Protect Your iPhone (and iPod touch) While Cooking

Cooking I use my iPhone quite often while cooking and more than once I have looked down to see my delightful iPhone covered in flour or streaked with egg (I know… tragic!).

This past week-end Doug and I hosted a tech party. Yep, you read that right, a tech party. You know, the kind where there is an Xbox in one corner (projected on the wall) a Wii in another corner (also projected on the wall), a 24″ iMac running games, a few random laptops laying around and of course lots of food.

VerizonVerizon Wireless Chief Technology Officer, Anthony Melone, was recently interviewed by businessweek.com about the future of the iPhone coming to Verizon. Melone is quoted saying, “”We have put things in place already,” and “We are prepared to support that traffic.” If you read the entire article you’ll catch that Verizon isn’t expecting the iPhone for sure, they’re just stating they are prepared if Apple decides to use other carriers than AT&T. There have been many rumors over the years that Verizon would get the iPhone but we’ll have to wait until about the 3rd quarter before we know for sure.
