Though I thought the i-phone pretty darn cool, I've got to wait for something that runs MS and is on US Cell. They're testing a Motorola unit now and though I've called everyone I know to try and be a tester apparently they only do testing in a little town in Wisconsin and another little town somewhere else. Have to wait to maybe the second quarter or later.
The only thing I'm dubious about the i-phone is the touchpad instead of buttons. These often turn out to be notoriously difficult to use and one is always pressing the wrong screen button or your nails are too long or you can't see the screen contrast enough in some lighting. Have to wait to see one up close.
Smart move though. I wish Apple all the luck in the world as it transforms the company. I honestly never thought they'd be able to pull it off.
As AT&T gobbles up all its old children again... does anybody remember in the old hacking days when they first came out with that new world like logo? Didn't we used to call it the "death star". Seems truer than ever now.
