Late To The i-Party

in Words

It’s as big a leap in technology as I’ve experienced.

Perhaps I’m a little late to the party, but as of a few days ago my tech world has been forever changed.

What is this that you speak of? I hear you think across the interwebs.

iPhone.

It’ll change things. And if it doesn’t, then that’s sad.

The ability to do many tasks remotely. Apps that because of the smallness, the restrictions, the perceptions, actually work better on an iPhone than my pc.

Examples?

I’ve used Facebook more in the last couple of days than ever before. And that’s a big deal. I don’t like Facebook. But the iPhone has caused a deep shift within my patterns of tech discipline.

I discovered a time keeping app which is perfect for my contract work. It keeps tracks of my hours while I work on my laptop.

Even the seamless compact methods of Google use (Email, Reader,Talk) is fast growing on me.

I leave you with some of the photos my 5 year old took this afternoon. Oh, and this post was sent from my little tool of awesomeness (iPhone).

Cool. Agree re comment facebook. Such a cool app and a cleaner interface than web version. When are you going to develop your first app for the iPhone? Maybe you could port your space game? I have an idea for a Life On Mars app. Just touch the icon to hop back to 1973 without the trauma of a car accident and being in a coma. Do you think it’s doable?

Ha ha, awesome idea Steve! There’d probably be some time-related trauma. Maybe dizzy-ness?

I would be developing one right now, except for a little snag. Need to get my hands on a mac :) Will be getting around to it at some stage.

Agree re facebook – app is cleaner than desktop version. Are you going to develop an iPhone app? How about a Life on Mars app. Just touch the icon and hop back to 1973 without the trauma of a car accident and being in a coma. Sounds like a good idea for a story.
