A sucker is born every moment.
While I love new technology, I am not foolish enough to be a guinea pig for any company.
I am sure that within a few years there will be many cell phones that will do all and more then an I Phone.
By the way, cell phones, known everywhere else in the world as mobiles, have always been way ahead of the US cellular phones.
I was a cellphone agent in the US before I came to Slovakia.
In some countries here, the number of mobile phones outnumber the population.
I always figure that if you're on the cutting edge, you're going to bleed.
Besides, I'm cheap.
Hardly a guinea pig, why wait a few years for all phones to do what an iphone does now?
The iphone is NOT overpriced at all. It is an ipod that holds and plays my music, it is a photo viewer that I easily downloaded hundreds of photos to. Photos that I can show people, zoom in and out with my fingers, display in widescreen or standard. Play home movies or movies and tv shows. It is also a mini computer that surfs the internet, on mostly text sites like freerepublic it moves pretty quick too.
It has a neat text message application, a really neat keyboard, a dynamite email server and a bunch of other really neat features that you keep finding. One that is neat that for your phone contacts you can load a picture of the person and when they call you see their picture in full screen. Another I like is that you can be listening to music and when you get a phone call, the music fades out and the phone rings.
There’s so many subtle and not so subtle things going on in the phone, least of all the dynamite aesthetics.
Speaking of aesthetics I’m typing this on a white macbook I got last night. Thanks to craigslist I got the latest macbook 2.16 core 2 duo with 1g memory (soon to be 3g) and 120 hard drive for -—— 825 cash!!!! new in box!! I registered it with apple today.
So now I have a white intel 20 inch imac, a white macbook, a white 80gig with video ipod and an iphone. I’m apple addicted, sorry you’re missing out.
Wait, this is cool—I used a firewire to sync my imac to my macbook, it transferred all of my information, everything including software I paid for! I told apple tech support that my iwork programs showed up on my dock and asked if I had to pay for them again. He said no, so now I have my iwork on my macbook without having to spend the 80 dollars that I planned on. I haven’t even loaded my microsoft office mac on either computer yet, so it looks like I’ll save another 150 there. We set up a network for the 2 computers but not sure if it’s right yet.
