Ode to the iPhone

I recently upgraded to an iPhone. Despite the fact that the workers at the AT&T retail store in La Jolla could be the dumbest people on the planet (thus activation and acquisition of the phone was actually quite a challenge), I am happier than a pig in mud with my new purchase.

The iPhone is incredibly cool for surfing the web, taking pictures and I'm mastering the art of texting and typing on it. For anyone thinking about it, I strongly recommend it. I was a little nervous because I have a Mac book and wanted to be able to use it as my primary work smartphone, so I thought there could be conflict issues. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I put all my music on from my personal Mac computer and can still get work email and have my work calendar update automatically.

The app store is also amazing. There are tons of free applications and others you can pony up and pay $0.99 or $1.99, etc. for. Very exciting and it truly revolutionizes the smartphone. I was a bit nervous about giving up the Blackberry Curve but have been very satisfied with the decision.

Here is a short ode I put together, inspired by my new iPhone:

I love iPods, my iPhone, Apple and everything Mac,
I do often wonder why Steve Jobs always wears black,
He should be wearning something more exciting,
Because his Apple products are all so inviting,
Once you switch to Mac, you'll never go back,
And you'll find your checkbook all out of whack,
Because you can't stop buying Apple products.
