i got hold of an iphone the other day. sooo nice.

its one of those gadgets that shows it’s different thinking from a different direction. its like a palm pilot with a cell phone feature added but with lots of advanced hardware and software bling.

melvin, a long-time friend of ours flew in for the holidays and just met up with him along with several friends. he brings out his iphone but no one in the group seems to notice. sorry melvin. anyway, he did mention that he didn’t give it much thought either when he was first handed the phone. a phone is a phone. no biggie.

but once he started using the thing then the wow started.

and it really is true. it looks like a rectangular shiny black thing that will be mistaken for an electronic organizer with a picture of a half-eaten fruit at the back.

the fun starts when you turn it on.

you just have to experience using the thing to really appreciate it. even just browsing its website doesn’t do it justice — unless you have a touch screen and … well, web technology is not there yet.

its an example of how hardware and software is made to work together to provide a user with a more intuitive and easier way of using something.

melvin, i think, made our group of friends seriously think of getting one in the future. i know nikki, the daughter of one of our friends, wants one. you can see it in her eyes. don is getting one soon and maybe gemma as well. cherry wants one also.

as for me… well… maybe when i can afford it.

oh. and melvin, you’re a certified gadget freak.
