OH BOY. My prayers were answered yesterday (be able to surf the web while being mobile, view photos, listen to music ALL on the same device) when Apple announced the new 3G iPhone.
I love most things about it. BUT the one thing I do not like, and have a question about is:
Why the plastic black ( or white ) back? The aluminum was so much more "green" and more smart. It did not show scratches or signs of use. It was sleeker and more sophisticated-looking. I also think it stood out from the crowd. Now it will look like any other Blackberry, Nokia or Samsung. I am sure they did it for two reasons. 1. Cost. 2. Ubiquity - more people will want it now that it is "like" the other phones out there.
Nonetheless, Christy and I ( and probably Jason G.) will be running to the Apple Store as soon as July 11 comes around. We cannot activate our phones until July 22 ( THANKS SPRINT!) but I will take it out of the box and rub it until activation.
Oh, and did you hear about the new Mobile Me? Bye Bye (dot)Mac. Sounds cool. I hope it works better than the .Mac sync. I still cannot use my Intel Leopard Mac sync at home with my work Tiger mac. It kills the iCal app every time I open it. So I am using Google Calender. GOOD but cannot sync with my new upcoming favorite GEEK toy.
