The New York Times tech writer David Pogue has made a UCC video in tribute to the iPhone. His music video (or musical), called "I Want an iPhone," is set to Frank Sinatra's popular tune "I Did It My Way" but with newly adapted lyrics. The funniest part is when other people standing in line in front of the Apple store start chiming in. To see the lyrics, click here --> iPhone Lyrics.
Not many Korean people use Apple products, such as Macintosh computers or iPod mp3 players. But they're popular all around the world, and it's interesting to see the history of Apple products all in one place.

Some language notes:
- a million time more rad: (slang) fine, wonderful; short for radical
- this thing is sweet: (slang) great, wonderful
- you had me from "hello": from the start
- he's got squat: (slang) nothing
- paid half a grand: a thousand dollars
(I doubt Chinese people are too happy about the note on the back of Mr. Pogue's old "Made in Hell" phone: Proudly Designed in Hell, Assembled in China.)
