the geek in me is disappointed

We went by the apple store yesterday, both to avoid the heat and look around. It was the first time I haven’t seen every iPhone taken up by curious customers, so I finally picked one up. I played with it for about 2 minutes before putting it down. I tried the little keyboard and was immediately turned off. I don’t see how anyone can use it. It’s nearly impossible if you have fingernails, and mine aren’t even that long. What about guys with big hands? I know my husband wouldn’t be able to use it at all. I couldn’t even tap with my fingernails.

That’s too bad, because I think it’s a really great phone. But if I couldn’t use it to send text messages or type in a web address? What’s the point? Apple, this is the first time you’ve disappointed me in quite a while.

But you’re about to again, if you don’t bring out a 12” or 13” MacBook Pro. My PowerBook G4 is starting to give me problems. I hope they’re only temporary. But if they’re not, I really don’t want to go up to the 15”. I like this size, I truly do. Please, give us a smaller Pro. I can’t use the MacBook – it’s not powerful enough to run Aperture, Creative Suite, and all the other applications I need. I hope you remedy this soon, Apple.
