My sister really wanted an iPhone as well (even though she in general can't stand Apple products, go figure) and ended up getting a Samsung knock off, which is only about a spoonful of cool beans compared to the iPhones piping hot pot. Just start counting down my man, two years isn't that long to wait really. Lori: It has helped me immeasurably. I love being able to think of something, take out the phone, make a note, and have it waiting for me when I get back upstairs. Trina: I feel so much better it's not even funny. Okay well a little funny, but mostly awesome. Laurie: I dreamed for two and a half years, now I can't stop touching it! Hayden: I would never write from the iPhone, at least not yet, but it's great for grabbing email and taking notes. The entire computer experience will one day (shortly) fit into our pockets, I've no doubt. If you want to see something that might make you swallow your tongue, check out the TED talk about "the Sixth Sense." Mind blowing, that. Stephanie: I think I may need to set some of those boundaries myself! I pet mine a bit too much. : > ) Tara: What would be utter madness is pretending I have to go to the bathroom when I don't, just to steal an extra minute or two with my precious… not that I would ever do that or anything. Sal: A second brain for sure… On another note - dude, why would you erase your archives. I agree with Chase, it's cool to start anew, but you've got to celebrate the past as well.

It really does work so well, and it's logical and dare I say it.... EASY! I would say the biggest problem with it is that it is difficult to pull yourself away from it, and as a result, my husband is a bit jealous of my iPhone. We've had to put boundaries on how often I use it since it really is easy to become a very rude zombie staring it the pretty screen. .-= Stephanie´s last blog ..<a href="http://sadieangelica.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-was-thinking-about-getting-tutu.html" rel="nofollow">I was thinking about getting a tutu...</a> =-.
