Individual Blog Post #2

The Unbelievably Advanced iPhone

For this blog, I would just like to rant and rave a little bit about the iPhone. First of all, lets get things straight here. I am not a very technologically savvy person. I just switched my laptop computer from a PC to a Mac. I was hesitant at first because I never could figure out how to work a Mac. It turns out that these devices are not too tough to handle -- other than the occasional, "Where did I save that?" or, "What the hell is the shortcut for select all?" But enough about me. Lets talk about how dam unbelievable the iPhone truly is. Not only was it the first phone made by apple (which means it's gonna be cool) but it has so many cool and handy applications. Some of them are truly amazing.

Just the other day my girlfriend told me about a new application for her iPhone. She explained to me that for $30 she bought an application that allowed her to pull up exactly what is on her laptop onto her iPhone. This means that if she forgot to print her English paper and doesn't have her computer with her that she can pull up her saved documents, and print them out through Microsoft word. How amazing is that? If you don't understand what I mean, don't worry I had trouble grasping it at first too. Basically, you are able to see on your phone exactly what is on your computer at home or wherever it may be. You do not have to be in short distance for it to work. This is like having a computer in your phone. Hell, its not like having one, it is having one!

If this application isn't enough, I heard that they are coming out with new applications in the near future that allow you to do things like check for diabetes and check blood pressure. Crazy right? This isn't too mention the applications that allow you to play games wireless against your friends across the country.

So although I'm not the most technological savvy person in the world, I am smart enough to realize that this phone is taking the world by storm.

I just got an iPhone about a month ago, and I totally agree. Just being able to easily sync my address book and calendar is a treat. And I like being able to play Sudoku on it when I'm on the train.

Now that school is almost over, I'm looking forward to getting some more apps.
