It took 78 days, countless visits to the store to gaze at it, play with it, work with it, and when the CEO of the company reduced the price by 200 dollars, it was just too good to pass- we finally succumbed and bought the Iphone!! We've had it for 48 hours now, and to say that we are thrilled with the purchase would be understatement!
When Steve Jobs announced in late January that Apple was coming up with a revolutionary phone that would have a built in ipod and internet capability, every tech geek in the world took notice, and while I dont count myself as a tech geek, it did pique my interest. My wife and I love our ipods- at different points, we have owned three of them between us, we have the speakers, we listen to them in our car, on the plane, everywhere we go. And to have a phone on top of that. Just the icing on the cake.
But nothing prepared us for the cool three and a half inch gorgeous interface that makes the photographs come alive, that makes us see the covers of all the albums we have in there with just the flick of our finger. It is by far, the coolest gadget we have seen. The memory is 8GB (which is small compared to normal ipods) but we could easily fit all the songs, pictures and contacts we wanted. Whats more, when my favorite contacts call now, I see their cool picture come up on the fantastic screen. Makes me want to speak with them more!
It is a cool invention, the coolest till Apple decides to cannibilize it! And by the way, did I not mention that Apple stock was trading under 80 at the beginning of the year without the Iphone and is now touching almost 140. Could the sale of the millionth Iphone in less than three months have something to do with this.
But dont take my word for it. Go to the store and play with it. We took 78 days to make our decision. You may be quicker!!
