iPhone Update

I've just paid for my second month of iPhone service, and I never thought I'd say this of Rogers, but I couldn't be happier. For a third of what I was paying for my Blackberry, I have a LOAD of better functionality. Rumour has it that RIM is working on a competing product for this fall, but I'm loving my iPhone so far, and will for the next 3 years ;-)

My favourite apps? The built-in apps are all useful: Phone, GPS, camera, internet interface (Safari), and of course the iPod (music and video). Facebook has been really useful, as messages come through as text, and Twitterific works well too for "mini-blogging". Shazam allows you to identify any recorded song. Just hold it out so the mic can pick up the sound, and seconds later you know the song and artist and can download it through iTunes. Cowbell, Tiny Violin, BubbleWrap, iPint and Dice are favourites with the kids.

I use the new Kicker speaker system for making presentations (I can plug my laptop into it) and can definitely recommend it for sound quality and volume. Blows away the competition (Bose and Harman Kardon) in my opinion.
