So, the iphone comes out today. To quote Adam Sandler from The Wedding Singer “Whoopee-dee-doo!”
A few reasons I will not be getting an iphone anytime soon:
- I already have a cell phone that I didn’t pay $500 or $600 dollars for.
- I already have an ipod that I didn’t pay $500 or $600 dollars for.
- Both my cell phone and ipod work just fine.
- I only use my cell phone to call people and the occasional text message, I don’t need the Internet on a phone…yet.
- I don’t use AT&T as my cell provider, nor am I willing to change.
I’m not an Apple fanboy, nor am I an Apple hater. It’s just that there is no way I could justify getting an iphone. It has less memory than the ipod I already have. Speaking of the ipod I already have; even though I’ve started using it more recently, I don’t use it but maybe an hour a day, so I don’t see a reason to have it with me at all times. Now, if they made a 80GB touch display ipod that wasn’t a phone I think I’d be interested. Maybe that is on the way. I’d like to see a music only version, but I doubt they will do that since they have the video already built in. I just can’t see watching a movie or TV show on a screen that small. The one thing I hope comes from this is that we’ll see less of those annoying iphone commercials.
On a side note, there is a guy waiting in line in New York City that is first in line and has been for most of this week. But he’s doing it just to be first in line, not for an iphone. He has been dubbed “the iloser”. Honestly I think that everyone in any line waiting for an iphone should be considered an iloser.
