Comments on: The Fascination Continues… http://www.geardiary.com/2007/02/27/the-fascination-continues/ Everyone can understand technology; sometimes it just takes a little translating.

It's true what they say, we want what we don't have. While I am still very happy with my Treo 750, I just don't have that excitement that I did when I first looked at it online, or first played with it when it finally arrived. I am more excited about all the latest stuff, some of which isn't even available!! And yes, they certainly love to stick that "World's first" moniker onto products :D Haha true, waiting and anticipating is part of the fun. It’s true what they say, we want what we don’t have.

Some products I've enjoyed anticipating longer than I enjoyed the actual product (kind of like a ride at Disneyworld). :-) Often it seems like companies just announce ideas that they've barely started working on just so they can say they were "first" and everybody else copied them.

I hate it when companies pre-announce their product by so many months. :-P Honefully the iPhone will be released as promised, when promised. Then we can see how much hype they do or don't live up to.

It's funny that they use the word plastic like it's derogatory. I'll take a plastic keyboard with raised keys and tactile feedback over a flat, non-tactile one any day.

As much as we gadgetheads love our smartphones, they still represent a small fraction of total phone sales. I guess most people just aren't that "smart." ;-) The iPhone is definitely not a smartphone (capitalized or not), but I don’t think it is intended to be.
