WNU Editor: Watched the Apple live event .... and I said to myself .... no way am I going to spend $1000 USD ($1400 Canadian with tax) on a smart phone. Within the past hour I received the following texts. The GF wants one for Christmas. Her daughters (whose birthday's are coming up) want one as a gift. My brother .... who lives in Silicon Valley .... just told me that these phones would be a great gift for his family for Christmas. And 3 of my cousins in Russia want to know if I can buy a few and ship it to them. #!@$#$@#!$%
Update: Of course .... no one is offering to give me this phone as a gift for Christmas. :(
