iPhone cult status examined

This is a well written post. Thanks. Keep it up.

I'm really trying to examine just why I want this object so much. I'm a geek, through and through - a very social one that loves to connect. I like the aesthetics of the UI, something I care about a lot. But I'm concerned that I'm lusting - yes, sinning - over an expensive toy that I'll likely drop or lose.

@12: I know the Pope has an iPod already, so it doesn't seem like he'll be completely against the idea.

Do you think the pope will get an iPhone then? I know the Queen has an ipod.

Just FYI, "phenomena" is a plural, the singular of which is "phenomenon." Sorry for being a usage Nazi. I'll go sort my M&Ms by color now.

I'll be completely honest...when imagining the fun of having a new iphone at my disposal and being the envy of many fellow urbanites....I had a moment of realization that I simply am not a person who has enough friends to constantly have reason to use the phone. So I am brought quickly down to Earth. Even knowing that I certainly would get my moneysworth by being able to consult wikipedia or imdb on a moment's notice, there is the grim truth that there just aren't that many people asking me for this info.

I'm still in the middle of writing my article...

Should be done this week. Fun stuff.

Even a Jewish grandmother like me agrees that owning a Mac can be a transformative experience. Happy to see that our devotion cuts across religious lines. As for the iPhone, I'll be a purchaser once the price drops to a more affordable level.

of course there are realistic christians ! there are also unrealistic agnostic

jeez, thanks my Lego Power , we still have Reason !


and about that article and iPhone, I have one thing to say : aouuuuum.

I really enjoyed that article, it had some nice insiders. He also had some nice things to say about looking ahead in the church, something I miss a lot.
By the way, although I am a catholic seminarian, I am quite liberal and find a lot of those religious preachers disgusting with their creationism, anti-gay, anti-sex, anti-whatever. I would like to let you know that there are still some christians that are realistic and down to earth.
