Another Apple Purchase Postponed?
[Apple, Google, iPhone, gPhone]
Seems Michael Bazeley (Senior Web Editor at the San Jose Mercury News) had an interesting time at the Emeryville Apple Store Sunday,
"So I?m standing in the Emeryville Apple store today trying to troubleshoot a problem with a sales rep when a young woman bolts up to us saying she wants an iPhone. Like, now. After some back-and-forthing about the particulars, she says she?s a Google employee and she was going to wait for a demo of the gPhone, but it turns out Google?s only letting 30 people test it internally and she?s not one of them. So she?s going with the iPhone instead.
At which point, the Apple rep and I exchange glances and he says ?gPhone? So it?s real, huh?? And the Google gal realizes she?s probably said too much and changes the subject.
So there you go. Take it for what it?s worth. "
Being a Cheapass-bastard sometimes means not having the latest toys but what are you gonna do?

Heh...you weren't going to get an iPhone this soon, were you? I'm not even considering it until next year at the earliest, and then only if the price point is the $200 range plus can sync my work mail in Outlook so I have one device like my Treo...
Boy that girl is going to get busted...or she's a plant or just a mischief-maker... I don't see why Google would get into making hardware though?
