All it takes is one commercial for the Apple iPhone and I’m right back where I started: salivating at the idea of owning it, and fretting at the thought of having to justify $600 for a phone. Damn you, Apple. Then again, this is no ordinary phone…
I absolutely love the way Apple features San Francisco so prominently, and of course the new Google Maps treatment is astonishingly beautiful. For more eye candy, see the other two commercials at Apple (they’re in high res too).
I promised myself I wouldn’t be swayed by the coming onslaught of media coverage (two articles in the New York Times alone tonight) nor weakened by the Steve Jobs (FSJ or RSJ!) reality distortion field, but there’s no point in pretending otherwise. We all know that I will be standing in line on June 29th to buy an iPhone, just as I did on November 10, 2001 to buy the first iPod, though this time I sincerely doubt I will be standing alone.
I can’t wait. Much more soon.
