to iPhone or not to iPhone
been following the buzz, read all the rave reviews, drooled over the ads..
i know someone who actually posted on craigslist looking for someone to stand in line for him.. (did a quick search in craigslist there are many people doing the same. insane.)
quick pros & cons for getting an iPhone:
pros:
- it looks like the coolest device ever
cons:
- it’s expensive
- i hate at&t
- at&t is more expensive than my current carrier (t-mobile)
- doesn’t fit in our start-up budget
- my wife will seriously consider killing me
conclusion:
- i should get an iPhone
need to think of excuses for wife. here is what i have so far:
- this is THE most talked about thing in the consumer space. boxee being a start-up in the digital media space, means we must buy it, play with it, learn from it.
- you always said you’d like to throw away my blackberry to the toilet. here’s your chance.
- TBD (should be some kind of hard-to-refuse bribe)

as the CFO of the house, i cannot allow this purchase, especially now that we are trying to keep our expenses low.
regardless, being avner’s wife for the past 11 years, i expect to see one iPhone popping in our home pretty soon.
i propose a compromise. avner buys an iPhone, maskit gets to keep it. i get maskit’s iPod in the process.
and since i’m freeing mental resources on both side while you’re trying to outmaneuver each other, maybe someone will remember out there are 8 million wii, and non of them belongs to mee
tom, i like how you think.
but actually, Cingular’s reception is not that good in the areas where I am spending most of my time, so I am sticking with Verizon. Will keep my eyes open for a Wii…
Hahha, this is funny.
I’m going through that dilemma right now.
