Like many people around the world, I find myself overcome with lust over a not only non-existent, but as yet unconfirmed piece of kit: the rumoured and much-hyped Apple tablet.
Do I need one? No
Do I have an idea what use I would even do with one? Almost no; it’d be great for reading digital comics on during my train ride to work …
Does that stop me from wanting one? No, of course not.
I think one of the best – and certainly most honest – ads I’ve ever seen was from Apple advertising the iPod range: above pictures of the range of iPods it read simply: “iWant”. As much as I love the actual products that Apple produce, I can’t deny that they are very good at creating “iWant”.
Still, no matter how they’re marketed, I don’t generally feel such lust over products of uncertain existence, and very unclear use (for me). So why do I want this so much? I don’t understand.
Never mind. If and when the tablet is released I’m sure the Scot in me will find some reason to curb my iDesire

The think I like about the iphone is it fits in my pocket and I can make calls with it and navigate and tune my guitar and use the metronome and Twitter and read etc etc etc… the thing I like about my desktop pc is it can do pretty much anything I can be bothered making it do. (including die, which it did, which is why my only computer is now my iPhone). But the itablet sounds like a stupid idea to me so far. It's just an inconveniently large iPhone. What's the point?

Well that's close to my logical process regarding the mythical tablet. The point of iDesire is that such sense holds no sway. Even though I do not see a use for it – for me – there's still this want lurking there.
Ah, I think I understand. I had that yesterday over a grand piano that costs almost as much as my house in NZ, and would never even fit in my apartment here in KL. Now a kurzweiler keyboard with the weighted keys and great piano sound would be perfect and practical and a million times more logical, but I just really really really really crave a grand piano
And for no real reason at all, other than, I just really want it haha
