Every time I see a commercial for Iphones or Android this and that, and apps apps apps, I wonder: who's buying this stuff?
That's a rhetorical, semi-sarcastic question. I know somebody out there is buying the latest phones for hundreds of dollars. But for some of us, maybe a lot of us, the economy is still in the toilet and the job situation is precarious at best.
Iphones and Ipads are way, way off my radar. Since my old, well-paying career was sent off to India by the US-based corporation that purchased my old, successful, Cleveland-based company, I can barely afford healthcare insurance and a mortgage.
Three years ago I bought a Palm Tungsten because it was very, very useful for the little freelance writing job I had, but that job, too, was sent to India and now the Palm is just a high-tech address book.
