That is one hell of a thought process you went through, and it seems that the internal Kirk ultimately devoured the your internal Spock to pick the iphone. What times we live in – I remember when you had to find a payphone that took a dime to use. And the interface sucked.

I was at Lou Malnati’s here in Chicago last week with a friend, and there was a guy playing with his iphone at the table next to us. The guy was so excited to show it off that he let me play with it for a bit when I asked him how he liked the thing, and it was one pretty amazing device. I googled a few local businesses, and I loved how touching the hyperlink actually called the phone number. Everything was integrated, and the interface was insanely cool.

I would think that some kid in the Netherlands is already working on cracking this thing, and when that happens you’ll be able to load anything on it.

I can’t go with the iphone until they fix the subway problem – US Cellular is the only carrier that works on the El underground – as cool as the iphone is, I still need it to work as a phone.

Have fun with it though, and congratulations! Since it’s also an ipod, I’ll buy your 80g video cheap!
