For those of you who read my blog yesterday or read accounts of others who were waiting in line for their golden iPhone ticket like they were trying to enter into Willie Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, you can put an end to the shakes, sweats and trembles you undoubtedly have when contemplating the possibilities of facing the path to your very own iPhone.
In a clear stroke of genius (note heavy sarcasm) Apple has posted online what stores have iPhones available…they did so initially too but the UBBER GEEKS who just have to have this phone ignored the power of available technology and opted to wait in line, slug it out and wrestle round for their very own Golden Ticket…It’s so nice to see that technology hasn’t changed the nature of keeping up with the Jones’s.
On most accounts the HYPE around the iPhone is more significant than the reality of what it offers. Still, it is more technology than I could handle…the numbers on the front of my VCR still flash…yeah, I still have a VCR too! That aside, I still think the commercial is cool and it will be interesting to see what a couple weeks with the iPhone will do for or too the people who get them.
I also read where Microsoft is still working on their own version of the iPhone which I am curious to see side by side with the iPhone but only because of how the battle went down on the iPod and Zune.
