iTouch, iWant

I want.
I want. I want. I want.

Andrew insisted on visiting the Apple Store when we strolled out today for his birthday. Ohhhh, he shouldn't have done that.

I've been pretty darn good about keeping my expenses in check the past few years -picking up only what I need for the office and maintaining my frugality.

Not today.

While the iPhone tickled my fancy, it has two major flaws:

1) a phone (silly, I know) and
2) the carrier

I already have a phone and don't use half the amenities on it and I moved from Cingular for a reason. So, naturally, I immediately dismissed the idea of hopping on the wagon.

Today is different.

This iTouch is everything minus the phone. Wi-Fi enabled, this allows me to check out out a company on the fly wherever I am; this capability is a must when I'm out and about town.

This is just another reason why you need to have a Web site. If nothing else, at least a contact page because folks like us are looking you up. Technology is making it easier, more affordable, and the facts prove that folks research the Web to learn more about a company before they consider doing business with you.

It also helps to look up your existing site on this new technology in the store to see how it measures up. I do every time and I will never stop; it's not vanity, it's about usability.

Regardless, I want this. I want it baaaaad.

How to tell if a Web Site Sucks

From a humourous standpoint, this flowchart is hilarious.
