as you say here.

They're unloading the remaining supply of 4GB iPhones for $299, FWIW, but not making new ones.

sangfroid826: Excellent. I would lol if I did that sort of thing.
