the wrong kind of gadget lust

no, i don’t have an iphone yet.

people keep asking me if i’ve got one, if i’m going to get one, when am i going to get one? the answer: “no, maybe, i don’t know.”

initially i wasn’t that interested, but as the days lead up to the release, i watched more of the videos apple put out on all the cool things it does. the best one was the one that explained the virtual keyboard and all the clever things they do with it to make it more usable. for example, using the built-in dictionary not only to suggest words, but to actually then virtually make the next letter in your word bigger on the keyboard, ensuring less typing mistakes from a tactile-less interface. fucking brilliant.

so honestly, sure, i’d love one. i haven’t even gone to see one in person (now living on the entire OTHER SIDE OF THE BAY from the apple store now) yet, but sure i’m tempted, especially since i’m getting tired of this nokia n80 brick i’ve been lugging around. plus now that i’m hooked on mobile internet + gmail + google maps, the whizzy iphone browser makes me all atwitter.

but do i have one yet?

no. why not?

because i spent my iphone money on a dishwasher.
