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!
