Apple's brief statement re the white version of the iPhone 4:

White models of Apple's new iPhone® 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected."

Gee, I wonder why the only model that is for sale is "more popular".

If you were holding out for the white one, get a black iPhone 4 already, enjoy the free Bumper case (through September when Apple may revisit things) and start enjoying the latest iPhone.  It's more popular, after all.

Every time you turn around these days it seems like a developer is bringing a blast from the past to the iPhone.  One that’s surfaced in the last couple of months is Qwak, a cute platform game featuring an egg tossing duck fighting things that resemble what I’d picture a dragon looking like if it existed in the land of the Teletubbies.  The game isn’t bad, but the constrained level design and utter chaos that sometimes erupts on screen put a bit of a damper on playability, at least for me.  I wonder if some of the problem is lack of screen real estate, because I imagine this would be a lot more fun with most or all of a level visible on the screen at the same time.
