Yesterday was the iPhone’s first birthday and I forgot to write about it! Well I didn’t forget, just didn’t have time…but that’s beside the point. On June 29th, 2008, the iPhone turned the big 01. It seems like so long ago that I was unboxing the iPhone that Friday night. The excitement I had that Friday night was something I don’t think I’ve ever experienced with a gadget before.

The iPhone has gone through a lot in its first year:

• It was Jailbroken
• It was Unlocked
• It dropped significantly in price
• Websites across the internet adopted special iPhone only views
• The Google Maps application became location aware
• It both shrank and got bigger (No more 4GB and a new 16GB)
• It traveled across the pond
• iTunes Wi-fi was delivered
• It became an iBrick for some
• It had “Compatibility and stability updates”
• It witnessed the announcement of a new family member

Happy late birthday iPhone!
