Print, cut and fold: for all us poor suckers who can't wait
After Jobs' inimitable speech and a product that speaks for itself, the tech-savvy are already oogling over Mac's new phone. Sadly, Brits have to wait a couple of more months till iPhone sails across the pond (yes, it's so cool it can swim as well). And HY, who already has a fairly new mobile phone in his hands, is already unsatisfied. I adore it, too, just as much as I like my MacBook. However, I've never spent a penny on mobile phones, and will stubbornly stick to that rule. People have given me their unwanted, second-hand mobiles, and what more do I need than a phone that allows me to answer and dial? Coloured screens with a camera and mp3 player? Nah, that's too complicated. Shock horror! I don't even know how to send texts. After four years in the UK, I am still using pay-as-you-go. There was a time when I was conned into a monthly payment contract, and after receiving a 60 quid monthly telephone bill, I am saying no to these monthly deals. Call me old-fashioned, yes, I'd rather use doves to send you messages. iPhone, nah, iNotBothered.
