Rumors (and the patent office) indicate that Apple is working on a phone. I used to be a gadget geek, test driving anything more complicated than a toaster. But I soon tired of technology that didn’t solve a problem, satisfy a need. My Blackberry continues to be a mixed blessing. I’m yet another lemming who loves my iPod. I think the thing satisfies a need (maybe a desire, if I’m being respectful to Abraham Maslow) in a simple and elegant way. It provides what I need and only what I need. So I look forward to seeing this phone. This is one of the few gadgets (promises of a gadget) that has gotten me a excited in a long long while. Did I just spill my coffee?
