Ho Ho Holy Smokes This Thing Rocks!


I'm convinced Steve Jobs could run for president and make a respectable showing. Seriously.

Ahh... jolly old St Nick made one last stop straight from the Apple store this afternoon and dropped off a long-awaited iPhone. It's been a difficult stretch and a test of will power since June when this magic box was first made available to the GP. I've left a lot of nose prints on Apple store windows since then as I looked on longingly as others smuggly purchased their shiny new phones inside. Today Santa redeemed me.

And in typical Apple fashion, set-up and activation was a breeze and took only a couple minutes from the comfort of my own chair at home using iTunes. Flawless. In fact, I was even a bit shocked when after only a couple minutes my iPhone debuted it's first ring when I received my inaugural call from my friend, Kandis. Too cool.

In un-typical fashion, actually buying the iPhone at the Apple store was a bit of a hassle. Maybe more on that in a later post, but for now a quick word of advice to anyone out their with aspirations of purchasing an iPhone at the store, too: Don't bother trying to pay cash. You can't. Credit card only. All things considered, though, it was worth the small inconvenience.



Here's cool iPhone use #1 - taking pictures of long forgotten 2 month old chili in the fridge. Kinda looks like a coral reef or something, doesn't it? I've called the local Haz-Mat office... they're coming tomorrow to remove this toxic growth.

iWant...


... an iPhone.

iKnow I don't need it. iKnow it's $600. iKnow I drop my current phone at least twice a day (subliminally wishing it would die so I could replace it). None of these things is the point. It's just so freakin' cool.




Gary had one when I was photographing his family, and he let me play with it for a bit. I called myself with his iPhone... dumb, iKnow. iThink he secretly enjoyed my envy. I can't blame him; that's what guys do... they brag when they have cooler toys than their friends.

As you can see, it also takes amazing pictures for a phone. I smell a justification here - iNeed an iPhone as a backup... you know, in case my camera malfunctions during a session.
