My iPhone

It is a phone, an iPod, it’s on the Internet….yes, it is all of those but it is just High Tech and it is my iPhone. Well, not yet but as soon as it is available from Rogers.

In about 40 hours, Apple (http://www.apple.com/ ) will change our life, this time it will be the way we use our cell phone with their introduction of the infamous iPhone. Personally, I think it is an awesome device and I will embrace any device from Apple since they have never disappointed me over the years.

Apple announced last week that you would be able to view YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/) on your iPhone. To achieve the feat you need to be able to access the Internet through your iPhone WiFi connection or from your service provide EDGE service. The iPhone will stream YouTube such that you can access your social preference from this network hog or killer bandwidth social services. I am not an iPhone skeptic but I know my good friends are saying:

Let see now, I walking to Union Station and listening to my favorite podcast on my iPhone, during the podcast a reference is made to a new Rogers’s advertisement on YouTube. I quickly touch my iPhone and connect to the Internet via a free WiFi service downtown Toronto. I load the iPhone YouTube application and watch the video. I jumped onto the GO-Train and while on the GO I loose the WiFi signal but I simple switch to EDGE (since we are still working on seamless roaming from WiFi to EDGE.) The only downside with social networks is that my corporation plus most Fortune 1000 companies is blocking them. Why? Social networks are eating-up the 100Mbps network!!! They are forcing me to access YouTube on my iPhone. ....wait a minute…the WiFi and EDGE networks are just a minuscule of my network at home and back at the office…something is not clicking here….oops iPhone does not click,…they touch-based…just like in the Minority Report movie J.

That is many skepticisms but I rather say it before they lamb blast me. We should not focus on technicality but embrace the functionality and one smaller step by humanity in the advancement of ease of used and having information at your fingertip.
