So the super huge announcement yesterday from Apple was the introduction of the iPhone. I must say that it makes me all giddy thinking about it … but, you know, that’s just the Mac Nerd in me loving anything that Apple drops into the market place. I really doubt that I would ever purchase this.

Sure, it is a revolutionary phone. Sure, it’s a widescreen iPod (with a whopping 4-8 GB of storage). Sure, you can even go super crazy with the internet and widgets and the like.

But, honestly … I don’t even own a cell phone right now … so why would I go nuts in June and spend $499 on the iPhone on top of the service contact for two years. And you just know that you’ll have to have the uber super $$$ a month plan to actually be able to use all the bells and whistles on that new phone. Apple tends to be a wee exclusive with stuff, but the fact that only Cingular will be carrying the iPhone is also a disappointment. I don’t see this ever changing just knowing the way Apple works.

Personally, I think I would rather just get a regular cell phone with the very basic plan and spend all that extra money on an spankingly new 80GB iPod.
