Yup..
Right there with you...
It's not that I don't think it's new, innovative, very cool, and probably very useful to a lot of people.
But it's not something I need.
I don't own a cell phone. I don't WANT a cell phone. Sure, it would be nice to have maybe a total of 2-3 times a month... but hauling the stupid thing around, keeping it charged, paying for the service, etc is more trouble than it's worth to me.
I said much the same about an iPod. I finally got a free iPod Mini on an equipment rebate deal... and guess what? I was right.. I don't use it much. I LIKE it... but it's just not in my habit pattern to use it.
I suspect the iPhone will be much the same...
I'll probably eventually get one when the price comes down drammatically...
Then not use it as much as I thought I would.
I'll wait for the 3rd or 4th generation iPhone.
