Must Resist Early Adoption, Cannot, Cannot

Tess Dog
What’s that in my hand you ask Tess dog? Yes, I know I said that I’d been trapped into being an early adopter one too many times and I had finally learned a lesson. Yes, I know I said that. But my old Treo 650 had totally died (different from “really” died, or just plain “died”). I mean, as in it would regularly crash and I would get a battery overheat white screen of death. So I really did need a new phone. Why could I just get a new regular cell phone? I made the mistake of playing with the iPhone at that kiosk. Yes, it was the deadly kiosk that did it. But look at it this way, Tess dog, now I’ll get to take more photos of you since my Treo’s camera really stunk. Exciting, no? Hey stop licking my iPhone.

  1. You do realize that the internet is full of rumours about the iPhone 2, which many sources expect to be announced in the next few months. Not to mention the gPhone, whose release is allegedly imminent.

  2. I understand the gPhone will have no subscription fee but full of advertising. That probably means we can now go through the “Skip this advertisement” maze just to get to the contact list. Great, more reasons for drivers to crash.

  3. Word is the gPhone isn’t a phone so much as a mobile operating system offering up lots of google services. That on its own wouldn’t be a bad thing and I bet when Apple starts allowing people to buy 3rd party apps via iTunes that google will have some fancy ones included.

  4. Nope, I agree Dave. Nonetheless, I’m holding off on buying an iPhone until I see what the gPhone software has to boast.
