It’s been about 2 weeks since my iphone has arrived and I have yet to morph into Gollum, so I guess I’m doing OK. Having the world at my fingertips is a powerful feeling, but I’ve managed to control the temptation of being completely consumed by this thing. My wife, however, needs to be closely monitored as the power of the iphone is proving to be a great burden on her.
I have to admit, this phone is just about the coolest piece of technology I have ever owned, and if Frodo owned one he could have easily found his way to Mount Doom with the GPS in the Maps application. He could have also made his burden lighter by downloading the Universalis application. It’s a bit expensive, but is also the equivalent of 5,000 pages of text. Most importantly it would have kept the whole journey in perspective.
I can post comments with it too.
