The Future’s Always Tomorrow

I’m tired and I have to get up early tomorrow morning and work, and I don’t have anything to talk about. I don’t even have a jogging listening list to post, since I didn’t jog this morning. Hmmmm… what to do?
Let’s go to the news:
It looks like Apple may introduce their 3G iPhone as early as June. At one time, this wouldn’t have bothered me. I knew full well when I bought my iPhone last month that a 3G version was coming eventually, though I thought it wouldn’t be until like September. If I had know it was only going to be June, I might’ve held off till then. But then again, I didn’t think I really had a use for a 3G iPhone – that I would use the data/Internet functions of the phone so infrequently that the slower speed of the AT&T EDGE network would be good enough. (Or that free WiFi would be available wide enough when I needed it.) But the Internet functions are so easy to use and so useful and the webpages so look good on the browser, that I find myself using it a lot more often than I thought I would. And I’m getting really tired of the slowness of the EDGE network, though it is certainly adequate. 3G is supposed to be really zippy, especially compared to EDGE. Ah well, maybe Apple and AT&T will have a cheap upgrade path…
I’m surprised at how popular the iPhone is among the female set. We all know how much Fahey loves and caresses hers, as evidenced by comments she’s made on this blog. But my younger sister was also pretty excited and jealous when I told her I got one, much moreso than her husband (who works for a competing telco). My older sister is also envious. Is the iPhone like my Prius? As a Real Man, should I not own one? Is it too touchy-feely of a device? Guess I should’ve gone with a Windows Mobile phone after all, with its zillions of configuration options and hassles.
And, most importantly, will Cubans want iPhones?
Latre.
