iPhone
Well I’ve broken down and submitted to the power of Mac. I am picking up an iPhone in a couple of hours. Ever since they developed support for MSExchange–which they didn’t used to offer and which I *must* have–I’ve been thinking about it and although I love my BlackBerry Pearl, the stupid problems with the goddamn trackball are driving me nuts. And there is just a lot more possible (or at least, the same things are possible but they’re easier) with an iPhone. So I am going to nearly double the cost of my my ancient grandfathered T-Mobile voice/data plan ($40/month unlimited) and start a new romance with AT&T.
I can’t decide between the black and the white phone. I have to see which is more pretty when I get there.
In order to recoup some of the money I’ll now be giving to Steve Jobs, I plan to cancel my cable since I hardly watch TV anyway. I can see CNN on line and most TV shows, if I even want to watch them which I probably don’t. I’ll keep the cable for 2-13 and get rid of all the extra channels. It’s just a waste. Sometimes I don’t turn the TV on for 3 weeks at a time. I have no idea what some of these shows are. “House”?? I thought that meant it took place in a house. Apparently it’s his name? He’s some kind of doctor? Acts like a dick but always figures out the problem, sort of like like Matlock but younger and hipper? I don’t know and don’t care. “Lost”? Wouldn’t a more apt name be “Stranded” or “Crash-Landed, Can’t Get Home”? They aren’t lost; they know where they are, just nobody else does. What’s that horrible show about Hugh Hefner’s whorehouse? Oh sorry I guess he lives there with his “girlfriends.” That is one weird arrangement they got going on there.
Hmmm I guess I know more about current TV than I thought!
Anyway today it’s an iPhone, tomorrow it might be a MacBook Pro. O it’s a thing of beauty. Oh all RIGHT I won’t get it tomorrow. That’s more of a Want than a Need.
Now don’t get started on the iPhone not being a Need either. Take your Rousseauean Philosophy and go find some jungle-inhabiting nature man to tell it to.
