Waiting For My iPhone
Maybe it’s the two-hour infomercial in California I attended. Maybe it’s the half-dozen times each night last week where one of us would say, “If I only had an iPhone, I could look up…” Maybe it’s all the cool iPhone applications that are going to come out. Or even the $200 price tag. Whatever it is, I really want an iPhone. Watching Steve Jobs’ Keynote address (from an overflow room, as I hadn’t spent the night outside Moscone West in order to secure a good seat), I held out hope for him to say, “…and it’s available now!” Alas. Not only could I not get one at WWDC, but Apple has deigned not to allow Internet pre-sales. I can’t even say that I will get an iPhone when the new version comes out, as I have to go to the store to get one, and they might be sold out by the time I get there.
More news also recently cropped up lately, saying that AT&T might not deliver on the $200 price point for people (like me) currently in a regular AT&T contract before the 2-year phone replacement cycle is over. That’s pretty bad news, and it raises one obvious, but absolutely vital, question: how much is it going to cost me? Inquiring minds want to know.
Alex:
I don’t want to risk not getting one either. I think that I will have to camp out to get one.
