« I need a new phone, anyone know of anyth... | Main | Web based subversion browser »
Over the last 2-3 weeks it seems as though 90% of the blogs that I'm subscribed to have been talking about the iPhone.  This is me succombing to peer pressure :) 

While I'm not *really* planning on getting one, I couldn't help but stop by the Apple store this evening on my way home from Sam's b-day party, afterall it was right on my way home.  As I strolled into the Apple store I was a little surprised that there wasn't more people inside, afterall this was the iPhone!....surely everyone in Marlton hadn't already gotten one....or had they?  Anyway, after strolling in and playing it cool, I mosied my way on over to the iPhone section of the store.  While the store wasn't crowded, maybe 10-15 people total, every one of them was playing with an iPhone.  In the 5-10 minutes I was in the store I heard at least 100 "wow", "oohhs", "ahhs", and "I want one"'s.  I'm not sure how many of them came from my mouth, but the that's beside the point.  In short, the iPhone is a very sweet device.  The screen is amazing, the experience is better than that offered by any other device I've probably ever gotten to play with.  In the short time I was in the Apple store, I browsed the web, checked out the calculator, did a google maps search, searched for videos on YouTube, browsed photos, looked at how you make calls, but more than anything I just admired the device that Apple has put together.  After leaving the store, I thought about what affect the iPhone might have on my life.  I can see a lot of people buying one, like a really lot.  I wonder how long it'll be before I'm one of those people.

I know I would like to get one, but at $500-$600 bucks i really don't think i will. When the price hits the $150-250 range is when the masses will start to buy them. I know that is about the only time i will seriously consider buying one.

I haven't played with one yet (Brent got one), but I was going to hold out for the HTC Touch. Runs Windows Mobile 6 and has a similiar multi-touch display. But I couldn't wait for that either so I got a refurb'd Cingular 8525 for $99 (+2 year contract)
