Frustrated Gadget Fan . . .

. . . a lament.

I like gadgets. I can't afford to buy any of them, but I like to look at them, at least. I look at Engadget and Gizmodo periodically and have noticed that there are a lot of gadgets that never see the light of day there. Here is one of the most idiotic headlines I have seen recently

Nokia N8 being announced in April

Not announced, mind you, but "bring announced". What sort of "buzz" are they attempting to generate with this type of story? Hey, here's something that may or may not make it to market which may or may not be announced in April (it's now March) says someone who knows a reputable person who thought they heard it from someone who came across an e-mail forwarded from someone who might not be psychotic. . . well you get the picture.

Isn't it bad enough that I can't affort the things which are on the market or are announced to possibly be on the market? Now I have to feel inadequate about something which is rumored to be announced to be on the market -- which I can't afford either.

Sigh . . .
