Rooting Against Innnovation

A gamble at best and we won!

Rumors had spread that a new iphone was in the offing. Due to be unveiled at the MacWorld in San Francisco this week, the new iphone would bring many new features to the cell phone world.

In Steve Job's annual report of innovation held yesterday at the keynote of MacWorld, there was no new Iphone. 4 million of these devices have been purchased. At least 3 have found homes in the extended Brown family. All of us were concerned about these purchases as we hate to buy an "old" version unless there is serious discount or another viable reason. Our gamble paid off and the Iphone users who treasure their little babies can rejoice.

Some cool things that were presented .. an notebook computer as thin as air.. well almost, a tiny file back up system for a great price, ITunes will now "rent" movies that are downloaded, and Iphones users will be able to customize their desktops.

Cool stuff.

Home you win your gambles today..

Love Pat

Glad your gamble paid off, 'trick! You are truly an "early adopter". You were the first in our family to get an ipod... a real trail blazer!
