iWant You iNeed You iBaby

What's crackin' 203,

It is hard to describe the joy I felt when Monday's class eventually settled on Apple's wonder gadget - the iPhone. For weeks leading up to its release I found the iPhone an almost infinite source of humour. If Apple is the new McDonalds then iPhone is the Big Mac Combo: burger, friers and a coke. A quick search on YouTube and I discovered two short clips that I think will enhance your own personal iPhone experience.


#1 - The iPhone's functionality and superior gadgetry



#2 - The political aspirations of Apple



I guess the only downside to putting all of your eggs into one basket is that when you drop the basket all of your eggs will smash. Imagine losing your cellphone, internet connectivity and iPod in one foul swoop! Luddism here we come! Continuing the metaphor, the end product of the Will It Blend guy's blendtastic efforts could be coined 'scrambled eggs'.

Despite all the knocking, I still want an iPhone. Don't call me a hypocrite, I'm just technologically confused. There's something inherently sexy about the damn thing. It's the Porsche 911 of cellphones - expensive, fast, good looking and the envy of all your Honda driving friends. "Who cares what it can do, it makes me feel good!" Regretfully, in a penis enlargement pills-like dilemma, the iPhone may not live up to the personal fulfillment expectations of many eager Americans.

I guess that's enough from me. Feel free to add your own 2 cents worth. Regretfully, this 2 cents (US) would only leave you 1 / 30,000th of the way to buying your first 8GB iPhone.
