The iPhone 3GI love my iPod. I love Mac OS X. For all the debatable reasons of why these Apple products are “superior”, I think we can all agree that it’s really hard not to fall in love with them. But I haven’t been so sure about the iPhone. Some reasons are more concrete, like not being able to afford one right now, but for the most part, it has been a more subtle thing. The answers to the question of “why I would want one” hasn’t been so convincing. But this post by John Gruber is my tipping point. From the Daring Fireball:
If I could travel back 20 years and show my then 15-year-old self just one thing from the future of today, it would be the iPhone. It is our flying cars. Star Trek-style wireless long-distance voice communicator. The content of every major newspaper and magazine in the world. An encyclopedia. Video games. TV. Etc.
It goes in depth, but to the point.
