I have seen the iPhone. It is really cool and all. But it just doesn't quite make the cut. I would really wait for the next version of the iPhone. There seem to be some really cool phones by Helio (Windows Mobile) and Nokia (N series). The Sony Ericsson phones are really good - but they are not smartphones. So you can not really install any custom software on them.

Are you feeling down in the dumps because you just lost a job or you’ve been unemployed for months? Well inspiration comes in the form of an 18 ounce dog. If Dancer, who is possibly the world’s smallest dog, could overcome his struggles then you can too! Learn how you can get off that couch and get back in the employment game with a little motivation from Dancer and Career Creature.

I keep a blog about career service related information -- I blog about trends, resources, and occassionally have a "guest blogger' to talk about their internship search experience or something. I also post employer feedback. What I don't post are events or jobs. We're the one of the only career services office in the country to have a blog like this! I am going to post information about United Nations internships soon! You can find me at http://mblog.lib.umich.edu/sicareers/

I missed the original email that suggested this site. Sorry.

Yeah, Satyendra, I forgot about all of this as well:

"The iphone lacks 3G support. It uses the slower EDGE network.
other things you might miss:

MMS.
Video recording.
Custom ringtones.
Mass storage.
Fully functioning Bluetooth with stereo audio streaming

I'm assuming Apple will be able to address at least some of these with the net software upgrade you if you really want an iphone you might want to wait a little.

It would be nice to have a page that lists rooms for rent and books or other items for sale related to the SI community. Essentially, take the concept of the Marketplace for the entire UM community and create the same just for SI.
