Pick of the week: My iPhone
Posted on Fri, 14 Aug 2009 in Pick of the week
This weeks pick is late,
so late that it is actually a pick for both this week and last
week. As you might have guessed from the picture it's my iPhone.
While on vacation in
northern Jylland
myMacBook Pro died :-(. So for
the past 2 weeks my iPhone has been my primary "computer" for
Instant Messaging, Twitter, Email, Web browsing and all that stuff
that I usually do when I am online. I have previously [intlink
id="271" type="post"]written[/intlink] about using the iPhone as a
laptop replacement when going to conferences, but this is different
- this is everyday and for everything. The iPhone actually did
quite well when you think of its relative small size and small
keyboard ((I find that the keyboard on the iPhone is no better or
worse than any physical keyboard of the same size. You just need to
get used to it. - Actually I find it a little better ;-) )). For
most tasks I can say "There is an app for that", I even
upgraded this
website using nothing but my iPhone. The only task I really missed
my MacBook Pro was for
programming, so my secret project is a
bit behind schedule. Oh, and I did miss out ((I have ordered a 32
GiB iPhone 3GS - Now I'm just waiting...)) on the online launch
sale for the iPhone 3GS, but I think this was mostly due to the
fact that 3.dk didn't scale under the
pressure of the danish iPhone fans desperate to get a proper
carrier with a 3G network that actually works. One thing you have
to remember though, is to always bring your charger and your USB
cable as there will be some days where you'll drain the battery and
that little extra juice ((A couple of months ago I ordered a Juice
Pack Air from juicepack.co.uk but I
have still haven't received anything from them - quite
frustrating...)) you can get from a quick charge here and there is
a lifesaver.
If
you thought that I was attached to my iPhone before the "Jylland
incident", think again - that attachment has been taken to a whole
new level...
My precious...
