On my way to Austin, I got stuck next to a couple of Apple-loving geezers. These dudes were crusty old sales monkeys that apparently work for some tech company in Silicon Valley (my flight departed from SJC). One of the guys had an iPhone and I was about to ask him 2 questions:

1. How is that iPhone working with your business email?
2. How about that $200 price drop?

However, I soon grew bored of his incessant bragging on how great apple was, but then I heard him tell the story of his iPhone adventure.

Apparently he waited in line to get an iPhone, although he did not mention how long he waited. He went on to tell the other dude that he got a fancy adapter for his iPhone for $10 so that he could use it with regular headphones. Lame. Then he was yammering on about how slow the data was on the phone and how he couldn’t wait to go buy the 3G version when it comes out. Double Lame.

The best part was when I heard what he did with his $100 credit. He went to an apple store and bought an ipod nano. Why the hell does he need a nano when he has an iPhone??!?

So here’s this dude’s story in a nutshell:

1. He waits in line for an iPhone
2. Apple bones him for $200 six weeks later with the price drop. Somehow this doesn’t piss him off.
3. He gets a $100 credit for apple and is stoked.
4. He goes into an apple store and blows another $100 on a nano that he doesn’t really need.
5. He’s already on the bandwagon for the 3G iPhone, when it comes out

From this we can conclude that he are dumb and apple be intellugent.
