The iPhone – June 29 at 9:40 p.m. EDT

Oh yes, I am backing Apple in that they will achieve and exceed their goal of selling 10 million of these little babies before Q3 of 2008. The last figures I checked there were over 8 million BlackBerrys are in the market and RIM achieved this feat over four years. They paved the way for the iPhone but Apple paved their own way over the years. The have a diehard group of followers and if these guys did not use a cell phone yesterday, today! Yes, today they are getting an iPhone.

I waiting on at&t (I hate writing this little at&t…need to go to the big AT&T) to release their take-up for the day…let us say they inflate it by 10%...that’s ok…but by next month they will reach and exceed their expectation.

I read that the iPhone “…is the best new thing for a long time…” The best new thing for a long time to me was the iPod. I remember the time I saw the cute little device and those outstanding white cables running down from one’s head to … It was cool. Sitting, looking at them and saying to myself, it is just an mp3 player, but watching that thumb navigating for that one song to take you away from your troubles and into your ‘safe spot’.

At the first opportunity, I went to Best Buy and played with the iPod. I moved my thumb around, press and practiced until I was nibble to navigate the menu and playlist with one hand …brings back memories of learning to use the mouse back in the 80’s. I am a master with the iPod and it goes to show that Apple does understand us and how we use things….that has been their success over the years…easy-to-use.

I am hoping to get my iPhone soon not because Apple’s website said that it will ship my orders within 2-4 weeks….r u kidding! forget it, I can’t wait that long. In any event, even if I am not among the elite to be an early taker I anticipate using this fantastic device in the near future.
