iPhone holdout
At work today, many are sporting their shiny new iPhones.
For now, I’ve held off. A good friend of mine works at Apple and I was able to see it in action last week. I want one really badly, but I don’t NEED one. And $600 for a phone isn’t really smart for me to spend right now, what with… oh wait, I haven’t announced that yet. Stand by for that.
Anyway, it’s beautiful and elegant and I don’t mind any of the shortcomings people have written about (with the possible exception of the battery being built-in, that does irk me). I want want want. But for now I shall not indulge the Unseen Mystical Force floating all around me.

I haven’t even seen it yet but I wouldn’t buy one at this point either…I don’t need a $600 phone. The one I have right now serves its primary purpose okay but it would be nice to be one of the first people to have it.

I feel like I don’t need it, either. But Kitty wants, oh yeah, Kitty wants. Does that make me a shallow tool easily influenced by sparkly marketing campaigns? My $600 geek sheik white iPants say yes.
Unless it can kill dogs, then I NEED it. It doesn’t do that, does it? Can we get a confirmation on that? Anyone?
