iPhone Takes Over The World

I recently got an opportunity to switch from my Blackjack II to an iPhone. I wasn’t sure if I would even like the iPhone after reading so many “cons” about it. I write about gadgets and frequently get to use mobile phones before they are out on the market. I don’t have a connection to Apple so the iPhone remained one of those phones I had to read reviews about and form an opinion based on that.

I don’t like to do that. I’m a hands-on type with gadgets. Then, a friend of mine made a fatal mistake. I’ll quote what he said, “I think I’m going to cancel my ATT account and stop using my iPhone. It makes no sense having two accounts.”

That was my chance! I told him that my account was up for an upgrade in February and I was thinking of getting the 16GB iPhone…but I was hesitating because I wasn’t sure if I’d like it. He handed the iPhone over and told me to use it to see if I liked it. Days later he insisted I just keep it since he wasn’t going to renew his ATT account.

So here I sit. An iPhone in hand and countless hours spent in the App store, hacking the phone, unhacking the phone, adding music, taking music off, checking e-mails…and there is even an application that will allow me to blog from the phone.

I’m doomed! But I have a big smile on my face so I’m not too worried. I haven’t missed the Blackjack II yet, either.

And then I read this:

“Lemonade Stand, a remake of the popular Apple II game of the same title, is now available on the iPhone (@ iTunes Store). Everything I know about business I learned from playing Lemonade Stand.”

Further proof that the iPhone will take over the world. (Do you remember that game? I loved it!)
