Ok, so remember that post where I promised I wasn’t getting an iPhone?
I take it back.
I got one this week, and I’m realizing that Apple stealthily tricked everyone into buying a nanotablet pc which also happens to make phone calls. It’s like someone 20 years in the future stuck their phone in a time machine and sent it back to us. Google Maps with traffic info is making up for the bitter feelings about my laptop. My motivation for getting one? My old roommate and BFF Jeffrey, who, bless his heart is one of the least technical people I know, showed me his Jailbroken iPhone. I felt like a luddite. So I’m going to get cracking and hacking on it.
Ironically, on my first attempt to visit my blog’s admin page with the iPhone, I accidentally deleted the post about how I wasn’t getting one (Honest! I tried to restore it but the Wayback Machine hasn’t spidered my site since June). I think the iPhone may be even smarter and more diabolical than Apple is letting on, but at this point it’s just so ridiculously slick that I don’t care. It’s the first mobile internet device that doesn’t make me want to stab my own eyes out when I try to use it to surf the web. As a bonus, the camera doesn’t suck, which is also a first for a cameraphone.

All I can say is this, when I last ventured into the Apple Store at Washington Square, a lot of people were bringing in iPhones to be replaced for various reasons. I gots greasy fingers so the iPhone wouldn’t be a good match for me.
