New Poll: New iPhone, do you care?

Category: Computer NewsEric (a.k.a. TweakHound) @ 12:40 pm

The news in the last week seems to be all iPhone. I don’t have one and I’ve no plans to get one at this time for a variety of reasons. I only know 3 people with the iPhone. One is a rabid Mac fanboy who wouldn’t ever complain about the iPhone or anything else Apple does. One thinks it’s the best thing since sliced bread. The other routinely has to stop himself from smashing his iPhone against a wall.
So what do you think about the new iPhone, or do you even care?
