The iWANT

Well, it's June 29, and I'm sure you all know what that means...That's right, Pixar's new movie is out. And in about six months you'll probably be able to put "Ratatouille" on your iPhone. Yes, the other huge event of the day is Apple's new cool toy.

The iPhone can play music, movies, has the internet, holds photos, take pictures, and of course you can talk to people. I'm sorry, but hasn't this concept already been done? There are already a ton of phones that can play music, let you surf the web, and take pictures. So why is this phone such a big deal? Well, it's probably because it's from Apple, and people just can't help seeing and taking what the Apple tree has to offer. But come on, it's $600! That doesn't seem to stop people from camping out for their very own iPhone. The hype for this is bigger than the Paris Hilton's release from jail. Now don't start yelling at me. If I was given an iPhone right now, I would take it. Why? Because it looks so cool. But like I said, the iPhone has already been done just not by Apple.

Now something worth the high price would have to be the Microsoft Surface. It of course would be much more expensive, but its price fits. Sadly, still in development, it won't be ready for the public for a few years. If you think about it, the iPhone is like a small version of the Surface. But, this idea for a phone has been done. What makes it so remarkable, the touchscreen?

Now I have to ask myself if I would be acting the same if the iPhone was instead a Zune phone. Well, since I find the Zune better than the iPod, my answer would probably be yes. But I probably wouldn't camp out for something way overpriced, though I would want it. Hey, I've wanted a video game system, and I'm still not close to accomplishing that goal. So, maybe the iPhone really is as grand as Apple says. I don't think the price is that great, but I guess people don't seem to care about that. The iPhone is today's huge hype...it's the iWANT.
