iExperience

iPhone

“Excuse me?”

I’m walking along Carlton Street, iPhone in hand, looking for free WiFi (oooo! Days Inn has a big access point!), when someone approaches me.

“Are you American?”

“Huh? No,” I say.

“Is it…” he starts, meaning the iPhone, “What’s it like?”

“Perfect.” And I smile wide.

He smiles too. Like we just shared our love of Jesus. We talk a few moments and I let him play with some buttons. “I need to get me one of those. February I guess.”

“Or December, or 2008, or never. Rogers hasn’t really said.”

His smile fades a bit.

    A phone that don’t work.
    How cool is that?
    Maybe you should tie a string on one end and another iPhone on the other…

    Pretentious? Moi?

    I have to wave the damn thing around. I can’t talk loudly on the phone part yet.

    But it is kind of cool to see the names of people’s routers. Stuff like:

    Stargirl
    Wiggly
    Sheamus
    and the lazy: dlink

    God wants us to watch str8 porn. It’s in the Bible, right after “hate thy neighbour”. I can’t believe you’re just wandering the iStreets cavalierly waving it around… I hope you understand that what you’re doing is like juggling three glass bottles of rubbing alcohol at an AA meeting.

    Bill O’Reilly reported yesterday that there’s a band of gays with iPhones (Worksafe – it’s flickr!) downloading porn from open WiFi ports.

    Would you like a pamphlet?

    Really, really, really hating you.

    This is so unfair, I’m a million times more an early adopter / goddamned fool than you and I don’t have one.

    More oppression of the white heterosexual male right there.
