I don't have an iPhone.

Shoot, I want one - I've wanted one since before there even was one (not lying - see 2005's iPhone & Newlywed in Dubai's iPhone).

But because of the economic circumstances surrounding our return to the States (i.e. joblessness) it's not really an option right now. It's tabled until next summer. And really, I'm okay with that.

The thing is, the iPhone is everywhere.

Everywhere.

Just this week I had an email from a former coworker from that insurance company - a not very technologically savvy former coworker at that - and there down at the bottom is the tag "Sent from my iPhone".

I've actually lost count at how many "Sent from my iPhone" tags I've seen on emails. It's waaaay beyond my hard-core Apple nerd friends. Waaaay beyond my technologically savvy friends. Even waaaay beyond my artist friends.

It's everywhere.

Then this week I saw a former coworker from that event marketing company, and at one point she whips out an iPhone.

Is there a word for "even more than ubiquitous"?

Über-ubiquitous?

When we were in Tahoe there were four iPhone kicking around - four iPhones for eight people. Okay, eight and a half people. The 13 month old was still shopping for cell phone plans, though.

Don't worry, she'll have one soon.

Because they're everywhere.

I'm not even jealous, though. Well, I am, a little bit. But I know that I'll get one.

Eventually.

Until then I can sing this song, "I Got No iPhone".


Of course, the follow-up to that song is clearly "I Got No Money", which I can also relate to ...
