iPhone – 1 Device for many things
Back in 2007 I attended the Fall VON conference. At the opening Keynote, Jeff Pulver spoke about the time when you’d have 1 device for everything. I believe that time is now!
The iPhone is truly a remarkable piece of hardware. You can:
- make and receive phone calls
- send and receive SMS messages
- instant message other people using BeeJiveIM, Trilian or other apps
- access your email
- write blog posts
- play games
- take pictures
- record videos
- track where your packages are
- read books using the Kindle, Stanza, Barnes & Noble or other apps
- browse the web
- check stocks
- broadcast live on uStream
- order on Amazon or other shopping sites
- watch movies
- listen to music or audiobooks
- navigate yourself around the world using Google Maps, TomTom, or other apps
- check your stocks
- read the news
- flashlight
- calculate tips
- dictionary
- the list goes on…
There are so many things the iPhone can do. What I wrote down was only a glimpse of it’s power. I really have no need for some of the devices I use to carry with me. It’s not a perfect device, but it’s amazing how far it’s come from the 1st iPhone that was announced to the 3Gs.
I was playing the game Driver last night and realized one thing-I’m playing a PSOne game on a device that’s smaller and faster than what the game was originally written for. Gameloft improved the graphics when they ported it over, but it still feels the same.
I look forward to the future and can’t wait to see where the iPhone and other mobile devices take us!
Completed my first wedding video!
I was asked to make a video for a wedding of someone I know. I gladly accepted it because I love doing video. The process was a long one, but I finally finished it! Here’s my quick rundown of how it went.

Rainy Days
I never like rainy days. You get up and it still feels early and everything is just so dreary. The only time something cool happens on a rainy day is when there is a dramatic event on a TV show or a movie and the rain adds to the ambience. I can just imagine going outside my office building right now and seeing some event from a TV show happen in the parking lot. Too bad life’s not like the movies sometimes, but there are times I don’t want to have what happens in movies also happen in life. Who wants a giant meatball to take out their city?
