Enough with the iPhone already

Friday, June 29th, 2007

I will be so happy when the next 1-3 weeks are over and the mindless endless chatter about the iPhone subsides. I mean seriously… camping out for days outside a store? It’s a phone! How do you even pitch that to your boss? (I assume these people are employed given the price of the phone, but I could be wrong.)

“Hey boss?”

Yes?

“I need to take a few days off next week.”

That’s short notice. What’s up?

“Well, the new iPhone comes out and I have to get in line for a few days so I can buy one.”

[The sounds of crickets punctuate the stunned silence which follows]

“So, uh… can I have some time off?”

For the next few days I will probably be skipping over a lot of the gadget sites I normally follow due to the amount of iPhone coverage that will be saturating things. Wake me when it’s over.
