After much debate I have decided to concede the fact the the iPhone won't be coming to Verizon anytime soon. I would consider switched to AT&T but my wife talks to her family so much that I would have to quadruple our minutes just to cover her talktime. That being the case, I have now switched my focus to the iPod Touch. While it will be a pain to carry around two different mobile devices, it will provide most of the functionality I want (wifi internet, push email and calendar, music, and movies). The Touch/iPhone family (and other like devices) are really the future of computing. Sure, personal computers (desktops and laptops) will never go away but they will be specialty devices; editing videos, editing digital photos, and some word processing. Most standard computing (web browsing and email) the is typically done on your home or work computer will migrate to handheld devices as these pieces of technology continue to get more affordable and more powerful. It is really exciting to see this shift taking place. The Touch/iPhone have really brought this to the forefront of media attention even though the shift started years ago. I can't wait to join the millions of people who have already jumped on the bandwagon!
