Birthday Traditions, Part 3: iSuccumbed
Yes, after all the long-winded needless buildup, the whole point of this is, iBought an iPhone.
I'm not normally an early adopter. I don't like to buy the first generation of any new product. I leave that to Trish and Brian. But my poor aim with my RAZR kinda forced the issue.
I've been planning to buy an iPod for more than 2 years now but never pulled the trigger on it. Hell, even my dad has an iPod now. The strange thing is, I really don't care about the music side of it. It's why I've been able to go this long without one. I'm more about the video. So I've been waiting for a widescreen iPod for my photos and videos. The iPhone and the new iPod touch are so nearly what I want. My ideal iPod would be a 160 GB iPod touch. But it doesn't seem likely within the next few months. And I needed a new phone.
Oh, and what did Steve Jobs do a few weeks ago? He cut the price by $200. That made the iPhone the same price as a normal iPod. And if you buy a refurb model from Apple, that's another $50 off. Suddenly, the iPhone looked like a good deal.
So here's my new toy, this year's birthday gift, in all its touchscreen glory!
Look! It's a photo I took from Tahoe!

Oooh...it's purdy, Dipu!
My nephew was the 2nd person in Kingwood to get it when it came out. I think it's much more reasonable now that the prices have come down some. You'll have to update us after you've had it awhile and tell us if it is worth it/what you like/don't like.
