The Waiting is the Hardest Part

June 2010 can't come soon enough.  Most agree that the WWDC will also coincide with the 4G iPhone.  None too soon.  My 3G can't even hold a charge for more than 4 hours and doing any kind of game playing, texting or (heaven forbid) calling for more than 20 minutes will summon up the dreaded 20 percent warning.  That and whichever OS we're at is piss-poor.  Crashes either come from the OS or the device simply getting old: I mean look at what happens when I try to update!  

Confessions of an iPhone iPad-less Early Adopter

Today is the day everyone and their sister flew to Europe to get one early, waited in line for hours or worked some magic to get an iPad.  Mind you the Wi-Fi version only.  The version I'd get, the 3G, comes out later this month.  But the long lines and the giddyness remind me of how I was so excited when the first iPhone came out.  Don't you remember that too? But because I have a new Macbook Pro 15, a (gasping-for-air/on-its-last-leg) 3G iPhone and a Kindle I have chosen to wait.  I keep telling myself, tethering, tethering...

And, depsite my earlier "what is this thing" attitude, hats off to Apple's marketing to changing my mind (and those of millions of others too, right)

Waiting is the Hardest Part!

Like many others, I chose to bypass the 3GS in the hopes that the new, new iPhone would be out by summer.  The typical cycle may have been thrown off by iMaxi, ermmm, the iPad, but as my 3G putters along its battery-life is almost non-existent, it crashes even the most basic applications like text and email – not to mention actual swear-to-god phone calls and is slower than molasses.   It can only be a matter of time, right?    Patience young jedi….
