iPhone...just another gadget?


Time is Money, an old say that is plain logical or productive to anyone who doesn't like to waste time with fullish stuff. Technology have changed businesses world wide and improved peoples lives. It facilitated and it has been for a long time, but when will it stop?

Our era is addicted to these gadgets, computers, tvs, phones, cameras...we are wired 24/7.
Technology has invaded our lives at work, at leasure, at home and the manufactures won't stop creating theses items that attract our attention.
Why do we buy them? Is it really the convenience or are we so consumed with the desire to possess the latest product on the market? Does anyone stop to think if it is really necessary to sleep over outside a store to buy the Phone and show off before friends? How materialistic can we get?

For a couple of months the iPhone has been exposed on TV with a campaign that probably lasts no more than a minute. It called to my attention the simple fact that there is internet access, mp3 player, and camera/phone all in one. Sounds great, right? Maybe not that great!

I googled a few reviews on the item and to my surprise it is not as pretty as it sounds.
The link is from Fox News, and I believe that if a review is posted on the news it's because it is supposed to be news. According to this article the iPhone is has a great features with easy to follow browser. The mp3 player is just your regular iPod and it just works fine in conjunction with internet browser. The camera has no surprises! It doesn’t bring anything eye catching, but it’s fine as long as it works. Now for my surprise the phone doesn’t meet expectations. Maybe i should just continue to be Pod or iWeb, because the phone is really not that great. The phone service was compared to Blackberry, that has been around for maybe a year, and for each 3 calls iPhone completed 1, while Blackberry connected all of them.
