Jon Stewart did a segment about the iphone..when it was first released...the crux of the segment... he loved to use it for surfing the net but he had a verizon phone to make phone calls.
Personally, I have a dumb phone because I just need a phone that makes a call and if I really needed to surf the web "on the go" I would get a netbook. Touch screens and tiny keyboards/screens are just annoying...
Coach purses are high quality and held in high esteem but I've never felt the need to buy a man purse...I promote free markets and if someone wants to pay six times the price for a laptop... more power to them; There is a line between function and vanity...
