iPhone, How do I Love Thee? Let Me Count the Ways...

I love gadgets.  Love, love, love them. If it's electronic, I want it.  A year ago I got an iPhone 3G and I haven't been without it since.  Look at all it can do:

- Receive calls.  Yes, this is a no-brainer, but hey, it comes in handy.
- Play games.  I have things on here that not only entertain me (Scrabble), but also entertain my 8-year-old (Tap Tap Revent) and my 6-year-old (Scoops).  Truly a lifesaver in the doctor's office.
- Calculator.  I am a math major, but that doesn't mean I can add.
- Calendar. This is my life force. If I didn't have my calendar to tell me where I to go and be, I'd be lost
- Level.  Beleive it or not, I have used the level quite a bit!  More often to prove bets, though.  (Dear, that washingmachine is NOT level.)
- Flashlight. I work part-time as an IT Network Technician.  While crawling under desks pulling wires, hooking up computers, and finding M&M's (circa 1987) the flashlight app comes in very handy.
- GPS.  I get lost. A lot. No sense of direction. Ever.
- Web.  I mostly use this to research trivia. And read blogs. And get ferry schedules.
- Text messaging.  I think I put a lot of teenagers to shame on my text messaging frequency.
- Time keeper.  I use my phone to keep track of how many hours I work in the week.  It's got a timer and everything.  Love it.
- Voice Recorder.  You can't believe how long a 6-year-old will listen to herself sing.

I'm sure there is more, but let's just say that when I tell my husband I love my iPhone, and he responds, "Why don't you marry it?" I have to think a little bit...

I forgt about the lighter!

 What amazes me was that my old phone was never a "family asset". But now, everybody refers to it as "The iPhone", not "Mom's phone", or "Mom's iPhone".  They don't even ask permission anymore -- it just disappears...  I may need to Lojack it soon.  :-)

I'd marry my iPhone. In fact, I think I already have...particularly now that I have the 3gs.

I don't have Scoops. Must try Scoops. (Jelly Car is what keeps my 10 year old busy, and also my 25 year old son in law.) Try DoodleKids also. (and the zippo app allowed us to teach kids about concert going etiquette and the holding up a lighter thing. Now any time we are at a show or we see some musician performing on TV, they want to hold up my iPhone with the Zippo on. It's amusing.)
