iPhone: The Musical -- You just got to watch this one

I'm going to make a prediction here. I blogged about David Pouge, the New York Times technology columnist earlier in the week and his hilarious tech podcast about being one of four people in the U.S. outside of Apple to have an iPhone. Today he has one that tops it called iPhone: The Musical. Pouge sings the song (dubbed "I want an iPhone) then halfway in gets back up vocals from the crowd standing outside the 5th Avenue Apple Store in New York City.

My prediction... Pouge has been living in Wall Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg's shadow for sometime, these webisodes could just bring Pouge into the sun and make Mossberg's black and white just look old fashion.

The Broadsheet Goes Broadband

Now it might not be anything new to most people to hear that the venerable New York Times is putting up videos on its website to support its articles. It has in fact long been the case that small videos of reporters with a face for print journalism would recount the highlights of their story with cadence that made NPR sound like The Price is Right.
What may surprise may though, is that they have some really great original content. David Pouge, The Times famed technology columnist has a particularly exciting companion video series. This week, as part of Pouge's glowing review of Apple's iPhone, he documents how receiving an iPhone from an Apple PR flack changed his life in a webisode. He's chased down on the The Times newsroom at one point, or in another particularly funny moment when his editor, after being denied a preview of the device puts in a call the rival Wall Street Journal technology columnist, Walt Mossberg.
The videos are done very much in tong and cheek and run about three or four minutes long and have fine production values. Pouge, despite his throughly dorky selection in button downs, has great comedic timing. The pieces are equally balanced between humorous and informative.
The episodes come out regularly every week at the same time as his State of the Art column on Wednesdays.
