1. I'd rather have the 32GB iPod touch.
I like the iPhone but I fucking hate AT&T and I refuse to patronize them.

3. I'm happy with my 8Gig Touch...
I have about 500 Gigs of music/movies so I don't even think of taking all of them with me. I just have a smart playlist that uploads the last 5Gigs of music iTunes played. And I manage video by hand since I have to convert it with iSquint first.

6. I don't really need a new phone...
...but I want that iTouch. I'm thinking that sometime before Christmas they'll come out with one in the 60-80gb range. Then, I'll jump ship. Until then, my 160gb iPod will just have to do.

7. The thing that I love about my 80G iPod is that I can fit my entire music collection plus
audiobooks and podcasts with lots of room to spare. So I guess I'm holding out for at least a 60G iPhone.

15. That might be a while
but damn would I like that.

Right now, I think the largest flash based memory drive available is only 64gb.

22. 128Gb Flash drives are coming soon
but they'll carry a huge price premium over even the existing 64Gb drives.

20. I've gotten out of the habit of instant gratification with toys and tools
Since the iPhone is both a tool and a toy, and it goes past my $300 justification point for toys, I'm just biding my time.

25. The $300 limit that I've set for those "toy" purchases
allows quite a bit. I bought an Apple TV last year and still use it regularly today, as I do my TiVO HD. Both came in just under that $300 mark. I never would have bought a TiVo Series 3 because of it's price tag.

For larger purchases, I wait until I have the extra spending money, using credit cards for nothing but travel and emergency use.

26. That is what I have begun doing
saving for larger purchases and trying to curtail spending overall.

This economy has me a bit worried.

27. Aren't you getting married?
Do the words "bridal registry" mean anything at all to you?

Patience, man.

29. Not me. Like the iPod and the Palm Pilot, I know I'm SUPPOSED to want one, but
I just can't work up the desire.

31. Thats ok I guess
I had a Palm Treo, liked it, but the Sync stopped working well when I got an intel mac. Do you hvae syncing problems with your mac at all?

it is seemless with the iPhone, obviously.

33. Well, no, because I don't sync any of my computers with anything. I'm kind of
old-fashioned, so I only use the cell phone to make and receive phone calls. And my music is on CDs, not an mp3 player.

(I only listen to music when I'm in the house or the car; if I'm walking or riding my bicycle, I listen to the world, not music.)

35. Not me. I'm not swayed by such shiny baubles.
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 05:59 PM by Kutjara
Besides, I'm going to be paying off my new MacBook Air for the next year. Oops.

Anyway, I'll make do with my 8GB iPhone until the 3G one comes out next year.
