I did it.
I bought an iPhone. And you know what? I love that thing like I’ve never loved a phone before.
I equate this moment in history to the moment I purchased my first Powerbook laptop, or my first iPod. An iMoment. Where suddenly reality just stops as you hold this marvelous piece of technology in your hands and relish in the pleasure of its texture beneath your fingertips. Somewhere between tactile pleasure, functional bliss, and aesthetic beauty lies the ultimate object to satisfy your every need: the iEverything.
Okay so I’m exaggerating.
But right now I’m in love with my iPhone, and there is no denying that during this honeymoon period of our relationship, I will be blind to the many flaws that the iPhone surely has. Reveling instead in the joy of ultimate satisfaction, still I am determined to make sure this technological object acts as a positive technological contribution to my life, enhances efficiency to the max.
iCal. Synced to my lappy. Dropbox synced using the Dropbox iPhone App. Thanks to the iPhone now I can do work on the fly, whenever I have a moment to kill. My iPod conveniently died right before I got the iPhone and I didn’t bother to buy a new one. Suddenly my camera seems like a hassle to carry around. Its amazing how the iPhone can pack so many functions into such a stylish compact package.
Admittedly, one of the few flaws that I see potentially emerging and becoming more and more evident is the iPhone’s weakest link: ironically, as a phone. But if you put this minor detail aside the iPhone could indeed be seen as the ultimate all-in-one telecommunications device.
