Yes, I seem to be falling farther and farther towards the dark side. Sunday, I bought a 16GB white iPhone from a local AT&T store. I’m sure had I gone into an actual Apple store, I would have wasted much more money than I did.
Actually wasted is the wrong word. Apple makes some amazing stuff. So spent is the word I was looking for.
Ever since buying my iPod Classic a year ago, I have become more and more enamored with the Apple brand. In December, I bought an iPod Touch, and was fascinated with the accelerometer, WiFi connectivity, and multi-touch screen. None of those features had I ever seen in any pocket-size device, period.
I sold my iPod Touch like 3 hours after I bought the iPhone. It basically sold itself. I told my friend I got an iPhone, and his girlfriend was immediately interested in my iPod Touch.
I had been carrying around my iPod Touch, my iPod Classic, and my Treo with me almost everywhere I went. The Treo was out of place; it had to go. With an iPhone, the touch was no longer necessary. Now I only carry my iPhone and my iPod Classic. My pockets love me again.
The iPhone is basically an iPod touch with a built-in phone, GPS and camera. iTunes ported my settings/apps/data directly from my touch into the iPhone. It was super easy. Apps I have that use the iPhone’s mic (like Midomi, iSteam, Zippo, Lie Detector, etc) no longer need the mic/earbuds combo.
In summary, best purchase I’ve made since my Rhodes.
