Ok, I am sorry but euhm, I want one
First there was a wish
Oddly enough, I had a talk about cell phones/pda’s etc with a friend of mine about a month ago, and we where making a wishlist. Now imagine my surprise when Apple announced the iPhone with the exact features we were wishing for! so what do I want?
- Music – I want to carry around the music of my choice, maybe some podcasts…
- Cell phone – Something to make phone calls…
- Address book – Yes, I want to have my entire addressbook with me… And I want to be able to easily CRUD in it. And it must sync with my Macbook Pro. I also want my addressbook available on the cell phone, or at least use it to dial…
- Calendar/Todo – Same deal. I want my calendar with me. And I want to be able to easely CRUD(Create, Read Update and Delete) in it aswell. And again it must sync with my Macbook Pro.
- Notes – I want a way to read/write notes on the road…
Is this so much to ask for? Until today, it seemed that it was…
Look, I don’t want to lug around 3 devices all the time! I could live with 2, but which 2? I really dig my iPod so that leaves 1. A cell phone calls, sure. But that’s all it does, really. A PDA is well… a PDA is worthless… Too expensive to just do calendaring/addressbook/notes, and it’s not a phone. Sure, you have “smart phones”, but they definitally aren’t worth the cash.
And then came the iPhone
Yes, and then Steve made the announcement. Apple supplies! Yes, finally a device that does what I want! And by the looks of it, and not unexpected of course, totally Apple style!
Sadly, it won’t be available untill Q4 this year here in europe. So I’ll start saving up, and as soon as it hit the US, I’ll start reading the reviews and I’ll start imagining…
In closing, Steve… Thank you :)
