Next Generation iPhone

Recently my wife and I have been phone shopping.  She is ready for a new phone, and the fine folks at AT&T are willing to renew her 2 year commitment and give us a deal on a phone.  Aren't they giving this fine holiday season? 

So, we're checkin out all the cool nifty phones they got at the store and my wife turns to me and asks, "what do you think I should get"  My obvious answer, despite the costs involved was the iPhone.  I have an iPhone and I love it, so of course as the loving husband I am I want my wife to have the same loving experience with her phone as I do.  However; she turns to me and says, "I don't want an iPhone ill never use all the functionality of it, and its just not worth the cost."

As it turns out, just because I love gadgets, it doesn't mean my wife has the same passion.  So, we kept looking at other phones and she picked one she liked.  I told her as soon as we save enough pennies I would buy it for her.  And she was happy, but I was left wanting a little more...

Shopping for phones always gets me thinking if my iPhone really is good enough.  So I look at all the other phones and compare.  There is nothing out there right now that is even close to the iPhone, not at the AT&T store.  Obviously because of their exclusitivity.  So I let my heart wonder a little to the competition, The DROID.  Is it really better than the iPhone?  Does it really DO, what the iPhone DONT?  Short answer, yes, it does do things that that the iPhone don't  doesn't.  But does that mean its really better?  Well yes and no, but iPhone was first at this game and they obviously have lead the way.  Its not hard to improve on other peoples ideas, it is hard however to be the first.  So, after reading countless reviews on the DROID, and thinking hard about the iPhone I have decided that instead of buying something new just because its new Ill wait for the next generation iPhone.  I think to myself, im sure Apple will be improving upon their features, take a look at the DROID and then improve upon that.  Yes, I will wait for the next gernation of iPhone because it will be better. 
And then out of the blue I find this TWEET by Eldar Murtazin, editor in chief of Mobile Review, well actually engadget found the tweet, and I found engadget, but nevertheless, read this,

"Foxconn received order for next generation iphone" (Here is the engadget link)

So, my feelings were right, Apple seems to be working on the next gen iPhone.  WooHoo!

    Yeah...but...Apple. It sounds like all your wife wants is a phone that works like a phone...One in which to talk to others upon. You should totally get that for her. I havn't researched da Dwoid fone. I don't really want a phone that tries to be 100 other things. I just want it to be a phone. I openly admit I may change as time goes on, but I am still very unimpressed with phones who are proud they can fart as their primary selling point. (I know...that's just an application...but seriously...seriously..I can't even continue...)My mind is still compartmentalized (think waffle) and I think a phone should be a phone. If it can connect to the Internet then it can do anything the Internet can do (including fart if you really want that).
