Comments on: Blind love or plain obsession? iPhone: your hot, but problematic girlfriend http://digitalecologist.com/iphone-heartbreak/ thoughts, raves and hypertext about the digital ecosystem we live in Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:35:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Jon http://digitalecologist.com/iphone-heartbreak/#comment-96 Jon Tue, 07 Oct 2008 22:56:22 +0000 http://digitalecologist.com/?p=323#comment-96 Despite your warnings, I jumped on the bandwagon and got an iPhone last weekend. I must say, so far I love it. I haven't actually talked on it enough to get any dropped calls, but the functionality is amazing. Seriously, the Pandora app is amazing. I drove from Eastern Washington to Seattle with it seamlessly streaming music. The browser is also great. Full html is sweet. I just downloaded the fring app. It is supposed to allow you to use skype. I hope Apple doesn't remove it... In any case, I'll just have to see how well it works these next few weeks. For now, I am rationally in love. Despite your warnings, I jumped on the bandwagon and got an iPhone last weekend. I must say, so far I love it.

In any case, I’ll just have to see how well it works these next few weeks. For now, I am rationally in love.

Since she is of your age group, I must say that my take is that the iPhone and the code that Apple writes is far beyond what most others can offer. I'm sure it is a wonderful sleek-n-sassy device, but if the network or instrument doesn't work, I'm gone. . . the whole idea of passion for a specific device v. its functionality is mission critical to me. So enjoy the ride on the iPhone roller coaster. . .
