King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

iPhone

I finally got my hand on the much talked-about iPhone (8 GB).
.
Price: Not telling (A little give away: Under S$950)
.
Why I go ahead: It has been a long time since I do something foolish. So here is it.
.
I still plan to renew my Starhub contract in 3-mths' time and get a free phone. With the iPhone, I ended up subscribing to the Max-Mobile plan, allowing some kind of GPRS downloads for my financial news & updates (another $10 per month).
.
Still, the new toy kept me busy all weekends. Now I can say that I have a handphone, an iPod, and a mobile computer all-in-one in my hand.
.
So far, I cannot recall who had asked me about it. It must have been a hundred or two...maybe three. After seeing the gadget, they all always have the same reaction: Don't let me see it, ohh...please...any longer & I will want to get it NOW!!!
.
Steve Job...job well done huh!
