So, Blog Guy! I guess for top gadget writers like yourself, this is a HUGE day!

Outside? Really? That sounds a little suspicious. Tell us some of the things it will do.
I believe it will let you exchange text messages with dead U.S. Presidents, but only the really bad ones. Iâve already heard from Richard Nixon and Millard Fillmore.
Also, it will grind salt and pepper on my food at restaurants.
Blog Guy, thatâs enough! Can you tell me the most spectacular new iPhone 4S app? The one that is dazzling everybody?
It will stand in line for me when they release the iPhone 5?
No, it wonât, Blog Guy. Look at the thing you bought this morning and tell me what it says on it.
It says Palm Pilot.
Okay, Blog Guy, we need to talk. Can you give me a call?
Sure, just let me find some quarters and a pay phoneâ¦
