“Welcome to Wal-Mart”

You don’t need to stand in line at the Apple Store or at an AT&T dealer to get your new iPhone 4.  They’ll be available at Wal-Mart, Radio Shack and Best Buy.

I just had to mention Phone Balls.  Phone Balls are cases which protect phones and have…  balls.  I can see this being great in many business situations, like when you’re at lunch with the biggest sales prospect you’ve ever had and you take a call.  Or how about when you’re meeting with your priest and you whip out your phone to look up a number or something.  Awesome.

Helping to fight testicular cancer

All kidding aside, the people at Phone Balls are doing something great.  They’re donating 10% of what they make to help fight testicular cancer.  Nice job!

I must get myself one of these to go with my MySack golf accessory bag.
