That’s how excited I was when the iPhone – codename: The Jesus Phone – was announced.

Sure, I’ve been excited about shiny black gadgets before – most notably my PSP, whose charge light stares at me every night like a single eye that’s turned bright red from shedding tears of loneliness – but this is a whole different deal. I mean for God’s sake, just look at the thing – it’s so hi-tech that it probably only accepts calls from the future. I keep on expecting Apple to come clean and confess that they didn’t build it, they actually just found it lying around some UFO crash site. Or wandering the streets of LA, asking people if they’ve seen John Connor.

The fact that it does everything but fold your laundry doesn’t hurt either. We’re talking about an MP3 playin’, video displayin’, calendar maintainin’, GPS pinpointin’, internet conquerin’, picture takin’ supercomputer that – I hear – can also make phone calls. The best part is that it has something inside it called an Accelerometer. I don’t even know what that means but I’m pretty sure I can’t live without it. Some haters (i.e. Bill) point out that getting one’s hands on such a device requires a two-year lease on their soul to Cingular, but I’m happy to say that my boss had me on the phone to switch us from T-Mobile before Steve Job’s keynote speech was even over.

While my company’s switchover won’t happen until the iPhone is finally taken out of the Ark of the Covenant this coming June, at least the AppleTV and Dashcode – a widget builder being beta tested for the next version of OS X – will keep me busy in the meantime. And speaking of which, all you Mac users out there can click here to download a handy dandy, officially licensed, patent pending, doctor recommended, patient approved Land Elsewhere dashboard widget to keep current on the blog…in style.

In non-Apple related news, check back for an exciting update before the end of the week. Not to give anything away, but It just might have something to do with the BLAK COFFEE mix taking place in less than four hours…
