The iPhone is a whole lot of fun! I have been having to tear myself away from it, there is just so much you can do with it! From just playing games to learning something new to exploration of the world from your seat. Speaking of games there are a lot to choose from. I have been on the lookout for a good rpg, a racing and a strategy game. Real racing looks like a great contender for a racing game, but I am also checking out Ferrari GT. I have no idea yet about what would be a good role playing game. I have been looking and seen a few stand outs, even downloaded a couple of the lite versions of some apps, but haven’t found anything to grab me. I saw that the strategy game Civ revolutions is on the iPhone, but I want something more like Europa Universalis if it exists on the iPhone yet.
Learning something on the iPhone is really easy as well. There are so many apps to learn some new skill or refresh an old one. I have been looking at some of the language apps available and also some of the math ones. So far the math apps haven’t been quite what I was looking for, but several of the language3 apps have been pretty good. I haven’t really had a chance to check into any specific app yet, so I can’t make any recommendations yet. However, once I get a minute or two to actually play with the apps I have been and am downloading I will let everyone know what I think is best, although that might be awhile. I would put that in my to do app, but I am still trying to decide on one of those too.

I decided to stick with the guys or gals I am currently with as far as telecoms companies. Not for any particular reason other than it is easy and as you know if you read the post before I tend towards lazy. I blame my parents. (Let’s not tell them that though, ok). Anyway, it made sense as I am happy with who I am with as far as my personal lines, and I have been with them for several years so it seems like a good idea to just go with them for a business line as well. At least I know for sure how they do business.
I still like cell phones better even than the cordless home ones. I have been looking at a couple, like Panasonic KX phones but nothing that would change my mind. Now if they had a home phone that was say like Star Trek type where it almost comes out of thin air anywhere in your house, I could probably go for that. Otherwise to be honest I don’t think I see the point. At least not for me, but I am sure that there are a lot of people and businesses out there that would be happy to have the home phones, cordless or otherwise. I think the biggest advantage of having a home phone would be to have it at home and not to be there to answer it. Just let your machine get it, of course, an even better strategy would be to have a home phone and not to have an answering machine or service. Then you could just say, “uh, no, sorry, didn’t get your call. Did you leave a message? Oh, yeah, forgot.” Might be fun, though most would ask why you don’t just forward your calls, but you could plead phone ignorance. I am over that point myself, anymore I just don’t answer and if somebody ask I tend to just tell them why.

I have been keeping up with most iPhone stuff cause I am fairly interested in getting one. I was going to get one for a business line but don’t think I would really use more than about twenty percent of its capabilities. I have looked at telephones and cordless phones but don’t find them to be as convenient. So, for work it will be a regular cell, most likely as cheap as I can get. Probably just go with the free ones most phone companies offer, as I don’t think I really would need much more than that. There might be a few features I would need for a business line, but about the only one I can think of off the top of my head is an answering machine or service. I have considered call logging but that doesn’t make too much sense for what I want to use the phone for.
However, I am still very interested in picking up the new iPhone 3GS soon as I get my new job bringing in some more cash. I heard, recently, that they are having problems with overheating on the phones, though. That kind of sucks. I don’t think apple has really said anything about it yet. At least nothing really official. There are some other neat things I have come across for the phone also. There is now an application for getting Sirius/xm radio on your phone, you can download books from Amazon and a couple of other major bookstores and you can now take video with the new phone. Plus you can edit it and it has the landscape keyboard in most of its applications now. That is a great thing! If you haven’t used it, you should give it a try. I was using my friends just earlier after trying to hold a text conversation on my currently phone and it was like somebody reaching down and handing you a glass of water in the middle of the desert. Huge difference when I was texting. Huge. Someday, right. Ah, well going to go take a look and see if there is anything new in apps for the phone.
