I can relate to Megan's instinct for early adoption, and I admire her fortitude. But the iPhone 2 experience is not for me. It's the price: I could be wrong, but my understanding is that, as a current iPhone owner who's already sold AT&T his soul, I'd be paying $400 more than the advertised, subsidized price. That's too much for 3G and a GPS receiver that's apparently incapable of TomTom-style realtime tracking.

In fact, I'm not even upgrading to the iPhone 2 software — not yet, anyway. I'd love to have a blogging client and NetNewsWire (which would sync my unread items). But I'm not quite ready to abandon my jailbroken apps. Twinkle's a great Twitter client already — I don't need Twitterific. Lexitron is a fantastic game, and certainly more appealing to me than Monkey Ball. Besides, as any geek will tell you it just feels good to know that there's a command line interface on your phone.

I'm sure I'll crack eventually, but for now I'm holding out. Who knows, I might not have to choose between the App Store and Installer at all.
