i phone

This is what has been occupying my time for the last few weeks. A shiny new iphone. This is the most amazing gadget I have ever owned. It beets my PDA for on the go info and ease of use and it seems to synch effortlessly with my laptop unlike the PDA via windows mobile which regularly needs to be sorted out . I hardly ever use the phone itself I am just hooked on the apps at the moment - from Facebook to Skype; Tweetie to Trailguru; Wifi finder to Wikipanion; Docs to go to Audioboo; GPS to Stanza - they are all great fun, very useful, and of course time consumers . Don't remember what to do in an emergency? check the first aid app. There is amazing creativity out there in the app creator world - some of it a bit hard to understand - a magic toothbrush timer? a snow globe you can shake? I can do useful things like connect to the Blackboard learning site for my institute - though it is not always reliable.
The iphone is really a clever computer and even the minature qwerty touch pad is easy to use once you get used to it. Oh yes - the ipod is great too and I have an worldwide internet radio app to keep in touch with what is going on in the world - if I ever had the time!.
