Pickoff Moves
Tech: iWait For The iPhone
Starting at 2:00 PM today you can own your very own iPhone, provided you don't mind doing business with AT&T, the company I learned to hate as a customer, not to mention hundreds of thousands of others. Steve Jobs doesn't think it works fast enough ($) on AT&T's native network, but WiFi access will take away some of the slowness.Rumors of the iPhone getting into celebrities' hands (e.g. Cher and Madonna) show the usual RHIP for hot new gadgets, but the rest of us will have to ...
Even for carpetbaggers like Josh May, 18, and his twin brother, Jonathan, the iPhone hype — and their exhaustion — were having a hypnotic effect.Slashdot has a summary post with a bunch of iPhone linkies.

- We know a little more about the Milton Bradley to the Padres deal; it appears the Pads will send a yet-unnamed pitcher to the A's for Bradley. Him and Barrett... together ... hm...

- Craig Biggio went 5-for-6 in Houston to collect his 3,000th hit. Ironically, he got his 3,000th and made an out trying to turn a single into a double.
