Party on the bandwagon
September 8, 2007
A couple weeks ago, I did a small interview with TechBurgh, and about halfway through I was asked what my favorite gadget was. I replied that I would say my iPhone, but as I didn’t have one, I went with my camera.
To ease your concern, I do have an iPhone. I went to buy one Wednesday, on the morning of the price cuts, and at the news, met the salesman with a dropped jaw and a merry jig. I had no idea. Appalled, he shot me a look of skepticism. “Well then,” he responded, “you can afford to buy the AppleCare Protection Plan. I’ll ring you up!”
Well played, genius.
So far, I’m not disappointed. The internet is a bit sketchy. And no video mode on the camera? But it is pretty, and smart, and that’s the kind of relationship I’m looking for right now. I can’t be too picky.
I’m waiting anxiously for the release of the iTunes update which makes it possible to download straight from the phone in hotspots, and also the Starbucks program, which I’ll probably never use except when I happen to be in Starbucks with someone technologically apathetic, and then I will show them eagerly. And they won’t understand.

I have yet to be invited to that party. Though with the recent cuts, my invite’s probably been sent.
And holy hell, they really push those protection plans.
I like the interview!

I took the same plunge on Saturday, after I’ve been through about 5 phones in the last 2 months trying to find one that I liked. I’m very happy to be with it. The browser on it is, in a word, incredible.
Nice interview!
