How’s that iPhone of your’s doing?!
It’s finally here, the new must have gadget for the aspiring geek, the 3g iPhone. That’s if you can get one. The lines here in Chicago at both the Apple store and the AT&T store down the block have been quite long. I figured they would have disapated a bit by now but I guess not.
Of course all this hoopla hasn’t gone without its share of problems. The Apple store site has been down at times (or at least unresponsive), the At&T store site has been down at times, and those of you with first generation iPhones who tried to upgrade the “official way” have beeen lucky to get through the entire upgrade process without it stalling and essentially stoping your iPhone from making calls over the phone network. But like all things Apple I’m sure this will pass and it will be on the cover of every magazine and newspaper for the next few weeks of not months.
I myself will be getting one, but not just yet. I have a few months left on my Verizon account and I want to sit back and let the dust settle a little on the iPhone apps side. There are over 500 of those apps and some look really interesting. Here are a few that caught my eye:
Truphone - VOIP for your iPhone over WIFI (this sounds great for those of us who travel!)
Remote - Remote control for your iTUnes Library (s)
Evernote - complete life capture software for your iPhone
Jott - converts your voice mail into text, messages, and emails
Yelp - Location aware software for the traveler
Where - the most sofisticated location aware software for your iPhone
Those were all from the lifehacker article found here. Take a look, there list is far longer than mine, as this was just the few that I have my eye on for now.
Ok, go and enjoy the day for me kids. See ya’
All things iPhone …
The new iPhone is finally out today and I think I am going to get one. I’m certainly not one of those who would camp out for the damned thing, but I do admit being drawn to it by my geeky inner self.
So with that thought I went to log into my Verizon wireless account and see how long I really have left on my plan. Funny thing is I can’t get any page in their “My Verizon” family of sites to even pull up. Apparently I am not the only one wanting out. Maybe I’ll just wait for all the crazy kids to get one first and try this next week …
Wow, apple.com doesn’t even pull up … there go those crazy kids again!
Until then I’m going to be assembling a good list of places to go for information regarding all things iPhone. I figure this will give me something to do and might even educate me a little.
