Occasional Observations

So there I was in the theater, sitting towards the back, stage right, and the house lights were up during the interval - the ideal time to pull out my iPhone and send an SMS message to a friend about what we'd do next.

I pull out the phone and twist it round so that the screen's in landscape mode, and start tapping out my message, when the stranger in the seat next to me asks "Hey, is that an iPhone? They're pretty cool, aren't they!"

And then I woke up.

Actually the dream carried on but I'm not even going to try and explain why someone was driving a car up the aisle (and no, I don't remember the make, model or color).

This is perplexing. I didn't know I wanted an iPhone. I was in the US shortly after they launched, and had a little play. It's of course an instant icon although I didn't like the touch-screen too much. iPhone is launching here in major European markets within the next couple of months, so I'd better try and steer clear of the shops for a while...
