I remember arguing with Mac people, insisting that most of the software I bought was only made for PCs so I had to stick with them. My sisters were some of the strongest advocates for Macs. We would debate pros and cons until they would give up, throw their arms up in the air and say things like, "Suit yourself! Maybe someday you’ll understand."
Somehow, one of them convinced me to get an iPod for my hubby for his birthday. Shortly after that we bought our first Mac. It was one of those sleek, shiny MacBook devices. That Mac led to another iPod, then another Mac, then another iPod and, before I knew it, I was seeking out information on that mysterious new device that was supposed to change the way all phones were made - they called it the iPhone.
Do you love it when a song sticks in your head? Maybe it depends on the song, eh? Well, someone recently Twittered about the fact that he couldn’t get this song out of his mind. I looked it up on YouTube and, especially after seeing the video, I feel the same way. It’s fun, uplifting and infectious. After you watch it, let me know whether you agree:
I’ll be over here…dancing…and singing…
"I’m a new soul…"

I’m surprised to hear some moms criticizing the iPhone , saying that it doesn’t have enough features.
Are you kidding me??
It is a phone , after all, and some people want it to do everything that every other device can do. Talk about demanding.
It might not have video capability, but please! You can take fairly decent photos with it. You can also, by the way, use the photos you take as the photo identification in your contacts - cool! Okay, many phones do that now, but with the iPhone’s large screen, I can actually see these photos, unlike my old tiny little cell phone.
Another comment I heard is that someone wanted to be able to read books in it (i.e., to have it function as an e-reader, too!). Come on now. I think that’s absolutely unreasonable. The audiobooks are sufficient for me.
Yes, I have to chime in and say that this device is absolutely, positively ideal for stay at home moms (and everyone else, for that matter!)! I used to have a Palm Pilot, mobile phone, and a big clunky paperback map book in my car. Now, with one device, I have all of those inside one well designed stylish tool of beauty — the iPhone . In addition to all of those features (phone, calendar, map), I’m treated to an iPod (best one ever made), all of my email, Internet access at my fingertips and so much more…
I recently saw a fun video that captures the passion some people have about the iphone .
It’s David Pogue ’s (the New York Times technology reviewer’s) YouTube video . I just can’t get enough of it. So fun…
The bottom line?
If you can swing it…
GET an iPhone !
I hereby finally acknowledge and accept that all things Mac/Apple are brilliant, well designed, easy to use, gorgeous to look at and super efficient. I give full credit to my sisters who have been trying (for decades!) to make me see the light. Thanks!! You were right all along!!
