What a week
Posted by dextr0us on September 5th, 2007 filed in .etc, .nrd, .tech
Wow, what a week to be an ex-cellphone blogger. Not only does apple slash the price of the iPhone by $200, but Palm also killed the folio. Crazy freaking week.
A $399 iPhone makes the device really really attractive though, especially at 8gb. As soon as the software unlock starts spreading and I can plop my T-Mobile SIM in there, I’ll likely do it. Otherwise, I’ll have to contemplate the iPod Touch, although 160 GB in my pocket makes the iPod Classic pretty attractive too.
Decisions, decisions… too bad my wallet already made the biggest one of all for me: I’m not getting any new hardware this year, and probably not early next year either. Owch, the wedding, it hurts.

Looks like you’re investing in a different kind of “hardware”. The kind you measure in karats.

Nice save, Jake. Karats, yeah, karats.
BTW - once you’re married, you have no wallet anymore. Just hand that puppy over to the wife.

This week only seems crazy because it is only 4 days long. The amount of given time to announce spectacular news has been dramatically slashed by 1/5th!
