Worshipping at the Church of Steve

It's official, Jon and I are incurable geeks and greedy consumers too easily drawn to shiny stuff. I shouldn't speak for Jon but I feel fairly confident he wouldn't disagree. What am I talking about? Why, shiny new Apple gadgets of course! The last couple of months has seen us both handing over our hard earned cash for beautiful bits of kit with glowing apples on.

While in the US Jon had his sights set on an iPad and got one as a generous birthday gift from his parents. I firmly stated I would not be needing one and would save my money for an upgrade to a new iPhone instead. I'll be damned if after a few days of using Jon's I wasn't in the Apple store at the Grove in LA, sheepishly clutching an iPad whilst handing over my Amex card to a nice young man in a shirt bearing that hypnotic apple. Well done Will Power, I know I can always count on you. So not only do we have an iPad, we have one each.

Then along came the iPhone 4, and you probably already know how this story ends. Oh yes, matching iPhones once again too. The justification for the upgrade I can barely afford (goodbye salary, hello statutory maternity pay) is the great portable video capability and I've definitely been using it enough for said justification. The price tag of the iPhone is small price to pay for hundreds of captured memories of the darling offspring. He'll thank us one day once he's forgiven us for spending his inheritance on gadgets!!
