 Device of the Century - The Winner is: Apple iPhone
The Apple iPhone is by far the quintessential example of applying technology to
enhance your everyday life experience. This single sexy device that slips into
your pocket does so much, but here’s a short list to start.
The iPhone:
 makes crystal clear phone calls
uses my vehicle as a hands free kit (via Blue tooth)
maintains a single unified contacts list
send and receives text messages to my kids
accesses the NATIVE Internet via browser
plays any music from my iTunes music library
plays any movie from my iTunes movie library
remote controls playback & volume of music
shows me business statistics from my office (native)
gives me full time access to all email accounts – for me this means our
corporate Exchange server and my Yahoo account without the archaic ‘syncing’ process
provides a quick calculator and switches to scientific mode if needed
(this may sound insignificant, but watch how many people in your office reach
for a calculator, start up windows calc, or excel)
shows me interactive gps-driven maps and directions
fully integrates into Google maps with streetview
tells me what is around me – restaurants, gas, hospitals, movies…
tells me the name of the song playing on the radio
entertains my children on long trips in the car
wakes me up in the morning
provides a flashlight at night
gives me instant stock information
gives me instant weather information
lets me read the news anytime I want
gives me access to my bank account and lets me check balances, pay bills, etc.
reminds me when I have a pending appointment
prints a picture that I just took directly to my network printer
set a timer for the cake in the oven
eliminates carrying my laptop in most instances
Did I mention that it fits in my pocket?
I am not a mac-lover, but Apple continues to prove that their technical integration
skills are the best. The iPhone continues to rock my world with cool technology that
actually helps life happen – in the office, on the road, at home and everywhere else.
