Maybe my wife hates me. Maybe she hated hearing me boast about how my iPhone has this app or that one. Maybe she got tired of hearing me say, “Oh, let me tell you the answer to your question” as I Googled the topics at parties. (Oh, yeah, I’m definitely the geekiest guy there.) So she took her perfectly good LG enV3 and washed it in the washing machine. Then she went out and bought the phone I would have bought if I didn’t have this AT&T contract around my neck. She bought the Droid Eris.
Now, she is the one spouting off about how the house we just passed is selling for X-dollars (HotPads) or she just got an email from one of our kids while I’m driving us to church. And, unlike my iPhone, she can watch internet TV streaming from TV.com or from NBC.com. Even Apple’s computers choke on flash video according to Steve Jobs, who says it is one of the main reasons that his company’s computers crash. But, that is only about 75% of internet video so it’s no big deal.
