That's hell of a Cool

One of our readers sent me his iPhone photos from California, U.S.A., with his generous permission and let me post it up for showcasing on my personal blog.

The top photo is using iPhone's built-in Safari web browser to surf the internet from his place in U.S.A., and visiting Tomahawk Photo Gallery, in landscape viewing mode, and also the bottom photo reveals the web page in portrait viewing mode, respectively.

However, I was told that his iPhone has not yet been activated for its exclusive AT&T cellular service, due to his binding contract with the existing cellular network. In the meantime, he has been manipulating his iPhone only for iPod'ing and web surfing.

Many thanks, Dude!
