I probably was among the people who mocked others for their dying allegiance to Apple and its products. “IBM stinks, go Apple and you’ll never go back,” I heard people say.
Well, I caved and bought an iPod Touch, I paid the big daddy dollars for the 32GB version. I could store more of my music. I loved it but there were just a few things I didn’t love as much.
I couldn’t use my bluetooth headphones. 
I couldn’t cut and paste.
Well, in just a few hours, that’s all about to change. Apple is, for a price, making the new iPhone firmware available to Touch users. Yes, I’m going to feed the corporate beast that is Apple and pay the $9.95 for the update.
I’ve been following the rumors on the upgrade on about every Apple fansite possible. Everything was rumors and predictions. I don’t recall reading anywhere that it would roll out June 17th.
But now, I’m just counting the hours away to the new and improved features that I’ll get to enjoy with my Touch. Pathetic, isn’t it? I’ll probably post something after getting the firmware with a review. I hope I’m not disappointed. After all, I’ve looked forward to the upgrade for a while now.
Message to Sprint: After my contract is up with you, I’ll probably bid you adieu for either Verizon or AT&T. The Samsung Instinct is not an iPhone killer. Its OS is rigid and there’s nowhere close to the applications available for it.
i have the iPhone and love it. going to be upgrading to the new one in a few days too.
I love my iPhone too… I think Bruce loves his more than me – he has the new one that does video – and I am ok with that because well it is just that awesome.
