The next generation of iPhone was released this past Friday with it’s fair share of technical difficulties. PCWorld.com reported that “Activation problems prevented new iPhone users from using their phones, rendered old iPhone unusable, and served up error messages to iPod Touch owners.” How psyched were people when they waited in line all night and dropped a fat wad of cash for a device that they couldn’t use (or even insure)? Three months from now Apple is going to release yet another version, rendering this one obsolete. Oh and it will be half the price. So no, I won’t be purchasing the iPhone 3G. I’m still waiting for the iPhone that will mix me up a margarita while it simulataneously cleans the litter box and swiffers the floor.
Quick recap of Apple’s latest gadget:
fad [fad] noun
a temporary fashion; a craze, interest or activity that (some) people follow enthusiastically, but lasts for a short period of time
