600 Bucks: So Much Money, So Little Time

We ask PC World staffers how they might spend their $600 economic stimulus payment.

Greg Adler, Darren Gladstone, and PC World Staff

3G iPhone

Yardena Arar, Senior Editor: Like some of my colleagues, I'm going the new-phone route. And since my birthday is coming up, I'm taking a leap of faith and splurging on the 3G iPhone that everyone expects to see in the next couple of months. I say "leap of faith" because (a) I'm still nervous about a software keyboard and (b) I'm a little hazy on how I'll deal with our corporate e-mail/calendar/address-book system (Lotus Notes) on the iPhone. (Apparently there are ways to make that work, but I'm not clear on whether they require our IT department to play ball.) I'm not a heavy business traveler, though, so the absence of that capability wouldn't be a deal-breaker. I may be late to the iPhone party, but mobile broadband is a must-have for my next phone--and if Apple is selling it, I'm ready to buy.

If there's leftover money (which I doubt), birthday beer is on me.
