Time to start saving.
This device… is almost exactly what I’ve been dreaming about since the first day I had a phone. I was never happy with the phones I’ve had. They’ve always the user interface I was looking for. Even my newest phone, the d807… I was happy with the slider functionality, but the headset volume is quite low. The camera is 1.3 MP, but I keep getting blurry pictures… And man… don’t get me started with music. I always wondered when the heck we would get something that brought together listening to music, watching clips, making calls, sending emails, using the Internet, chatting online, taking pictures… blah blah blah. A do-it-all gadget.
I’ve bought all sorts of gadgets to try and have this happen. I tried to make my iPod into a PDA… I’ve tried making a PDA (my first compaq, then the iPaq, then the Toshiba…) into a music player… I’ve tried making my first MP3 player (what was it called… it used Iomega’s Clik 40 MB disks…) into something more than something that plays music.
And I’ve failed at every step of the way. This is because I’ve only know how to deal with the software that I could mess around with. I could try and hack it… but man, if only there was the hardware to do what I wanted to do.
Then Apple shows up in my life… and now… the iPhone.
Wi-Fi. Bluetooth 2.0. Freaking mini-OS X running on the thing. Not to mention… an extremely improved user interface to deal with phone calls and voice mails. Oh, and a 2 MP camera… and I’m sure it’s built solid. And all the prettiness… three extra sensors to make everyone happy.
