— unpredictable thoughts

the iphone, the iphone platform

Apple has cre­ated a buzz. Ok more than a buzz. Peo­ple were lin­ing up days ahead of the launch at the Man­hat­tan Apple glass cube to get their iphone. Crazi­ness aside this is a cool phone. Am I get­ting one? Not yet. Why you ask? Because I have to buy a new lap­top and the econ­omy will only allow me one device right now.

I have scru­ti­nized the iphone the best I can with­out hav­ing the actual device in my hands and it is amaz­ing. Not just for the design — we can expe­ri­ence how it looks and feels and what it does. But because it is Apple’s new platform.

The iphone is a com­puter that just hap­pens to be a phone and a con­tact man­ager, music player, a web and email device. Oh and a camera.

But more than that it is a computer.

Peo­ple say wait for the next gen­er­a­tion. Why? If you have the bucks I say buy one now.
