People sound a little obsessed with this whole iPhone thing. Me? Not really. I'm a Verizon customer, I ain't switching to AT&T just so I can drop $500 on a new phone. Not to mention the fact that I just got a new 20GB video iPod last year. And besides, I'm still living in the that's-so-2005 world where one's music and one's phone are separate entities. If I commuted by train, for example, I might feel differently about wanting a single device. But I'm in my car a lot, an activity that doesn't lend itself particularly well to iPhone touch-screening at 70 mph.

But if you're in the market for an iPhone and can manage to track one down, the good news is that AOL email is totally compatible with the new device. So don't sweat checking your AOL mail on the new toy.
