Yeah, prepaid probably won’t be very cheap with the iPhone. I currently use prepaid on my cell phone and up until about 6 months ago I only used my cell phone for emergencies. In the long run I would be better off with a plan because I’ll get more minutes for the money. I doubt I’ll get an iPhone just because the local provider doesn’t offer it, Blackberry is all they offer in terms of “smart phones." Plus it’s more money I have to shell out that I could be putting toward a new lens, traveling, or something else. I’ll get an iPhone eventually it just won’t be now.

Now we can all post comments :) Yep, the web is certainly changing. It's becoming a very dynamic and interactive place. Web apps are popping up left, right and centre, and yet, the average internet user still doesn't know of anything other than MySpace and Facebook. But this is all changing, slowly. As for BrightKite, I'm really not in that boat at all. I don't see the point. As Chris Pirillo said, it's a stalker's dream come true. Check out his article: http://chris.pirillo.com/2008/06/14/dim-flight-for-brightkite/ Resist the crackberry! Maybe even pick up a previous gen iPhone for cheap when the new one's are out. Luckily in Australia, the iPhone will be available on prepaid, so we don't have to sign up for a contract. Though how much it will cost remains to be seen (and I don't have high hopes on it being cheap). Much, much better! Now we can all post comments :)
