Public statement

I am totally in-line for a new iPhone when Apple lifts the expected veil on the device's second generation next month. My little Sony Ericsson brick is four years old, covered in interfaces that nobody supports any more, and works so spottily that I've been asking clients who wish to have a voice meeting if we could use Skype instead. I tell them that I'm holding out for the new iPhones, rather than just picking up a replacement. They understand.

Hm... I actually told myself (and anyone in earshot) from the start that I'd be in as soon as it hit its first major revision, so in that way I'm kind of pleased with myself for holding out so long.

My private holdout point was "I'll buy an iPhone when the development kit comes out." And I did... which was stupid, on the one hand, because I have done exactly nothing with the devkit except download it. But I've enjoyed the heck out of Mr. Shiny these past three months, so I don't regret getting the v.1.
