Okay, I'll play the other side. My phone is my everything (obviously except payment system)
I eliminated carrying three or four devices for my iPhone. It's my phone, my mp3 player, my movie player, my gps device, my email system, my note taking system, my calendar, my to do list, etc I can go anywhere and do anything with my iPhone, even do light work if needed. Heck, with my iPad and iPhone together, I can rule the world. Muhahahaha. Okay, just kidding. But it does help me out a lot. Oh yeah, and I can make a phone call on it too. -- Sent from my iPad Please excuse the brevity On May 6, 2011, at 11:38 PM, der Mouse <[email protected]> wrote: >>> Why not just grow up and get an android ? >> Because smartphones should really be called uglyphones? > >> [...] > > Thank you for pointing out how naked the emperor is.[%] > > You do things with your phone that would stand my hair on end, but your > basic point is one I agree with.
