Gadget Of The Week: iPhone 3G

Look, life is tough. I prayed that lil' Hope here would make Gadget of the Week, but times are tough and this is launch week for the iPhone 3G, so adorable handicapabe puppies are out of luck.

And anyone who's been paying attention (or following Den Den's anticipatory musings) knows that this week will be an interesting one for Apple: even those of us who've no intention of even trying to buy an iPhone 3G anytime soon are curious as to how Apple will handle the hordes of its faithful and a laborious in-store activation process.

Grab some popcorn, sit down next to me and get ready to cackle in glee as the world's most uppity sophisticated white-plastic-loving tech retailer tries to swallow its own fist!
