iPhone
What do you do when you are in the U.S. and Apple just introduced a new gadget?
You head to the Apple store and let your inner geek out. This photo was taken with an iPhone by myself so it’s a bit wide-anglish. I then mailed it to myself because that is the only way to get stuff of the phone.
iPhone itself is quite impressive. If I was into cell phones, had money to burn and lived in God’s own country, I might have been seriously tempted to buy one. But neither of these pre-requisites are met so I’m safe. But still it was nice to play with the thing for half an hour.
In the store there was a big table with 15 iPhones all logged in to the Wifi network so the connections were fast. The internet browser is absolutely fantastic and I can see you can actually read whole web pages. You can easily zoom in and out and scroll over any webpage just with your finger tip.

Hee die Mark,
Goeie hands-on ervaring dus.
Ik wil er ook erg graag een, maar ik vind de prijs gewoon te hoog. En ze zijn hier voorlopig nog niet verkrijgbaar, dus tegen de tijd dat ze het wel zijn is er een ruime hoeveelheid ervaring van early adopters om te beoordelen of je het nou wel of niet moet doen. We wachten maar even af.

Half an hour? I had time to get bored in the Apple store, leave, tour an entire giant mall, find a pair of shoes I loved, tour an H&M and Forever 21 and not find anything I wanted – and when I got back to the Apple store Mark still was far from done with the iPhone.
Half an hour, ha!

how funny! I doubt I’ll buy one but now I’ll have to play with one.
I bought a pair of the keens, exactly like yours last year (red), so I’m more interested in the shoes you bought; it’d save me the bother of actually having to shop for new ones for myself. I dislike shopping so much these days that all I need is a recommended sku from someone who’s taste I like, to make a purchasing decision.
