iPhone
Everyone seems pretty excited about the iPhone. And by everybody, I mean the media AND real people. I'm sensitive to how people around me react to expensive new things. I use it as a way of measuring my level of disposable income against the average. In this most recent informal mental survey, it seems I am sorely lacking. My first thought upon hearing the product details was, "Looks neat but spend not another iota of brain power on this new object because it costs six hundred dollars and, therefore, you aren't getting one." Whoa. I sound like my parents.
The fact that Cingular is the carrier is pretty much a deal-killer for me. My house is in a rural area where they currently have weak penetration. Still, I'm looking forward to messing with it at the Apple store. It'll be interesting to see how many demo models each store will stock for us grubby-handed pedestrians.
