i-time: the travails of trying to byte the apple

alas and alack! we are facing a crisis of rather disturbing proportions - our beloved berry is about to give up. battery life exhausted, no replacement battery available and we are beside our [considerable] selves!


of late we have been warily eyeing the various products from a certain apple orchard. not for any particular against-the-tide reason, but more out of a nod to our latent geekiness! and in light of the berry grave situation that we are facing we have turned our attenton to the i-phone. given our usually precarious fiscal condition, the current offer from leading telecom operator in this here outpost made our native soul go pitter patter - free instrument on signing up for an annual package. seemed like a no-brainer!


so off we went in search of the promised instrument - only to draw a blank at all the 4 places we hared to in the quest! 2 did not sell the instrument as they were rather virginal and preferred their own folk. the other 2 did not have 'em!! come back saturday was i told, rather gruffly by exasperated looking flat-faced salesmen. would have thumped them if we did not come from more refined stock than them!


so on a quiet thursday afternoon in dobuy, the question is will i-phone or wont i-phone [like the cat i' the adage]...
