Bewitching Bimbo: The iPhone 3G-sus
by Imran Ali
I love the return to the signature white plastic of the classic iPods, iBooks and Macbooks; the addition of GPS enables a new generation of locative media and of course the more accessible price points…but, like the crushed anticipation of a new Star Wars or Indiana Jones movie, I can’t help but feel a little unfulfilled by Apple’s iPhone 3G…
- Where’s iChat? Nevermind the lack of a forward-facing camera or videochat…how about basic instant messaging!
- Wah! I want a 32GB iPod touch! With the new lower price points for the iPhone 3G, there’s still room for a market-busting, high-end 32GB iPhone 3G. Maybe we’ll see another Valentine’s surprise from His Steveness.
- What’s with the antique 2-megapixel camera, lack of a flash and - for Pete’s sake - still no MMS?!
- Black & White? You know most of us are Brown or Yellow Steve
And yet she bewitches me…she’s crazy, dumb, expensive and maddening - but she makes me feel. She’s a bimbo, but each touch of her milky white skin is a revelatory, swooping journey into haptic insanity.
I want her.
