That’s right. I have it. iPhone.
The forbidden fruit. The device that Steve Jobs doesn’t want me to have – yet. And I love it.
In fact, love seems to be the default reaction to this device when it is demonstrated to people – unless they’re h8rs!
Show them the camera. Pinch in and out. Rotate the phone and watch the picture automatically follow suit. Show them the iPod in coverflow mode. Show them that it has Youtube, mobile internet, and (surprise!) it’s also a phone.
Then explain to them what “Unlocking” is, and what “Jail-breaking” is, and why Steve Jobs loses sleep over it (well, not as much as AT&T since Jobs still gets his hardware cut from the deal.)
And they say, “It doesn’t even look like a phone.” And you tell them, “It’s not a phone. It’s a phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a break-through internet device.”
And they love it. And they love me. And I love iPhone.
