Once again some will stand in line longer than the rest of us to pay significantly more for a gadget than anyone ever will.

Why?

To some extent I am guilty of the Android tribe anti-iphone bias. But it is the whole waste money getting something the first day that drives me nuts. Not that I care that people like apple products. I just upgraded to the Galaxy SIII now that the SIV is out. I will rush out and get it as soon as the V is launched and I can get the IV for 50 bucks.
