Still traveling

Posted on Thursday, June 28, 2007 by Rex Hammock

Still traveling: I’ll be back in Nashville — and online — late tonight. Until then, anything I may have posted on this blog was probably not that interesting, anyway. One observation however: I think the iPhone coverage has entered the Paris Hilton-zone. It’s just a gadget, folks. As a long-time (since 1984) purchaser of almost every Apple product ever produced (except the Newton), I can tell you one thing: In six months, there will be a much better version of the iPhone on the market and everyone who purchases one tomorrow will wish they had one. If you wait until February, 2008 (or maybe November, 2007), you’ll be able to get the iPhone this one should have been.

Or better yet, you’ll be able to get an iPod with all the features except the phone.

    Or, if you simply must buy something, remember that one must accessorize:

    Instead of a stocking hung by the chimney with care, you could hang an empty carrier.

    That’s what I’m waiting for, the version of the iPod that is just like the iPhone without the phone functionality.

    I read this post yesterday and since then have been unable to decide if I should wait a few months or not. Help!
