Iphone @ MindSay

I once had a dream like ....way before iPhones that my original 40GB iPod rang and I answered it like it was a telephone. I thought it would be cool if they ever invented this contraption, but didn't see any point and wrote it off as a strange dream.

When the iPhone came out, I wrote it off, because it seemed overpriced.

But now that the new iPhone is coming out JULY 11TH!!!! I am sort of excited.

I mean I like going to the theater for two hours, coming back and checking my email? Won't it be a distraction if I'm continually able to check my email, checking it every two seconds? I think I may go blind that way.

As it is, I have a pre-paid service right now. My minutes probably won't run out until the end of the year which gives me plenty of time to think. But it IS tempting.  I probably wouldn't use it enough for it to be worth it.

But when I've been out & about and wished I had googled an address before hand? Yes, the new one has GPS or I assume I could always google it.

VERY tempting!

With more information about the iPhone’s features, accessories, and availability.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs said Apple plans to bring the iPhone to Europe in the fourth calendar quarter of 2007, and to Asia in 2008. www.rihey.cc
After more than two years in the making, Jobs Tuesday announced the company’s intention to enter the mobile handset market, unveiling the new Apple iPhone. The iPhone brings together several features of the iPod, digital camera, smart phones and even portable computing to one device, with a widescreen display and an innovative input method. Jobs also mentioned two accessories for the iPhone: stereo headphones with integrated microphone, and a Bluetooth headset that pairs automatically with the iPhone and goes to sleep to preserve battery life. www.rihey.cc
“Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything,” Jobs said.
Featuring a new input technology called “Multi-Touch” the iPhone features only a single physical button, called “home.” You control the phone by sliding a finger across its touch-sensitive 3.5-inch display, which has a resolution of 320-by-480 pixels at 160 pixels-per-inch display.
The iPhone, which runs Mac OS X, has full iTunes integration and can seamlessly sync data with a Mac, PC, or Internet service, including music and videos from iTunes, contacts, calendars, photos, notes, bookmarks and e-mail accounts.www.rihey.cc
The 0.46-inch (11.6-millimeter) thick device weighs 4.8 ounces (135 grams) and sports a 2-megapixel camera, volume control, ring-silent switch, 3.5-millimeter headset/audio jack, SIM tray, “sleep-wake” switch, speaker, microphone, and a 30-pin iPod dock connector. The quad-band GSM (850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, and 1900MHz) + EDGE phone also has 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 capabilities. Jobs noted 3G capabilities will come in the future.
Three smart sensors also help control the iPhone’s behavior. A proximity sensor shuts down the display and touchscreen when the phone is held to the ear. An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts screen brightness to save power. Meanwhile, an accelerometer lets the phone know whether to display in portrait or landscape mode. www.rihey.cc
Despite the phone’s revolutionary features, Jobs claimed that the phone’s strongest feature was its redefinition of how calls are made.
“We want to reinvent the phone,” Jobs said. “What’s the killer app? The killer app is making calls. It’s amazing how hard it is to make calls on phones. We want you to use contacts like never before.”
A Visual Voice-mail feature allows users to skip directly to voice mails they want to hear. An easy-to-use conference call feature lets users connect two calls with one touch of the screen. Text messaging on the iPhone is similar to iChat, with user dialogue encased in bubbles and with familiar iChat sounds, and a touch keyboard appears below for entering text. www.rihey.cc
The iPhone uses its Wi-Fi and EDGE capabilities to automatically connect to the Internet. Internet connectivity includes HTML-capable e-mail that works with any IMAP or POP3 e-mail service. Jobs also announced that Yahoo will offer free push e-mail—similar to the e-mail system on a Blackberry—to all iPhone customers.
Apple also included its Safari web browser, and the phone can use its Internet capabilities to view standard Web pages, rather than WAP versions of pages. Integrated Google Maps functionality lets users look up locations, search for local businesses, and view satellite imagery. The iPhone also supports Dashboard widgets, and Apple announced it will include weather and stock widgets. www.rihey.cc
The iPhone’s photo management features are equally interesting. Its software enables users to use a “pinching” motion to zoom in and out of pictures, and to orient pictures in standard or landscape mode. When playing music, the iPhone can automatically adjust levels up or down as calls come in.

Had a beautiful morning in DC -- did a bit of running around the sites. Took some beautiful pictures and video with my iPhone.

However, I checked my pocket after getting off the DC Metro when I was heading home -- and it was gone. I think I know exactly where on the Metro I left it.

So I called the number.  It was answered by this guy who called himself Tonie. (With an "ie" at the end. He was very specific about that -- and that it wasn't his choice; his parents named him that way.) I told him that he had my iPhone, and he just giggled and said "Yeah, I know. Thanks!" So it's quite likely that I'll never see it again.

Oh well -- It's just a phone, I guess. And they'll probably have something newer and better in the next 6-8 weeks. I'll wait 'til then...

as i type this i am on mt avenel, one of the peaks of the appalachian mountains in bleackdon maryland, a few miles off the potomac river from Frederick.  it was an amazing climb and the crisp, fresh air is wonderful. all the time i was listening to mp3s on my iPhone (the new white stripes album is AWESOME!) and using it as a pedometer to check my speed and distance and also be used as an altimeter.

the EDGE serve from up here is crystal clear, as is the view. i didnt even think of doing this until i actually got my iPhone and realized that there are so many more possibilities to realize than i ever did before.  i hardly even know what im going to do next!

thanks iPhone!

Finally went to bed at 3:00 this morning after exploring every single new feature of the iPhone. Goodness -- is there anything this device can not do?!?

I awoke at 7:30 to the sound of "Icky Thump" by the White Stripes coming out of the built-in speaker.  The screen was flashing with the alarm app. My very own palm-sized alarm clock!   I checked email on the way from the bedroom to the bathroom. With ease.

Because of the ease to sync up with the computer, I have all of my appointments and contacts in the iPhone now. I have to say -- it's shaved off considerable time in my daily routines. Time which I spent listening to music on the iPhone on the treadmill.  It's actually helping me lose weight!

I can't wait to try out Google maps -- live with real-time traffic as I head to the store!
