Finally! After months of the rumour mill being in overdrive, the day has finally come - the iPhone was announced in Stevie J's keynote speach today - if you haven't seen it yet, pop down to apple.com.
Yes, it may seem quite sad - and yes, some of you may call me a geek for saying this, but watching the keynote presentation gave me more than a fleeting sense of pride. Since moving from PCs (ugh) to Macs over three years ago, I've been a dedicated evangalist. Convincing people of the merits of buying a mac became my calling - and I have no shame in admitting it - I became an apple 'fanboy'. My homepage was apple.com, I would buy all my music from iTunes (even if it was cheaper to buy the CD), I stuck with iPods even when the competition hotted up on the MP3 player front. Hell I even started eating more apples, using DKNYs perfume, drinking cider - my dream destination was Vermont, to admire the apple orchards. I confessed to Deepti, on first setting foot in the Apple store, Regent Street, that we should find out it Apple would be willing to hire the store out as a venue for our wedding...
So, when I heard the cheers as the iPhone was released, it was almost as if apple were taking over. There's more to us than iPods, and you can't even compare vista to Mac OS X. To commemorate the 2 billionth song being downloaded from iTunes, I'll leave you with the following lyrics from Fiona Apple's song 'The First Taste';
'Give me the first taste, let it begin heaven cannot wait
Forever Darling, just start the chase - Ill let you win but you must
Make the endeavor
Oh, your love give me a heart contusion
Adagio breezes fill my skin with sudden red
Your hungry flirt borders intrusion
Im building memories on things we have not said
Full is not heavy as empty, not nearly my love, not nearly my love, not nearly'
Now, go put yourself out of the misery of using a PC and buy yourself a Mac. You owe it to yourself.
