I wanna touch an iPod

Well today Steve made all my dreams come true.

I don’t use phones very often, pretty much avoid them like the plague, it’s a me thing. Therefore I only have a cheapo PAYG mobile, a contract would be money down the drain. This had never bothered me before, until Apple announced the iPhone, and suddenly being a phoney person has a major perk, making me majorly jealous of everyone who could warrent buying one.

Well woohoo. Apple are releasing the iPhone minus the phone! And iPhone without the phone should really be called the “Apple i”, but instead it’s called the iPod touch.

I followed the announcement on engadget as it happened, and kept refreshing the Apple Store page until it re-opened ready to get my order in. But when I saw the estimated ship date of September 28 I decided I’d better not pre-order it because I would only end up refreshing the order status every 5 minutes impatiently waiting, slowly driving myself insane until I end up crouched in a corner weeping.
