It may not have escaped your notice that Apple's iPhone launches today, hence the saturation coverage.
In the interests of science, your weary correspondent was planning to throw herself into the throng in Regent Street to get one, but her enthusiasm has been countered by a realisation that she can't stand crowds and doesn't get paid for two weeks.
Instead, could I recommend this classic from the Onion? Apple Unveils New Product-Unveiling Product - the iLaunch.
"Even amid fevered speculation, Apple was typically mum before the launch product's launch, and Mac rumor websites failed to predict any major details about the new offering, other than the fact that it was going to "change everything" and "be huge."
Love it.
The reviews
If you still have an appetite for reviews, our Bobbie Johnson has been nitpicking over a handset all week, so you can fawn to your heart's content.
The overview: "It's the iPhone's overall approach to mobile phones that will probably have a lasting influence."
Part I: The detailed review: "The keyboard is certainly a league ahead of other devices I've used, where the buttons were nigh on impossible to hit for those who aren't trained marksmen."
Part II: Using the internet: "The breadth of delivery remains too limited, and I found plenty of black spots around the country where getting any sort of O2 signal - let alone an Edge one - was an impossible task."
Part III: Listening to music: "Aside from the touch-based bells and whistles, the iPhone doesn't offer a massive leap forward for the iPod family... making it a great, but not remarkable, media player."
And there's Anna Pickard's easy review, and a voxpop from Jeff Jarvis (who has been known to have an opinion or two) and some comedy archive pics of Steve Jobs.
So who's queueing?
