iphone Frenzy


Ok.Ok. I am jealous of everyone today who purchased the hottest phone out... Apple's iphone. Its a sleak new phone that literally puts advanced technology at your fingertips. With a touch pad screens and access to phone,internet, itunes, video etc. at only about $500 or so. It leaves the Blackberry and Treo in the dust. I would love to replace my Treo with a iphone but I can't validate spending $500 on anything right now that is not essential to shelter.

Today as I watched lines of mostly men lined up overnight just to get the latest phone, I couldn't help but get a little peturbed. Because I thought to myself if I surveyed how many dads were in line and how many of those dads stayed up late to get a teething baby back to sleep or how many gave their kids baths everynight I am sure a significantly low number of them would raise their hands. But here they are standing in the hot sun waiting on a possible chance to get a cell phone. Priorities people. Priorities.
