Last night was pretty interesting at the local bar where I enjoyed my time with some friends and some drinks, for it had turned into a tech toy event. One of my friends is now the proud owner of an iPhone that instantly became the star of the show with everybody who caught sight of it. He and I spent a few moments here and there comparing our devices and his was clearly a winner in regards to popularity amongst the public masses. I could stand on my soapbox all night long and speak of the missing features of the iPhone compared to my Nokia E90, but nobody would have cared to listen for fear of missing a single second to ogle my friend's new toy. Even in the midst of him showing me its magic with Google maps there was another owner who popped up holding his iPhone out in full display.
"Is this the iPhone corner?” he asked.
After an interesting Mac conversation he went ahead to rejoin his buddies.
All in all it was a great night had by all and I am still in love with my Nokia E90. I am just amazed at the marketing power that Apple put behind this device. Even in the darkness of the bar everyone recognized this thing and flocked toward it with wonder. Anyway, I am looking forward to the release of a rumored next gen iPod that runs Mac OS X and has multi-touch interfacing.
