Well it's not that I can't do this from my box that's three feet away from me: but I'd thought I'd give this truely moblogging thing a shot. So here I am direct from cyberspace via my cellular network via my iPhone with no middle man, is my post!

Neato.

Now before everyone starts up with me about my typical anti apple stance (which makes this whole experience ironic) let me state for the record that I had no intention of getting an iPhone. none. I had never even touched one before I wandered into my cell shop. I had planned on getting something from rim or the samsung epix really for the keyboard and wifi abilities. Touch screen was nice as an incidental feature but I wasn't (and am still on the fence) crazy about touch screen ONLY devices. For obvious reasons that my large fingers wish to stay silent on.

But after talking it over with the sales rep (whom yes was hot) I casually looked over the iPhone features. Which when you combine physical form factor with features at pricing made it suddenly an attractive device. So I played so more. With bluetooth (which I'll never go with out again) wifi 3g network Internet and a way to peg my real world email in my phone, I gave it a go.

So far the downsides are what they thought they were. I'm not crazy about touch screen everything. And I have a disdain for the frustratingly apple over simplification of every thing. And I have an out and out hatred for iTunes as my sole pc link. But life isn't bad. Apps help. My typing and err correction software are getting along better than I thought. And lastly I love the interconnectedness I get with this thing. So post one here we are!

I think apple makes good products its really there fan boys and girls that need to be shot. That said there is no doubt that apple has pushed the market to come up with new ideas to keep up it wouldn't of otherwise. That said I really don't want or need and I phone my cell has a phone book and makes calls thats all I really need. Sometimes less is more.

have fun dropping into WW2 with your Iphone
