Happy iPhone Day (I'm Not Getting One)

iPhone GreedAfter waiting a long year for the second generation iPhone to hit the shelves, I’m downright insulted. The hardware promises so much, and yet the ridiculous extortion that AT&T calls a “plan” makes my eyes twitch.

I am not getting one. In fact, I’m going to leave AT&T for Sprint as soon as I can sign on the dotted line. I’ve had it with mediocre service and expensive plans. After 5 years, they’re losing my business because they’re just too greedy.

My only question now is which hardware platform I should be looking at. This is where you come in…

I'm not getting an iPhone. What should I get instead?

Please leave your reasoning, ideas, justifications, etc. in the comments, and let me know if there’s anything else I should consider. I’d love to hold out for Android, but my current tube-powered wood-burning phone won’t live that long.


Operation Roll Call

A few months back I asked you to help get the attention of a [tag]sponsor[/tag] for my [tag]podcast[/tag], [tag]High Orbit[/tag]. Now I’ve got a few companies interested, but they’re all asking me the same question… How many listeners do you have? You know I want to bring you [tag]live music[/tag] every week, but I can’t do that unless one of these companies helps me out. All I need from you is a little help drawing a crowd!

I need your help to make this happen!
