Reminded

Reminded once again how far down the American national media have fallen. Given Iran and North Korea how quickly we throw that all aside to watch music videos from 20 years ago produced by a man that likely killed himself through an overdose of Demerol.

What color am I supposed to turn my Twitter avatar to acknowledge this event?

Sad.

I’m Passing on the 3GS

Almost 80% of respondents are passing on the 3GS mainly because they don’t think the upgrade is worth the money, they’re not eligible for the upgrade pricing, they think AT&T blows, they’re waiting for next year’s model, or they’re simply happy with their current phone.

I’m with the 80% on this one as well.  In fact, I agree with just about all of the above.  Since I already have an iPhone 3G, which I enjoy very much, the $399 upgrade price being offered to me, along with having to sign a contract extension with AT&T is just out of the question.  In fact, I would have sat this one out even at the $199 price.  The iPhone 3G gets me what I need out of a portable phone / Internet device.  Where the 3G comes up short for me, mainly Flash support and a carrier that offers 3G service in my area, the 3GS doesn’t resolve.

The 3GS is a better phone.  No question.  Is it worth $399 and two more years with one of the country’s most disrespected carriers?  Pass.
