Mine's the 2nd (3g) version, and perhaps not so oddly enough, I mostly use it to browse the web while sitting in the server room waiting for servers to reboot or update or malfunction in whatever ways various vendors have coded their software to malfunction; so I guess essentially I use it more for entertainment. Just as well, since the company hasnt subsidized me or whatever, then its not any part of the company so I should have no obligation to use it for company purposes. But really, sitting in front of a malfunctioning server in a rack in a noisy server room, what else are you gonna do? Its Safari browser renders every page perfectly; Slashdot, Engadget, Gizmodo, TGDaily, Toms Hardware, etc etc etc. Really makes server maintenance not so painful. I really look at the iPhone as just the perfect mobile web browser, after playing with IE and Opera on WM. the iPod and Google GPS stuff is a nice addon :)
