If this is from Apple, they're doing a good job of confusing us. "I didn't understand a word you just said."
This is my first ever post on this site, and I just wanted to tell you all how excited all your excitement has got me. I don't understand most of it, but anyway
I've never owned a Mac in my life (had loads of ipods, which doesn't seem to count with you Mac types
)- although I'm wanting to buy a new Macbook or maybe a Macbook Pro at the moment (finally got fed up with my PC last weekend when it got the blue screen of death -
). I'm also wanting a new iphone - had a blackberry for years (which I love) but looking forward to giving something else a go. I've been reading these forums avidly for about 2 months and looking at the problems some people are having, and absorbing the hype (and if I'm honest, totally falling for it). I've been lusting after apple products on their website (hold on, a computer that doesn't look like it's made of chewing gum? I'm confused...) I'm worried that the iphone doesn't do everything I need it to, can only hold 3 songs and half a photo, will delete all my addresses when i try to sync it to two computers and doesn't do wireless syncing, play music very well etc. but it doesn't seem to matter to me.
I haven't been this excited about what is frankly, a random date in the calendar, since I was about 6. Which begs the question, is Steve Jobs Father Christmas in disguise? If so, is WWDC attended by his elves? Do they all wear funny costumes, or are they all dressed in skin tight Mission impossible uniforms like the ones that the guys you see on the Apple website "demonstrating" new products with voices that sound like a stage hypnotist (it's all becoming clear now that I write this...)
Seriously though - 3G is overrated unless you're trying to watch TV on your mobile - I know, i've had it for years on (shhh) Windows mobiles/ Nokias etc. The iphone's web pages seem to load pretty quickly anyway.
- What I care about is enough Gigs to hold all my music and a few episodes of the West Wing, South Park etc.
- Enough battery to last a full day (preferably 2) without charging.
- Ideally, it shouldn't be so big that I need to go up a jeans size to fit it in my pocket.
I don't need GPS - the iphone seems to know where you are anyway by magic (it must be those elves
) which is accurate to within a few meters. I'm not going to be left standing in the middle of the motorway because i'm using an old iphone instead of one with GPS. I've also got Sat Nav in my car, and know that GPS isn't always the best thing ever when it comes to getting around.
So if you're reading this Steve, an iphone with decent battery life, a slimmer shell and at least 32gigs would be nice. And make it cheaper. And wrap it in tinsel, and I'm there.
Sorry for my distended ramblings, but I'm a new convert to the cause, and they are always the most dangerous.
Cheers.
