My New iPhone

TO: All family members...

FROM: The Doctor.

RE: iPhone..

At your convenience, please rise, raise your hands in the air and wave them toward me while bowing and hailing "we are not worthy of your gadgetness, oh great one." Then, feel free to sit down and read the rest of this post.

Dateline: Saturday, October 6, 2007. I was working on a lego skyscraper with the kids when i was informed that I was to be the co host f a surprise party for my 40th birthday.

After some cake and coffee, my dad and Janice gave me a small bag with a smaller box inside. It was slightly heavy (so I knew it wasn't clothes!). I began to open the box and i saw the 8GB symbol on the side and thought, "Cool, a new ipod", but after I took a little more paper off, I saw the iPhone logo and about passed out. A new iPhone, holy crap.

Let me tell you guys something. Ed and I often talk about inventions and how there hasn't been anything developed lately that really packs a punch and is useful, innovative and best of all is just damn cool. And then came the iPhone.

I have a cell phone, digital camera, internet, email, ipod music and ipod video player stuck to my hip. What more can a man ask for (as far as gadgetry is concerned)? I can watch movies, youtube videos, browse the full (non mobile) internet, play music, make calls, send and receive email...All while sitting in the luxury of my own bathroom. Yes.... Add a couple of fun buttons like instant weather and radar, stock prices and google maps and traffic and I'll tell ya, I'm in high heaven.

If you can't get hold of me, I'm probably textichatphonemailabrowsing.
