Saving Our Soul

Now while Apple makes very good first impressions with their products, once you take a breather to look through the specifications it's much easier to see whether you can actually wait or it's a must-grab, although sometimes just by touching their products you could possibly have just sold your soul at that particular point.

Which was why last Monday while boardgaming in Klang our soul was in peril when Webchitect brought along his iPhone.

Thankfully we'd already did a sort of run-through of the iPhone and so held on to our soul when we played about with it. Very smooth and speedy response, although keypads may need a little learning before typing we can ever type without errors, rather light.

Very impressive.

But still, no network capable of running the iPhone yet, no 3G connectivity, no MMS function and no video calls means we can still wait (for the next generation iPhone).

Then there was the WiFi function.

Okay, so we're admittedly rather dependant on being connected to the 'Web nowadays. If we're not on the pc we'll occasionaly check our GMail and Bloglines via our mobile. So when we got online via the iPhone we admittedly did sell a bit of our soul. Loading was rather quick, and iPhone's 'pinch' function to zoom in and out...

Maybe let's go take a look at the iPod Touch.

Really, I can't see the fuss over that phone even though it's making their way into our market. Telco havent tested it yet la...

Mostly the reaction I've heard here is 'wait for the next one'. But then I haven't handled it myself yet.

Yay, handsome elf-boy in green (we need to handle him too, heh).

Oh for the mobile web browsing alone, there simply is no competition :-)

Ganymede said...

OMG~~~

I want! Though I agree with you. I'd rather wait for the one with more functions in it. Right now, its like having a fancy Nokia 3310.

Thompsonboy: Gadgetwhores all want a bite at it mah, regardless of how well it'll work as a phone (because it loses out as a mobile phone really).

David The Man: Doesn't nearly everybody want one for their birthdays?

Hrugaar: We keep telling ourselves to wait too.

Savante: iPhone was USD399. iPod Touch 8G/16G retailing at RM1339/RM1739. :P

Drownedglass: Sooo agree with you WS.

QR: Oh be nice. Something more like the Nok3110 Classic. Nok3310 doesn't exist liao.

Sam: No stock. :D

Cyclohelix: Sure can wait one...just how long tho' is another question.

Wingedman: Awwwww. Now we know who holds the pursestrings. :P

Jason: Low chance 'cos cap is only worn when we have that out-of-bed look.

hrugaar said...

Maybe I can offer to give you out of bed look more often. Hee. ;)
