My Return to the Darkside

This Tuesday, Apple should be sharing information about the next generation of the iPhone and with all of the buzz going around, I have to admit that I'm thinking about going back to the darkside known as Apple.

Prior to the iPhone 4 launch, I was in the market for a new phone but I became disenfranchised due to antenna gate and Steve Jobs half-assed approach to the debacle. I ended up jumping ship to Android and bought the HTC Aria.

Now, I've been happy with my Aria, but it could not replace my original iPhone. Sure, being able to root my phone and have more control over what I could do with it was a nice change, but I missed the bells and whistles that came with the iPhone. In the end, the Aria just couldn't compare.

Sure, I could upgrade to another Android handset, and I've been tempted by the Droid Incredible and other similar devices, but the sirens song coming from Cupertino may be too strong. I'll have to see what the new iPhone is all about first, and more than likely I will probably end up going with the iPhone 4 if the price is right, but going back feels kinda dirty.

There is another option which is to be happy with what I have, but for some reason that's not my style. Regardless of which route I take, I'm definitely interested to see what Apple has to say this Tuesday.
