Re: iPhone in the UK is a major bad Apple!
I am an old fogy with a long term commitment to a cell phone provider
which isn't favored by Apple.
Besides picking up my phone in the morning and plugging it back in, in
the evening - the most common thing I do with my phone is delete
pictures taken of the inside of my pocket.
I used my camera once - to take a picture of my face as an aid to
identifying me if the phone was lost. I'm not going to pay an extra
monthly fee to copy these low-quality photos. But my phone has a
button on the outside that takes pictures. I will be sitting at my
desk and hear the camera go off - with my camera in my pocket.
I basically have a cell phone because my wife probably would be dead
if it weren't for a fast call to the emergency room from a driver with
a cell phone. I owe big time.
I have a full iPod, and would like to upgrade it to a bigger one - and
wouldn't mind if the bigger one had the touch/video features for the
movies my grandkids watch on it. I don't want to be connected to
the world all the time, although it would be nice if my iPod could
listen to AM radio. (I don't need music stations - I have my own
music).
So if an iPhone was available for me and I bought one - I'd have a fun
toy to play with, and I'd either have to carry less media around or
keep my iPod. Someday I'd probably use mapquest to find a
restaurant in a strange city.
