You’ve probably heard more than enough about the iPhone already - it’s impossible to read the paper or watch TV without the hype machine making an appearance. I gotta say, though, that it is the single coolest device I have ever seen. It’s like having a computer with me all the time - nirvana to a geek like me. It has nearly limitless uses: Email - it notifies me whenever I get a new message; Web browsing - amazingly easy to use; Music - it’s a better iPod than my iPod; Sports - I can check on the Sox in real time, with highlights; Video - I can record House on my iMac and automatically rip it to play on the iPhone; GPS - I’ve used it in the car to find a meeting spot; and I even used it to tune my guitar - sadly, it can’t help me play decently. And it gets better every day. New applications (apps) arrive on the iTunes App Store daily, tempting me to part with my hard-earned (ahem) dough. Fortunately, some apps are free. I've already gone through Mahjong and Sudoku addictions and am now hooked on a puzzle/RPG game. I have downloaded useful apps too - an Italian language guide, a unit converter, a movie theater app, and a couple of ebooks. This thing does so much it’s unreal. And oh yeah, it’s also an excellent phone.
