Ok, so while this has absolutely nothing to do with Solidworks, I figured it's fun to take a break from all seriousness once in a while. So my Treo 700 was starting to get kind of boring, and I wanted something new. Being someone that really likes gadgets, the iPhone has interested me since it came out. Friday afternoon a vendor showed up and she had one. So after playing with it for about 10 minutes, I decided I had to have one! Upon getting home, I discovered I could get one, change carriers and plans, and save about $40 a month on just the service!
Off I went to the AT&T store and picked one up. After getting it home and marveling at the nice packaging, I was up and running on it in about 10 minutes. Now for the most part Apple doesn't really invent anything spectacular, they just take the cumbersome, and make it easy to use. The iPod wasn't the first MP3 player, but it was the most simple to use. The iPhone carries on the tradition. And a cell phone without buttons? Now thats Absurdly Ideal! (notice the Solidworks reference there?)
Overall the phone is a nice gadget. Simple to use, and fun to play with. This meant that I ended up spending most of my weekend browsing the tons of sites about how to mod and upgrade it. So for now just another gadget to add to the collection!
