The beta phone from Apple quails before the alpha phone from Samsung.

flipflop on December 25, 2007 at 9:28 PM

iPhones are so 2007.

Still, it’s the thought that counts.

pedestrian on December 26, 2007 at 12:48 AM

Nice…

Bad Candy on December 26, 2007 at 12:49 AM

All I can picture is AP running down a street in NY screaming “Merry Christmas movie house, Merry Chritsmas, emporium…” ala It’s A Wonderful Life.

A Hollywood Ending.

PowWow on December 26, 2007 at 1:04 AM

ugh. no fair. how come the athiest gets better gifts at xmas than a christian. :P im switching.

its vintage duh on December 26, 2007 at 1:04 AM

You’ll love it, man. Trust me.

Before you know it, you’ll be settin’ up Hot Air iPhone style.

freakagriep on December 26, 2007 at 1:07 AM

I’m late but congrats Allah

Defector01 on December 26, 2007 at 1:20 AM

So now Allah gets his iPhone just days before NIH is to release it’s study showing that anything more than short term use of an iPhone causes obesity, baldness and irreversible impotence.

MB4 on December 26, 2007 at 1:28 AM

NIH is to release its study showing that anything more than short term use of an iPhone causes obesity, baldness and irreversible impotence.

cool; I can sue Apple for second-hand iPhone exposure.

Right after I sue Dan Fogleberg for making me a Beta Male.

sulla on December 26, 2007 at 1:35 AM

sulla-

Dan Fogelberg died a week ago.

Apple had no comment.

Prostate.

profitsbeard on December 26, 2007 at 1:44 AM

that’s old school gadgetry…there are newer phones out

jediwebdude on December 26, 2007 at 1:48 AM

I own quite a few shares of Apple. Thank you for making me that much wealthier.

Merry Christmas!

spec_ops_mateo on December 26, 2007 at 1:48 AM

Merry Christmas Allah.

Mojave Mark on December 26, 2007 at 2:13 AM

Y’all enjoy it, y’hear?

Because it’s Fred-mas Eve.

That’s right. The butt whoopings commence tomorrow in Iowa.

I love Christmas, but dang! Can we get this Iowa thing over already??? It’s really starting to cut into my rum and egg nog time.

wccawa on December 26, 2007 at 2:30 AM

OT

Quote of the Day:

Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO), commenting on the Bush administration’s almost-total failure to prosecute immigration-scofflaw employers:

“Why is it that hundreds of bar owners can be sanctioned in Missouri every year for letting somebody with a fake ID have a beer, but we can’t manage to sanction hundreds of employers for letting people use fake identities to obtain a job?”

- HT: PoliPundit

MB4 on December 26, 2007 at 2:48 AM

AWWWW! Merry Christmas, AP!

emmaline1138 on December 26, 2007 at 3:02 AM

Good for you AP. What was your reaction: breakdown in tears of gratitude that you finally got your dream toy, or jump so high that you hit your head on the ceiling and was out cold for two minutes? Either way, enjoy.

Mallard T. Drake on December 26, 2007 at 3:14 AM

Well deserved for herding all us cats.
That’s great.

silverfox on December 26, 2007 at 4:16 AM

Merry Christmas AP! We know that you and your IPhone will be very happy together!

zb42 on December 26, 2007 at 4:44 AM

Wow, an autographed AHA book, AND an iPhone…. you have the best boss AP. Congrats and Merry Christmas!
And Thank You AP, Bryan, and Michelle; for the gidt that keeps on giving through out the year…HotAir!

and to think, all my boss got me this year was an Eat & Park gift card……

mrfixit on December 26, 2007 at 6:26 AM

gidt = gift

darn fumblefingers….

mrfixit on December 26, 2007 at 6:27 AM

Can you ‘phone’ in your comments from say, Barbados ?

DoctorDentons on December 26, 2007 at 7:03 AM

Since you’re too overcome to say this…

Best. Christmas. Evah!

steveegg on December 26, 2007 at 7:49 AM

MM must have stood in line hours for that gift… Allah: Recommend you go for iPhone Applecare @ $69.00/two years… You’ll appreciate the investment.

IntheNet on December 26, 2007 at 8:06 AM

I never knew you wanted one.

locomotivebreath1901 on December 26, 2007 at 8:20 AM

Congrats AP. You’re that much closer now to getting that humping robot. Remember to post a pic of your 1st phone bill on here when it arrives.

Coronagold on December 26, 2007 at 8:20 AM

That’s so cool Allah! I’m very happy for you sir.

GoodBoy on December 26, 2007 at 8:27 AM

Big A,

Looks like we both got what we wanted. You got the Holy Grail of personal electronics, I got two weeks leave, to be home over Christmas.

major john on December 26, 2007 at 8:29 AM

Congrats, AP!

Weight of Glory on December 26, 2007 at 8:41 AM

You’ll shoot your eye out.

Physics Geek on December 26, 2007 at 8:50 AM

(Might as well add one more)

As Allah played with and fingered his I-P last night, he said over and over in his dude brain…


The absolute most Freakiest-Deakiest EVAH in the history of Freakie Deakie-dom!

SouthernPride on December 26, 2007 at 8:54 AM

yea!!!

jummy on December 26, 2007 at 8:54 AM

See AP, there is a God. :)

Kowboy on December 26, 2007 at 9:08 AM

See, them that asks, gets. Congratulations AP, and Merry Christmas!

inviolet on December 26, 2007 at 9:12 AM

Looks to me like proof that there is a God. And now you can call Him, probably.

Pablo on December 26, 2007 at 9:12 AM

Allah,

The irony of you celebrating Christmas sleighs me.

Swinehound on December 26, 2007 at 9:25 AM

God bless us, everyone.

Hening on December 26, 2007 at 9:27 AM

Great. Now call me.

Karol on December 26, 2007 at 9:29 AM

Iphone? You finally got an IPhone? Congratulations!

There needs to be an investigation. You couldn’t possibly have been ranked that high on Santa’s good boy list.

There’s more to the story. Come on, AP, give us the gory details.

BacaDog on December 26, 2007 at 9:30 AM

When will you have time for HotAir now? You’ll be too busy playing with your new toy.

katieanne on December 25, 2007 at 9:51 PM

Yep. It has begun already.

Hey AP. The last thread was posted at 8:50 last night! Put that thing down and get back to work or we’ll all tell MM.

BacaDog on December 26, 2007 at 9:35 AM

Someone at the San Francisco Zoo let the cat out of the bag.

A life for a life and two mauled victims.

Tragedy.

maverick muse on December 26, 2007 at 9:35 AM

I’d bet that when you removed the wrapper you said Thank God or Thank you God. No athiests in a foxhole. The iPhone was your foxhole.

Helloyawl on December 26, 2007 at 9:55 AM

If you believe in magic…

Seixon on December 26, 2007 at 10:01 AM

The iPhone was your foxhole.

That should be Quote Of The Day

Ali-Bubba on December 26, 2007 at 10:08 AM

Notice that AP’s not posting a lot of new content today? He’s too busy playing with his iPhone.

Ali-Bubba on December 26, 2007 at 10:09 AM

F*#k technology. Get a life.

Get a life?

But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin’ else.

And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you’ve got an iPhone?

saint kansas on December 26, 2007 at 10:26 AM

WOW! I want one! I wish I were the giver, but I wasn’t! Congrats, AP. :)

Michelle on December 26, 2007 at 10:51 AM

Oooh. the mystery deepens. Who’s the secret santa?

TexasDan on December 26, 2007 at 10:55 AM

Does this mean AP’s mom reads his blog?

TexasDan on December 26, 2007 at 10:56 AM

Was it your mom?

shooter on December 26, 2007 at 10:56 AM

Ya know AP wants a couple days off now….just to get to know his new ‘friend’.

shooter on December 26, 2007 at 10:59 AM

Oh, BFD.

mojo on December 26, 2007 at 11:05 AM

careful…you can put your eye out with that thing.

DrW on December 26, 2007 at 11:10 AM

Is that from Michelle or a follow-up “call me” gift from Hirsi Ali?
;-)

infidel4life on December 25, 2007 at 11:22 PM

Heh. I was thinking along similar lines. Although cold-calling Ms. Ali would be even more intimidating than trying to invite Condi Rice over for a nightcap.

Now that we know it’s not from Michelle, the mystery deepens even further.

Congratulations, AllahP.

Perhaps it’s a peace offering from KP?

/ducks and covers…

Anton on December 26, 2007 at 11:11 AM

(sent from my iPhone)

phelps on December 26, 2007 at 11:11 AM

RushBaby on December 26, 2007 at 11:43 AM

Congrats, Big Guy!!

tickleddragon on December 26, 2007 at 11:47 AM

Oooh. the mystery deepens. Who’s the secret santa?

Peace offering from Hugh?

zb42 on December 26, 2007 at 11:53 AM

Congrats Allah! I want one too, but I live in the outlands… where AT&T doesn’t have coverage. So I can’t justify it yet. *sigh*.

And I wonder who got it for him? Maybe Bryan–just so they can compare phones later. :D

Vanceone on December 26, 2007 at 11:58 AM

So what are we going to do today BrainAllahpundit? The same thing we do every day

Pinky

doriangrey, try to take over the world…Oh…right you are…

doriangrey on December 26, 2007 at 12:11 PM

SECOND LOOK AT THE IPHONE.

Bryan on December 25, 2007 at 9:30 PM

SECOND LOOK AT RON PAUL!

Kidding!

HYTEAndy on December 26, 2007 at 12:11 PM

Dang it that was suppose to be…

So what are we going to do today Brain Allahpundit? The same thing we do every day Pinky doriangrey, try to take over the world…Oh…right you are…

Oh and congrats on the iPhone AP…

doriangrey on December 26, 2007 at 12:13 PM

I’ll bet he’s at the local watering hole about now, swilling Newcastles and trying to do a blog post with the iPhone. He’ll probably break them both.

RedWinged Blackbird on December 26, 2007 at 12:18 PM

Right on, Allah!!

I got a mini remote-control helicopter.

Troy Rasmussen on December 26, 2007 at 12:21 PM

I got a mini remote-control helicopter.

Troy Rasmussen on December 26, 2007 at 12:21 PM

Mounted the shotgun yet?

TexasDan on December 26, 2007 at 12:24 PM

RedWinged Blackbird on December 26, 2007 at 12:18 PM

Allah has a bar in his cave? Lucky bastage…

doriangrey on December 26, 2007 at 12:37 PM

Allah has a bar in his cave? Lucky bastage…

doriangrey on December 26, 2007 at 12:37 PM

It’s called a still.

TexasDan on December 26, 2007 at 12:50 PM

It’s called a still.

TexasDan on December 26, 2007 at 12:50 PM

Oh come now, you don’t brew beer in a still and everybody knows that Allah is a beer hound…

doriangrey on December 26, 2007 at 12:52 PM

Notice that AP’s not posting a lot of new content today? He’s too busy playing with his iPhone.

Quagmire.

saint kansas on December 26, 2007 at 1:09 PM

WOW! I want one! I wish I were the giver, but I wasn’t! Congrats, AP. :)

Michelle on December 26, 2007 at 10:51 AM

As the resident inveterate gambler around these parts, I hereby declare the betting window on who got AP the iPhone open:

AP’s family – 5-2
Santa – 3-1
A group of Hot Air readers – 6-1
The Jawas – 10-1
Bryan – 12-1
An anonymous Hot Air Reader – 15-1

steveegg on December 26, 2007 at 1:32 PM

steveegg on December 26, 2007 at 1:32 PM

I’ll take An anonymous Hot Air Reader – 15-1…

doriangrey on December 26, 2007 at 1:38 PM

I’ll take An anonymous Hot Air Reader – 15-1…

doriangrey on December 26, 2007 at 1:38 PM

Yep, gotta go with those odds.

conservnut on December 26, 2007 at 1:44 PM

An anonymous Hot Air Reader – 15-1

Are you guys kidding? What kind of money do you think our readers have? My mom and dad got it for me.

Allahpundit on December 26, 2007 at 1:48 PM

Are you guys kidding? What kind of money do you think our readers have? My mom and dad got it for me.

Allahpundit on December 26, 2007 at 1:48 PM

You have a mom and dad…??? /Looks around all confused…why didn’t anyone tell me Allahpundit has a mom and dad…

So, are you posting from the iPhone? Have you spilled beer on it yet?

doriangrey on December 26, 2007 at 1:52 PM

Allahpundit on December 26, 2007 at 1:48 PM

Oh and did I mention congrats on receiving evidence of God’s existence an iPhone for Christmas… ;)

doriangrey on December 26, 2007 at 1:54 PM

Are you guys kidding? What kind of money do you think our readers have? My mom and dad got it for me.

Allahpundit on December 26, 2007 at 1:48 PM

You’d be surprised at what some of the Hot Air readers have (no, not me).

I did say that your family was the 5-2 favorite.

steveegg on December 26, 2007 at 1:58 PM

But, on January 1, the iPhone II will be coming out…

Mazztek on December 26, 2007 at 2:09 PM

Well, well, well… Looks like there may be a creator, after all.

Congrats on the gift and on having a great person for a boss.

Rugged Individual on December 26, 2007 at 2:10 PM

Who is going to be hipper? Apple or Google?

pedestrian on December 26, 2007 at 2:14 PM

The real question is: Can you afford the monthly payments?

Tim Burton on December 26, 2007 at 2:16 PM

Did you open the packaging and confirm it wasn’t really a Zune Phone? Maybe it was replaced and re-shrink wrapped as a gag! (:-D)

Congrats!

Tom Blogical on December 26, 2007 at 2:17 PM

Are you guys kidding? What kind of money do you think our readers have? My mom and dad got it for me.

Nothing says “Now could you please get a real job and move out of the basement?” like a shiny new iPhone…

:-)

LagunaDave on December 26, 2007 at 2:20 PM

WOW! I want one! I wish I were the giver, but I wasn’t! Congrats, AP. :)

Michelle on December 26, 2007 at 10:51 AM

Wha…?!

Jaibones on December 26, 2007 at 2:35 PM

The reason Western fertility is so low is that women are saving room for your love child. Post your phone number, Allahpundit, and start giving women what they want!

Kralizec on December 26, 2007 at 3:24 PM

You have a mom and dad…???

You’re probably too young to remember Heartbeeps.

saint kansas on December 26, 2007 at 4:06 PM

saint kansas on December 26, 2007 at 4:06 PM

reminded me of this!

RushBaby on December 26, 2007 at 4:56 PM

But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin’ else.

And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you’ve got an iPhone?

saint kansas on December 26, 2007 at 10:26 AM

LOL! Movie reference of the day!

inviolet on December 26, 2007 at 5:03 PM

Atheists get Christmas presents? Yuck.

JiangxiDad on December 26, 2007 at 6:10 PM

You’ve earned it. :)

Merry Christmas!

ZK on December 26, 2007 at 6:26 PM

Wow, I missed this one earlier.

Congratulations on your first born child finally getting your iPhone.

The reason Western fertility is so low is that women are saving room for your love child. Post your phone number, Allahpundit, and start giving women what they want!

Kralizec on December 26, 2007 at 3:24 PM

Yeah, I read on Page Six of the Post the other day that the only reason Jessica Alba is having a baby with her current boyfriend is that she got tired of waiting for AP. If only he could have got his iPhone sooner … sigh.

thirteen28 on December 26, 2007 at 6:27 PM

WOW! I want one! I wish I were the giver, but I wasn’t! Congrats, AP. :)

Michelle on December 26, 2007 at 10:51 AM

Uh oh, maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned being swarmed by beautiful chics at Starbucks.

Speakup on December 26, 2007 at 7:24 PM

Are you guys kidding? What kind of money do you think our readers have? My mom and dad got it for me.

Allahpundit on December 26, 2007 at 1:48 PM

Oops,They’re probably hoping for grandkids.

Speakup on December 26, 2007 at 7:26 PM

Allah congratulation’s,anticipation has finally
granted you your gift,so enjoy.

canopfor on December 26, 2007 at 7:31 PM

Are you guys kidding…

Allahpundit on December 26,2007 at 1:48PM.

Allahpundit:Are you sure it didn’t drop down from the
G!d of Technology! Hehe.

canopfor on December 26, 2007 at 7:36 PM

IPhone?
I just got my first MP3 player in Sept.
You know us Luddites.
Congrats Allah on the new “baby”.

annoyinglittletwerp on December 26, 2007 at 9:45 PM

Finally!

yo on December 26, 2007 at 10:17 PM

Congrats, Allah, and I salute your parents for giving you the perfect gift.
How did they know what you wanted? ;)

Doug on December 27, 2007 at 1:08 AM

Anyone else think the bow looks photoshopped?

I’m calling BS. /s

TexasDan on December 27, 2007 at 7:24 AM

Ah now you can stop whining about, since soon it’ll be like all the rest – just a pretty phone…

I love it when people are willing to pay a premium just to belong to a “club” of other social conformists.

Bob on December 27, 2007 at 8:17 AM

Congrats, AP.
