reflections on the iPhone from a user

NOTE: I asked one of my best mates to write a review on the iPhone - he’s been using one for about two weeks now, and it’ll be at least a year before it’s avail. up here in Canada, so I asked him to blurb about it.  here’s his spiel.

Task after task, function after function, life starts to get a little easier. When you have nearly unlimited knowledge at your finger tips, from the pocket of your pants, how can you not start to live life better? I’m amazed at how much I use and can use more than half the functions of my iPhone, all day long, (roughly 5 hours of my 18 hour day, since my last full charge.)
But its not all the functions that make my iPhone near the top of my list for greatest purchases ever, its how easy it has been to use them. Thousands of products have been doing the same tasks for years creating the mindset that everyone has regarding technology, wait, it will get cheaper, the first generation will have glitches, man, wouldn’t it be cool if it did this.
Up til now. Never has any interface made using technology fun, save the Wii. Because we’ve been tied to to a stylus, a mouse and a screen we can’t make work like or minds want them to.  Everytime I hand someone my phone, I barely have to tell them anything, and they just get big eyes and say wow. Its just easy, and intuitive, not because you understand computers, but because Apple paid attention to the mind, not convention. Everyone has gadgets that do things just fine, no real complaints, Apple perfected what has been wrong with technology ever since profit trumped creativity and ingenuity. The iPhone not only changes the playing field, it changes people and shifts their paradigm to demand a user interface and device that raises both eyebrows, not just one.
