iPhone

January 9, 2007 · Print This Article

iPhone here, there and everywhere. Is it okay that I can’t get the least bit excited about it? Please? Don’t get me wrong, I can see why other people would get excited about it. But I’m one of those people who has only ever used his crappy free-with-service-plan phone to make phone calls, and I don’t need it or want it for anything else. Sorry! Judging by the geeky rejoice all over the web you’d think I belong to another species, because I don’t want to organize my life, watch movies, play games and surf the web from my phone 24/7, regardless of where I am.
I’ll probably get an iPhone (or whatever it will actually have to be called) whenever my current iPod stops working and I also need to get a new cellphone plan. It looks like a neat product. But if you listen to some people, you’d think that the iPhone is the second coming of Christ. In my mind, it’s just coming. Sometime, in the future. That’s not a revolution. That’s a slow, creeping march towards the product a few years from now, whenever other outside factors (stuff breaking) make it an option. Until then, I’ll keep making calls on my perfectly adequate “outdated” cellphone.

    iPhone. that’s its name and it’s here to stay. Linksys and Apple reached a last minute agreement that Apple can use the name.
