iWhat?

iPhone.  It does everything except bake cookies.  And they’re probably working on that.  But what practical use could I find for it?  If I buy an iPhone what other object that currently occupies space in my house/pocket/purse/car/etc. can I get rid of?  I get it – it does

  • Internet
  • phone
  • pictures
  • video
  • music

Can I use it to write documents?  Keep track of my finances?  Record cassette tapes and digitize them?  Can I have it record programs from my TiVo?  Or is it just another gadget someone put together so that I have more to do and less time to myself to focus on that which is important to me? 

I get the feeling that the iPhone is just another iProduct being created on the (highly successful) tails of the iPod and geared to all the kids that want/need (how sad is it that some kids really do need these things to feel good about themselves) the latest iProduct from Mac to feel good.  When they develop a phone that can do more than make a call well, then I will consider dropping one of my household appliances to replace it with the new phone.  Until then, there’s no need.

  1. Way to go Jen. You hit it right on the head. I wonder what else I could spend $600 to $800 on and actually make my life better?
