iPhone? Not in this lifetime . . .

Musings, Random, Rants, Technology

I just don’t get it. I don’t get what all the hoopla is about this new iPhone. Yeah, it has cool features, but so does every other piece of technology out there. I just think it’s kind of funny all the hoopla out there surrounding it. Do you know why? Because it’s just a phone. I can spend $300 less and still make the same phone calls. My phone plays .mp3s and has calendars and contacts, too. But it’s not snazzy–I get that.

You know, this sounds really wierd coming from me. I love toys. I just don’t get this one.

Maybe it’s Apple backlash. You know what I mean? It just seems that Mac users are so evangelical about it. I hear them talking about how you can’t do on a PC what you can do on a Mac (and man, are those commercials hilarious!), but I haven’t found anything on my Mac (yes, I use one at work–I’m using it right now) that I can’t do on my PC. It just hasn’t happened for me.

So am I going to go out and have a fit over the iPhone? Nope. Besides, there’s no way my wife would okay that purchase . . .
