Okay, as self-proclaimed Apple hater, I've purposefully avoided Apple products judicially for as long as I can remember. That's right, I'm one of those people who got a Creative Zen/MS Zune (I love my Zune HD btw) instead of an Ipod and an Android phone instead of the iPhone. And as awesome as the iPad would be as an anime/manga viewing device, it still does not justify the price tag. However, after looking into the next-gen iPhone 4 that Apple will be launching in June 24th, I'm starting to want one. Maybe it's the awesome 960x640 screen, the improved camera and WIFI or maybe it's because the HTC Evo that I was so looking forward to ended up having such poor battery life. The only issue of course is the lack of 4G support. But given the increased battery consumption as well as the lack of nationwide 4G availability at this point, it's not something that really bothers me (sure we have great 4G coverage here in Austin but that's not true even elsewhere in Texas). I've heard people complain about AT&T but such people probably have no idea how bad Sprint is (I'd even prefer T-Mobile over Sprint; note, I"m referring to customer service not coverage) so I'm more than willing to switch over.
So congratulations Steve Jobs, you finally got me as I fully expect to be a first-time iPhone owner sometime this Fall (when my contract with Sprint expires of course). Damnit, I'm already sounding like a jackass. ;)
