Spring Break
Binary Boys: A Midsummer Dream's gadget previews

Issue date: 5/7/09 Section: Verve
The summer draws nigh. The library fills up. People relax on the grass and admire the pond-scummy lagoon. The trees are bare. Ahh, definitely a Fort Collins spring.
Our number one and two priorities are finals and thinking about what's happening this summer -- and not necessarily in that order. We are here to address one of those things, and it's not finals.
Since we unfortunately will not be speaking to you from this here paper stump over the summer, we feel the need ... the need for ... letting you know about gadgets coming out this summer so you don't miss out. And speed. Also that. Always speed.Â
Third-Generation 'iPhone'
One of our favorite gadgets slated to be refreshed in July is the new "iPhone."
"A new 'iPhone,' already?" you say.
Yep, it has been a whole year. And this time around Apple is expected to be adding all those basic things they overlooked last time -- multimedia texting, a video camera and landscape-oriented typing, just to name a few (watch the video from our March 26 column for more on the new "iPhone" operating system).Â
Also included will be bigger storage capacity and copious amounts of unknown goodies. (If anyone is interested, we will be in line at the Boulder Apple store the night before the release if you want to come have a good time. Last year the weather was balmy).
Palm 'Pre'
You all already know that we're "iPhone" addicts, but had we not already sold that part of our soul, we would undoubtedly be stoked about the Palm "Pre." This, in our humble opinion, is the "iPhone's" first real competition.
