This is what I’ll be saying come Saturday. I don’t think I’m buying one (yet). Even if I wanted to, check out these guys. Sheesh. With that kind of competition, why bother. It kills me that I’ll be that guy asking to play with your new baby, but you should probably expect it for awhile.

I’ve been a bleeding-edge buyer of a 1st gen Power Mac G4, iPod, 17” PowerBook G4, and MacBook Pro. While they were all insanely great products, I was left insanely jealous when the next rev came out. Given the kind of early-adopters Apple has, the 1st gen products are always just enough to make a splash, but the 2nd gen is when the speed bumps, price drops, capacity increases, bugs get fixes we don’t even hear about (see MacBook Pro motherboard revs).

I’m really fine with the speed things change in the computer world. Planned obsolescence is hardly malicious anymore, things can change faster now besides the realities to keeping the marketplace interested. But when it comes to 1st gen iPhone, I’m counting to ten as I sit this one out. :(
