I am a apple whore!

I now know the love of a PDA. It is almost like the soft touch of a woman that I had to pay $650 for. Yes, I have purchased the new apple iPhone. It is now my duty to give my pros and cons to you, the loyal BAMF army. After over two weeks of use, I think I made a good buy and here is why:

1. The Internet and mail options work just as they would on your Mac or PC. Though the Edge network takes a while to load, when it is using a wifi hotspot it loads pretty fast. I am also typing this post with it.

2. It is a iPod. I would compare it to a Nano that plays video. Granted the space is a little bit small, but it does work well for travel and curing small bits of boredom. I have the small season of Firefly and about 8 albums on it and I still have four gigs to work with.

3. The touch screen works just as well as you’ve seen in the commercials. You open up a web site and can pinch the screen to zoom in and out. Going through the contacts on your phone is as easy as a flick of your finger. The keypad takes a bit to get use to, but once you do get it, it is easy.

4. The small features surprise you. Having Google maps as already saved me a bunch of grief and heartache. The You-tube feature is neat, but not to useful. The camera takes great pictures and it is fun to set up themes for your contact list. It also has iCal to use as a calendar, which works as well as any other program. Then you have little things, like weather, stocks, calculator and time. All the buttons are little Apple widgets, and they are easy to use.

Now it is time for my issues with it.

1. When you send out a text message, it can only be sent to one person at a time. So no more blanket text messages of my ass to my friends at the end of the night. I know a few people who are disappointed about that. It also lacks a IM program, but I’m sure that can be fixed with a update.

2. No games as of yet. I know most people don’t care to much about that, but I miss my Bejeweled. It would just kill time, and sometimes I need that. There are rumors that Nintendo is going to make games for it, and that could make up for my pain.

3. No flash plugins! I don’t mind You-tube, but I love all internet videos. I can’t watch them from my phone and that is not cool. Again, I believe that can be fixed with a update.

4. Small crashes and little bugs. It being a first gen, I expected this. Sometimes I will be online and Safari will crash. It’s a little pain in the grand scale of the phone. Also, when I get a call while I’m on the phone, sometimes I will lose both calls if I try to answer. A problem that can be fixed with updates.

5. No Ring-tones. I too cant stand hearing “This is Why I’m Hot” everytime a phone rings, but I do like having one personalized tone for myself. I have heard that iTunes will soon have a button to convert songs to ring-tones, but it will cost just as much as buying a song. I liked having the ability to make my own ring-tones on my RAZR. It sucks that Apple is blocking creativity.

If I was to give it a grade right now, it would be a B+ with room to improve. I’m sure the great debate’s will now rage, but I’m happy with my product.

iPhone

Any phone that gives me Pie on the go is good.

    あってはならないことだ。だが、「またしても」との印象がぬぐえない。

     電話会社のKDDIから、約四百五十万件に上る顧客情報が流出した。インターネット接続サービス「ヤフーBB」から約四百六十万人分の顧客情報が流出した二年前の事件に次ぐ、過去二番目の大規模な被害であり、事態は深刻だ。

     最先端の情報技術を誇るIT企業から、厳重に管理しているはずの顧客情報がなぜ、これほど大量に流出したのか。

     今回、被害が出たのは、KDDIのインターネット接続サービス「DION」の顧客情報だ。同社は顧客数二位の携帯電話サービス「au」も運営しており、情報管理に対する利用者の不安は大きい。

     KDDIは原因を速やかに調査し、早急に安全対策を公表すべきである。

     情報流出が明らかになったのは、流出した情報を入手して会社から現金を脅し取ろうとした男二人が、恐喝未遂容疑で警視庁に逮捕されたことが発端だ。

     顧客情報の管理システムへの接続に必要なIDとパスワードを持っていたのは、社員の一部と、システム開発会社の社員だけである。情報の横流しには、これら内部のだれかが関与している疑いが濃い。

     同社は昨春、データを外部に取り出せないシステムや監視カメラを導入した。しかし、今回の犯行はそれ以前とみられ、脇の甘かった時期を突かれた格好といえる。

     と同時に、情報技術の進化が情報管理の新たな「危機」を招いた側面も否めない。

     仮に四百五十万件の情報を紙に印刷すれば、電話帳ほぼ百冊分にもなる。しかし、電子情報のままなら、小さな記憶媒体にコピーするだけで持ち出せる。今回も、だれかが端末のパソコンからCD-Rなどに直接、情報を複写した可能性が高い。

     流出した顧客情報は住所や氏名、電話番号のほか、一部の人の性別や生年月日、メールアドレスなどで、幸い、口座番号は含まれていなかった。だが、身に覚えのない料金請求や勧誘などに悪用される恐れは十分ある。情報は一度流出すれば、取り消しようがない。被害の予測も困難だ。

    Phones crashing? I think perhaps we are getting a little far ahead of ourselves, technology wise. We’re trying to cram too much crap into too small of a device and the technology just isn’t up to the task.

    Who’s the girl in the pic? :P

  4. Billyray says:

    Thanks Fancypants, I will check it out. It is Keeley Hazell.

    I, too, am a new iPhone user, and I’m loving it, too. Rumors are that Flash support is on the way, as is ringtone support. So I can wait for that. And Google maps has already saved my ass, as I got lost on the way to an interview this morning, and I used Google maps to get there. It was awesome. Plus all the people at the interview oohed and awwed over it, so it may help me actually land a job.

    I am sooo happy about the no mass text messages, my eyes still burn.

  7. sam991 says:

    Um, that picture? That is Kelly Brook. Not Keeley Hazell. Get your pie right at least dude.

  8. Billyray says:

    You are right sir, that’s what I get for trusting Google.

    Wow, that’s all so exciting. My 4 year old Pocket PC phone (Microsoft) can do all that, if it still worked. Unfortunately there’s only 2 things that a Pocket PC phone does better – crash and die. My third one in 4 years just died last night… might as well get an iPhone. I think it’s funny how people are so giddy over iPhone features that have been around for 4+ years in Pocket PC phones.

  10. Phuked says:

    Wow….that’s great and all, about the features being around forever, except you forget that Steve Jobs himself is personally laying his balls across each, and every, iphone. That, in and of itself, is worthy of the inconceivable $600 pricetag.

    I’d personally like to know where the source of Apple’s kool-aid is, as they have the uncanny ability to actually force consumers to realistically consider spending that amount of money on frivolous and decadent junk.

  11. paul says:

    So far the iphone has disappointed me. Have a business account with AT&T? Too bad, iphone can only be activated on a personal account = lost my caller id showing business name. Want to tie in your Yahoo business hosted e-mail and have all the great Yahoo features that they support on the iphone? Too bad, you can tie it in but e-mails can only be sent from the free yahoo.com e-mail address that yahoo forces you to create. So instead of e-mailing your customers from @yourbusiness.com it comes up as freeaccount@yahoo.com. iphone fails ftw
