iPhone: a misnomer

Little kids sometimes wonder how traffic lights change, what makes the toast pop up, how the money gets out of the ATM… they wonder if a little person lives inside these things. Sadly, the answer is no. But, someone may live inside the iPhone: your personal assistant. By nature of design and graceful interaction, the iPhone does everything you want (the way you want), and nothing you don’t want. If all things in life could be so easy.

Users of Macmail, the Address book, and iCal -- all of which match up with the info you have on your desktop computer -- have a mobile assistant who knows their every move. Next time you venture out for a meeting in a town you do not know well, your iPhone will lead you to your destination. Don’t think of it as a cell phone (especially if you hate cell phones). The iPhone is to the cellphone what Speilberg is to movies.

There is no shortage of praise for the iPhone, sure. But when asked will it really make a difference, the answer is “absolutely”.

Thanks for the experience info. I'd consider switching if:

o They went with a much faster data technology - don't know the name, but Blackberry, Verizon, etc. have it ("3G"?)o There's support for tasks, such as those from iCal.
