1000 tulle dresses of the Chanel empire descend upon you!

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Frankly, I’ve had enough of the Blackberry/iPhone debate. I have it almost everyday with a very special person in my life. How about another delay, Blackberry 9000? AKA the Blackberry Bold. We all know the iPhone is chock full of goodies the Bold has only begun to broach (what new visual display?), and my fingers are slim enough to type on the iPhone with nary a typo, even on long emails, so no complaints here.

The iPhone made the smartphone cool, it made it fashionable. Because what were you using then? The Palm? You are not Jack Bauer, there is only so much you can do on a Palm. The iPhone is so fashionable that Chanel has made an app (for free) featuring their latest couture looks from Fall/Winter 08/09. Because you know, in case your personal shopper at Barney’s swore there’s no gray chinchilla gloves this season, you can prove her wrong just before throwing your iPhone at the incompetent wench. And if I was vacillating on the Blackberry/iPhone fence, then this app pushed me over to Apple’s side. It’s so…useful. Seriously, if you have reservations about jumping on the (Apple) bandwagon, you should know that it’s not sheep-like behavior to be an acolyte of the very thin, very rich, and very fashionable world. It really just makes you cool. And if you have an iPhone, congratulations, you’re already halfway there! However, if you find yourself griping about unwitting roaming data charges, then maybe you should bypass this one. I installed it anyway, because I like to be an early adopter of “cool”.
