Pimp your iPhone with a Colorware makeover

Create your own iPhone ringtones… if you have time on your hands
Some intrepid hackers have figured out how to put your own custom ringtones on the iPhone – it’s famously one of the missing features from Apple’s handset, despite being one of the more obvious things you’d want in a music phone.
iSee acrylic hipster case for iPhone
The iSee iPhone case from Contour Design fits snugly up against your iPhone, carefully outlining all the ports with excruciating closeness, and then leaves the phone visually alone by encasing it in straight transparent acrylic. Sounds great, and a lot of people report they’re thrilled by how it showcases the phone. The lone exception gives pause, however: a commenter notes the case slipped from his hand, and when the iPhone hit the floor, the case split into its three component pieces, leaving the iPhone to splat, by which I mean, crack. He reports he called up the manufacturer and they said: “We only cover the case itself not the item damaged!” Ouch! $30. [GT]

Okay, who got their mum to knit them an iPhone?
Knitted toys are the new gadgetry. No, really.
Check out this hand-knitted iPhone, which was made for one of the posters on parenting blog Daddytypes.com by his mum. Why? Because he wanted his child to have an iPhone, without letting them actually dribble on his own model.

The speculation about who’s going to be selling Apple’s iPhone here in Europe is already rather tiresome. A couple of weeks ago, Vodafone was the cast-iron certainty, yet earlier this week it was T-Mobile, and now apparently it’s O2.
