This last week, I finally "caved in" and bought an iPhone. In fact a bunch of us did: my Wife Lorraine, my business partner James and his wife, and one of my other friends upgraded from the 3G to the 3Gs. Wow - eyes are now wide open and I understand why the iPhone is one of the most amazing bits of technology on the planet! It's not "just" the iPhone, but it's Apple, it's iTunes, it's AT&T, and mostly it's one of the most amazing marketing strategies ever executed in the history of free trade in my opinion. WOW.
I didn't want to switch carriers, didn't want to switch away from my cell company for one that has a reputation in this area of horrible service (haven't seen that yet, btw), and I didn't want to switch away from my oh-so-depended-on Blackberry.
I even managed to put off the little man in my head telling me that I'm missing out on something fun, something good...until now. And damn was I dumb for procrastinating! I love the thing and its only a week old!
Now that I've been playing with it, I can't wait to create real iPhone applications! Not silly games, but for business...to reach out to the cloud...to get back on the leading edge of technology and build some really helpful programs that run on the iPhone....and I have SO MANY good ideas!
Stay tuned with this blog as I document my travels into the land of iPhone development. I wrote my first "Hello World" app 5 days ago...today I feel as if I'm getting sucked in the same way I was 24 years ago when I was learning Basic. It's new, it's fun...I will live, eat, and breathe it until I am considered an expert...but mostly, I'll be having fun with my first love, programming!
