re AT&T

A friend called and said all the Rochester-area AT&T stores were out. That's the good news.

The bad news ... well, I won't type this blog entry's title here lest it violate TOS:

I sure hope things go swimmingly from here on out, or RIMM is going to make a marketing miracle out of Apple's tripping over its own launch. Would you trust your business to these wet-behind-the-ears amateurs? They'll ask their important accounts. Oh, boy.

I'm eager to hear what the first few months of experience with MobileMe do for users. If it proves truly novel, reliable, and fast, I'll become happier. At present, I'm long simply because there's so much money headed into Apple's pockets over this thing, and most consumers won't care about MobileMe (which they've never had), they will be interested in the phone, the GPS, the apps (games!), and getting a stereo jack they can ... you know ... actually plug a standard mini-stereo jack into. (Shocker!)

Take care,
