The Bigger Roll-Out?

Quick question: which roll-out/big reveal is a bigger deal, in the bigger scheme of things:
(a) Tuesday's anticipated unveiling of the iPhone 5, or . . .
(b) (rumor du jour) New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie making a definitive yea-or-nay presidential announcement on Thursday?

Either one, smarter than Obama.

Re: The Bigger Roll-Out?
I'm with the iPhone. My current iPhone is dying, and I've been waiting to see what the new one is all about.

MacRumors.com suggests that until some time next year, Sprint will have exclusivity on the iPhone 5. ($20 billion commitment on Sprint's part to save company).

By weight, Mr Christie.
By significance, Iphone 5 :-)

Left and Right care about the new iPhone, only the right care about Christie.

All this does is make Perry and Cane look weaker and weaker.

I go with option c) the release of the Kindle Fire.

Re: The Bigger Roll-Out?
Both are overhyped and overblown.

The big deal is that I'm going to be 59. Hey, I'm a baby boomer, it's all about me. Actually, my birthday is Wednesday. Did I mention it's all about me?

Happy Birthday Alan.
As for I-phone or Christie, I am unimpressed with either one. Michael Tee has the right idea above.
RE: I-phone What the heck? It's JUST a phone.
RE: Chris Christie What the heck? He's JUST a politician.

No, it's not - it's a GPS, camera, Ipod, toy - more work for the Chinese.
I agree with c) - I have pre-ordered one :-)

Why do we need $600 phones (only $250 with a 2 year contract @ $100 / month.)?
I used to drive cross-country with only a free gas station map. I used to listen to various free radio stations as I drove it and got some interesting insights as how the locals lived. I used to take a few pictures and buy a few postcards on these trips. ( I still have the slides of Apollo 11 taking off.) I used to make a long-distance call home when I got to where I was going "to let the home folks know I was OK."
I see people texting and talking while driving (badly) or a myriad other activities (badly) everywhere, all the time. I think we have become ants that have to stay in contact with the colony. And of course, the coolest ants have the coolest phones.

Re: The Bigger Roll-Out?
Ah. A trick question.
In any scheme of things it's pretty obvious that Christie's a lot bigger than an iPhone. And probably bigger than a telephone switching station for most medium sized cities.

Re: weight cracks. Low blow. Beneath Ricochet. Re: significance. iPhone release will create more jobs, including a bunch in the US of A! Plan to get one for my wife! Don't tell her.

Re: The Bigger Roll-Out?
There's nothing wrong with fat jokes. It's not funny if someone feelings get hurt? Thin-skinned people need to get a sense of humor. Christie himself admits he's fat and says it because he eats too much. Who really cares? I know I don't and I know a good joke when I hear one no matter who takes the brunt of it.

Well, at least one of them is slim.

Re: The Bigger Roll-Out?
Will Christie supporters walk around town looking at their hands?
No. Ok.
Christie it is.
