“Apple’s iPhone looks good enough to eat. I’ve yet to take a bite of this ’smart’ phone, but know that once I do, there will be no going back; I’ll be reaching for it before I get out of bed and updating my Facebook status from yoga class. … The temptation to join the growing legions of iPhone admirers is strong. So what’s stopping me from signing up? Purchasing an iPhone means I have to become an AT&T subscriber. The company has an exclusive deal with Apple to provide wireless service to iPhoners — I’m backed into a corner. If I don’t like AT&T, or it’s not available in my area, I’m facing a digital impasse: no service, no phone.” (07/02/09)
