Apple’s “Gadget of the Year”

I finally did it. I sold my Blackberry Curve and made the upgrade to the Iphone. I have had it for about two weeks. I am impressed and yet see some room for improvement. The outer design is sleek and the epitome of apple’s elegance. The menu is straight forward. If I to credit to a principal, “keep it simple stupid”, applies here. The wireless is cool if you decide not to opt for a data plan. However, you can get a 16 GB touch which is the iphone without the phone. I know the one thing I miss from my blackberry is the passwords application. Now apple promotes all the web based apps for it’s iphone. The last thing I would want is to upload my accounts and passwords to a web based company were it can be hacked or copied by a disgruntled employee.  Hopefully they will add something we can use and password protect along with 3G support.

I bought the DLO leather pouches. One in black and one in brown and I love them. I had to get a new output cable for my car. The headphone jack is much smaller than you have with an Ipod. I have a really nice set of Bose OE headphones. I had to get an adapter for them.  I kept the apple headphones and picked up a send-station pouch to keep them in.  Just in case I don’t want to lug around my Bose.

Overall I am impressed. I like the phone. The blue-tooth with my headset is sporadic. I also get a lot of browser crashing in Safari and Ipod interface. Although other than that no other complaints. If you decide to wait the rumor is June 2008 for the new release of what comes next. In the meantime I suggest opening up the Phone so we can buy or acquire apps and truly implement it into our life’s to make it the digital necessity of the decade.
