Spending entirely too much time on the Internet

Only From My Cold Dead Hands…

By

…will you get my iPhone away from me. I’ve been using it for a couple weeks now and I’ve come to the conclusion that I can’t live without it. Of course, you might be asking, “but Jon, you lived without it before.” That is true, but the emotional attachment I’ve made to this little communication/entertainment device would be too devastating if it was taken away from me.

Seriously though, this gadget is really quite awesome. I can watch TV shows, documentaries and movies whenever I want. It’s an excellent audio player with a kick ass UI. And I’ve even taken up text messaging, because the keyboard and the SMS app is so easy and fun to use.

For those of you who would chastise me for my love of metal and silicon, all I can say is that at least I’ll answer your call now — and might even reply to your voicemail. My last phone was a complete dog. The battery lasted about 1 day (even with a new battery installed) and it hardly ever notified me of new voicemail messages. This battery can last over a week and comes with visual voicemail — which makes the likelihood that I’ll listen to your message much, much greater.
