Over the weekend my parents received our cell phone bill. Once again Verizon had screwed it up. My mom wasn’t too happy and neither was I, because we had called them multiple times before about problems with our bill and those same problems seem to keep recurring. I even did billshrink.com to see if we were getting the best service at Verizon or if we should switch companies. I won’t lie, I’m really interested in getting an iPhone. One of my friends has one and it’s pretty cool. So I started looking around online to learn more about it and then I remembered I had seen information in our textbook about the iPhone.
Usually when I purchase textbooks, I really can’t figure out why I did it. I use them for the class and then they sit in my closet because I have no use for them. This was the first time I had actually used my book for something not related to class. The iPhone offers its users a chance to use the internet away from their computers. You can get applications for it to play games and you can use it as an iPod. What more could you really want from a phone?
Each iPhone has its own operating system that was developed by Apple. It’s all touch screen so there isn’t a key pad. The book even says that “users can manage contacts and notes, send and receive e-mail and text messages, take pictures, record videos, connect to the Internet wirelessly and browse the Web, check stocks, access maps and obtain directions, listen to music, watch movies and videos, and display photos.” Not many phones can do all that.
It’s truly amazing to see what technologies have come up with over the past several years. We have gone from the large cell phones that Zac Morris used to use (Save by the Bell reference) to phones that are literally ten things in one. I’m not sure if my mom, my dad, and I will switch from Verizon to A T& T or if I’ll have to wait until the iPhone becomes available through Verizon, either way I will have one, one day.
