5209 One of the advantages of working at home is that I can watch ABC's The View, to which I confess a bit of an addiction. I usually don't watch it off air as I'm busy working at that time of the day, but I tape it for time-shifted viewing, and I'm a big fan of Whoopi Goldberg. I frequently disagree with Whoopi's politics, being more in harmony with Elizabeth Hesselbeck's perspectives, but I enjoy Whoopi's commentary and repartee. She's much more of a thoughtful philosopher than one would have imagined from her acting and comedy personas. Who knew?

Anyway, it appears that Whoopi, while being something of a tech skeptic, likes iPhones, having been photographed back in June, 2007 by iPhonity.com buying one of the original iPhones, and Contactmusic.com reported, with photos, that she was so determined to get her hands on the then new Apple iPhone, she queued outside with thousands of gadget fans at the official unveiling.

Then more recently by Contactmusic.com leaving the SoHo Apple Store in NYC with another iPhone, even though, she's been plugging the HTC myTouch 3G and Touch Pro2 from T-Mobile in a commercial.

Coolspotters.com also has posted a photo of Whoopi with the iPhone:

So, Is Whoopi still an iPhone fan or has she cooled on the iPhone and become a T-Mobile user (or both) in real life?
