iPhone 4…
It’s very pretty. And, once again, Apple has outdone just about every expectation with it. I mean, come on, look at that thing! It blows away just about anything else out there now and likely for many months to come. Just because I do this site does not mean I don’t struggle with the gadget lust just like everyone else. And, I want this so bad I can almost feel it taking up less space and weight in my pocket.
That said, the question I keep forcing myself to ask is do I need it, or is what I have now enough? I currently have an iPhone 3G. It takes great pictures, does email, web browsing, text messaging, runs apps, will run iOS 4 when it is released, and it also makes the same dropped calls everyone else’s does (if you are on AT&T at least). The fact is, it’s still a very usable device that has served me well and likely will continue to for a while.
Therefore, I’m making a decision and posting it so that you folks will help keep me accountable. I’m going to wait awhile before rushing out to buy an iPhone 4. I’m going to enjoy my iPhone 3G tomorrow just as much as I did yesterday, I’m going to do the same things with it that I would do with the new phone. For now, it is enough for me.

Needless to say, as an technophile who always needs to have the latest gadgets, I’ll probably gobble one of these up on release day if my finances can support it. However, since that’s an unlikely case, chances are I’ll be waiting a little while. :P

About

Rob is currently a graduate student in Physics studying at The George Washington University. He enjoys precisely long walks on the beach at indeterminable velocities and thinks that talking in third person is the coolest thing since the big bang. A purveyor of fine entertainment, he is not only a physicist, but also a guitarist, a photographer, a self-proclaimed Apple fanboy and a geek, quite often at the same time.

And this is his little corner of the internet.
