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.

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!

[...] When I attended Macworld in February, I wrote, “The least impressive thing about the iPhone is that it’s a phone.” Several times, I’ve suggested that getting an iPod with all the iPhone features except the phone” would be a good thing. So, yes, I like what I’ve heard about the iPod touch. I guess, I’m just not a “phone” person, as I primarily use the iPhone in every way possible, but don’t really talk on it that much. Again, that may just be me. [...]
