Why I am getting the iPhone v.2

I do believe that the first version of the iPhone was and still is the best and brightest in the way mobile phones should be. This is a true re-imagining of a device that we have seen grow over the last couple of decades. They to the idea of what technology we have today and forgot all the rest. How would you build a phone from the ground up if you didn't know how mobiles phones were manufactured today.

With all the hubbub of hype that the launch garnered by the public, it is hard to say that I could not buy this first generation of next generation tech. I had a contract and could not afford to change for a few different reasons over money. Now that I am out of my contract I could not in wait to get one...but then it dawned on me. This thing has been out for almost a year, so, I should be patient and get the next big thing.

I remember the beginning of the iPod craze. And yes, my first iPod was a second gen then too. Whenever Apple released a new model it was heads and tails better then the prior one. Wether it be voice recording or a color screen they always made it worthy of spending money on an upgrade. Knowing this, I would be foolish if I spent my money now. I want the latest and greatest.

In the matter of patients, Apple has actually helped me. According to the Apple store online, and my local retail outlet, they have none in stock. Can't buy one if you can't find one. But, you say that I could go to Ebay.com and get one there. Yes I could, but that would not be as much fun as it would coming home from picking it up from my local store and not having to wait for shipping and handling.

All I know is that sometime in the next month, I am guessing I will be able to have my wish come true.

This Shuffle can Light you way.


Well, I go by Borders Books Store this week and what do my wondering eye perceive, but a iPod Shuffle knock-off, with a light. This knock-off is called the Micro Clip light and is not bad. It has a swiveling light that can be adjusted up and down. Of course the big silver button is to turn it on, but you can squeeze it lightly to just have it on for a moment or press it down harder to click it into full on position. It has a clip on the back that is very shuffle like. The Light is made by Gold Crest LLC and you can buy it online at mightybright.com

I don't know if Apple will have anything to say about this, but I made sure to snag one before they could. You can see more at Shuffle Lite.
