On Geoffrey Moore’s “Crossing the Chasm” scale, I’d like to think I’m an “Innovator” but admittedly, I’m merely a humble Early Adopter. So here I am, in all my non-Innovator/full-on-Early-Adopter glory holding the “2.0″ version of the iPhone, having passed on the first iPhone for all the Early Adopter reasons (just waiting for a few of the most blatant shortcomings and flaws to be worked out … then I’m all over the next version!!!).

I’m sure I’ll have more to say about the device once I’ve owned and used it for more than a couple days. But one thing is for sure. Phone Saber is cool. This free App Store gem provided me with my most distinct “this is a great time to be alive” (TIAGTTBA) moment so far. This thing transforms your iPhone into a lighsaber, reacting to your slashing movements with perfectly timed sound effects. When you’re arguing with a coworker and things seem to be at a stalemate … hold on just a minute. You’ve got Phone Saber!!! Who has the upper hand now??

Past TIAGTTBA example: listening to a streaming radio station via iTunes, hearing a new song that I like, and owning the song (also via iTunes) before it’s finished playing. Stuff like that.
