Sucumbed
So a couple of pints and a bit of seduction in the Apple shop left me with a new iPhone. Oh dear.
There are so, so many reviews and insights into the iPhone that I feel a bit boring going into it. So I’ll just go into ta couple of things that I’ve not seen given that the there is now a certain maturity to the web side of the iPhone.
Firstly the Apple staff really know their shit. Which is a good way to sell. Well done.
Secondly activation was a breeze. I’m already on o2 so I didn’t expect any problems but it was very simple to set up.
Thirdly I have noticed the drop in speed between 3g and the EDGE network that the iPhone uses. But the the iPhone specific web apps are very speedy on EDGE which gives the whole thing a bit of a retro feel. It’s like the days when we used to have to really bear in mind dial up download speeds. With broadband we’re rarely thinking about it but I imagine that it is a major consideration for iPhone apps. Anyway the one I’ll use the most is the one I use for GTD, Remember the Milk. It’s a great app, very well thought out and means I can take my lists on the road with me rather than having to depend on my MacBook.
All in all I’m enjoying it. With all the chat about ebooks just now I did settle down and use my iPhone for an hour so looking over RSS feeds in the iPhone capable Google Reader. It was a joy. And I could listen to music.
I’m a proud owner. Bless.
More as I see fit.

I felt so tempted to get one but sadly I’m on Vodafone and I’m not quite sure I want an iPhone right now. I’m sure it’s not a choice you regret albeit the pints you had before but still…there’s this ‘but’ to the whole idea.
