A Geek's Opinion

After reading Michael Hyatt’s blog post, “Top 10 reasons to buy the new IPhone 3G” I felt that there could be more added to his post. So, I have come up with four more reasons why you need too buy the new IPhone 3G.

If you are considering of buying one, do it. You will not regret it. Its the Rolls Royce of phones, Everything is there or in a option box (app). So lets see what I have come up with. Its pretty obvious, but they are what really matter to me.

1. Cut, Copy and Paste: I literally use this about one hundred times a day. No joke. So when I found out the new IPhone 3G had it I was so happy and disappointed. Why disappointed? Because I can’t afford it. Why Apple didn’t include this before has got me, it is a need for many. As Chris Pirillo said in his review “I actually used it!” You never know if you are going to use it or not. One day you might find a quote that you like and want to set it as your facebook status. But, you are too lazy to type it out. What do you use? Cut, Copy and Paste, bud.
2. A landscape QWERTY keyboard: Not having a landscape keyboard would have to be one of the most annoying things you can come across, agreed? This is also great for the elderly person market. Example, my mother likes big buttons so she can see them and it makes it easier to type. So now that the keyboard is landscape she will be able to type much, much faster because the buttons will be spread out much more, making them big and more ideal for her.
3. Voice Memo’s: Now, this may not be the most appealing to most people but, it makes me cry of happiness. Instead of carrying a notepad and pen with me I will be able to record my blog post idea’s on a cool IPhone, instead of looking like a total freak when I have an “Eureka” moment and randomly start scribbling things down on the notepad I pulled out of my pants. But I am sure there are a lot of other things normal people can think of to use this feature. Apple have also included the “trim” feature which allows you to be able to cut out all those scenes of you yelling at the kids and send the appropriate memo. I am sure plenty of on-the-go parents will appreciate this.
4. Now before this post had never knew about tethering until, Google provided me with the answers. Good old Google. Tethering is great! I can’t believe I didn’t know what it was (not much of a geek). On the new IPhone you can do it wireless or wired, totally up to you and if I am correct, you were able to do it on the old one’s but you ran the risk of your service being canceled. I am unsure of this.

After seeing all the new features on the new IPhone it is just making (in my opinion) the IPhone more and more invincible. Much like World of Warcraft for MMO’s. Imagine if you fused them two together. Blizzard and Apple will be set.
