The iPhone

The iPhone!
We've been studying about the novel new (to us) device for months. A few weeks ago we were in the Apple store in Memphis and the bug bit even harder. We even stopped by an AT&T store on the way home and checked to see if they still had some of the original iPhones in stock (the cheaper ones).
It took another week or so before we finally made the decision.
We consulted with our son who has one and he made the recommendation we forgo the $69 extended warranty and said all we needed was the vehicle charger. With his recommendations we headed off to the store and was about to close the deal when the wife sees a sign that says: Special with iPhone purchase. Free Case.
She should have stayed in the truck. The "free" case cost us an additional $108 - plus tax.
But the bottom line is this . . . the iPhone is worth the money!
It's almost scary what it will do. Download a free application (called app for short) and you can find anything you want - gas, food, lodging, hospitals . . . anything.
And then it will guide you from your location to the location you want to go.
There are also the fun things. We found one called The Moron Test. (Maybe not politically correct, but what the heck . . . . it's still fun.
The game gives simple instructions for you to follow, i.e., crack the eggs from largest to smallest. Simple, right?
Well, after an hour we have learned that "you are not much more than a basic mammal."
As with anything Apple does, every detail is covered right down to the padded box.
Bill Gates, eat your hear out!
