Here is a quick preview of my most recent Twitter application addiction. It’s a GPS aware app for the iPhone.
I picked up my 3G iPhone last Friday. The consumer madness was in full swing at the AT&T store. They had 40 iPhones in stock and about 60 people in line. I snagged the 8 gig model and spent the rest of the day checking out the applications on iPhone. Here are some of my favorites:
Shazam: This music app is [...]
Still up in the air about the 3G iPhone and it’s only a few days away. It’s going to raise my phone bill another $30 a month. I really don’t mind that much, but I have plenty of wi-fi access for net browsing. Maybe I’ll try canceling the 3G data plan after I sign up. I will get 150 more [...]
Despite my constant workouts, push-ups are my Achilles heel. That’s why I started up the One Hundred Push-Ups challenge this week. I just hope my forearms don’t snag like twigs somewhere along the way.
This one is pure, unadulterated vanity. Check out the Kor One water bottle:

Plenty of people are perfectly happy with their in-car GPS systems or even the current capabilities of their GPS enabled phones. There’s no real added value for current GPS owners to switch over to the iPhone specifically based on the hardware.
Apple’s strategic advantage will be in the applications that are created with live tracking GPS in mind. Apple already demoed Loopt.com; an app that tells you your friend’s exact location, recent pictures, little messages and alerts you when they are nearby. The possibilities are so ridiculously intriguing. For instance…
So Steve Jobs and his legion of Apple minions announced the next iPhone for release on July 11th and I’m scratching my head on buying it next month.
The Good:
- The price is reasonable now and within my range; $199 for the 8 gig model. The 2 year contract doesn’t bother me since I’m already with AT&T.
- GPS is cool [...]
Anyone who reads this blog knows I ramble on about Lost or consistently tune into The Office each week. I really don’t spent lots of time on TV besides a few choice series, but there are two shows that snatched my attention in their freshman season this year before the strike.
- Pushing Daisies: My absolute favorite new show of the [...]
