Coolest. Coasters. Ever.

coastersThese make me wish we drank a lot more beverages outside the kitchen than we do, and/or that we hosted parties and friends at our house more often.

A company called Meninos (from Brazil, I think) is selling this set of 16 coasters with icons from the iPhone.

How cool is that!??!

Only problem is that the whole set runs $60, and shipping is another $15. OUCH. Not even this Apple fanboy can justify that expense for a set of coasters that won’t get used much around our house.

iPhone = “In Transit”

That’s the FedEx tracking record for my iPhone. Ordered it back on the 18th. Arriving tomorrow.

Me = Psyched.

USA Today loves the new iPhone

From Ed Baig’s review:

It’s cheaper, faster and a lot friendlier for business. Apple’s blockbuster smartphone already had nifty features such as visual voicemail, a splendid built-in video iPod and the best mobile Web browser I’ve ever used. With GPS newly added to the mix, this handheld marvel has no equal among consumer-oriented smartphones.

I’m about 90% sure to get one, but can’t decide if I should give it a try on Friday … or wait a few days until things settle down a bit.

I’m glad to see the review mention that it’s “a lot friendlier for business.” I think my wife will want one, too, but since it uses the Safari browser, there’s no way she’ll be able to access the local MLS system. That requires a PC and Internet Explorer, no ifs, ands, or buts.
