I’m not really one to post about stuff. But I found myself waiting in line for 2.5 hours Sunday waiting on the “IPhone 2.0″. Now I didn’t jump on the first and second batches that came out. Because lets face it 400-600 bucks for an IPod with a phone in it. Could it be worth it? Almost a year later Apple released a development kit for companies and users to develop software for there device. Ahh there could be something to this IPhone. Apple developed its own apps for this phone but let’s face it. All the great minds in the world don’t all work at Apple. The thing that really grabbed my attention was syncing of calendars to computers remotely and on the fly. Meaning a potential client could call me ask me if I’m available on a date and I could give them answer on the spot. Sure phones could do this before. But me having to plug my computer in every night to update my calendar just wasn’t going to work for me. This was just the beginning. When I began working at Myxer in August of 2007 Myk the CEO and I had a great conversation. He spoke of the cell phone being the most personal item you could own. And being that its with within an arms grasp at all times. There probably isn’t anything we are closer to then maybe a piece of jewelry. He spoke of how phones would essentially become computers and everything would be done on them. Well he was right. This phone can do everything and it hasn’t even scratched the surface of it’s potential yet. Apple is going to force the rest of the cell phone manufacturers and carriers to open up there networks and give people what they want. Freedom to customize and personalize there device the way they want to. We the consumers have been bullied by them to long. They decide what we can have on our phones and how much it should cost. So I say to T-Mobile, “So long. I was with you for 7 years having bills that ranged from 75-400 bucks and when my phone broke and I needed a replacement. You wanted me to pay 200 bucks for an obsolete piece of crap. Good Luck with your endeavors. I’ll be hanging with Apple and ATT in the almost “Free World”.”

Just watch your bills to make sure ATT doesn’t overcharge you for random isht. That video is awesome.
Also, they are some nifty plug-ins for wordpress to show an iphone version of your site.
Sell it baby! So you say you like it? Been telling you for a year to get one. Why dont you tell us how you REALLY feel about the iPhone?
