New Age: The Vampyres vs The Werewolves
That battle-lines have been drawn, and for the most part, people have staked their claim in one camp or another. The Vampyres (the Blackberry users) are the insidous clan. The lure of the Crackberry is omni-present and it almost viral in nature. Certainly, having a Crackberry is one of the more elite status symbols. What's the demographic for the Blackberry? Well - to an extent, it crosses all lines in terms of race, age and gender, but the one demographic that strikes me as the one common denominator is that those with Blackberrys are either the business types or perhaps they live a life of priveledge to an extent.
The werewolves, they are the iPhone crew. Typically (but not always) the younger gen. They're the ones that probably have a love of music and want the convergency of an iPod and their music player.
Me, myself...I remain in my own camp - fully and totally uncommitted to either side. I have my iTouch - and I love it, but I'm not certain that I would have a need for an iPhone. As per some of my previous posts, convergency can be a good idea, but sometimes, not so much.
If I were to be lured, I'd have to see that I have an inclination to be a werewolf - don't think that I'd make a very good vampyre, there's no way that I could stay up that late :)
