Repeat after me…
“I do not need the new iphone. I do not need video on my iphone. I do not need an upgrade.”
“I do not need the new iphone. I do not need video on my iphone. I do not need an upgrade.”
“I do not need the new iphone. I do not need video on my iphone. I do not need an upgrade.”
“I do not need the new iphone. I do not need video on my iphone. I do not need an upgrade.”
“I do not need the new iphone. I do not need video on my iphone. I do not need an upgrade.”
NOOO!! I DO want video! I am missing out! My iphone is incomplete! But it does have a snazzy back…
I have to confess to a serious iphone addiction now. I didn’t quite realise how it was going to take over my life. I always swore that I could control it, and that I could put it down at any time.
But my iphone seems to have become glued to my hand, and my life revolves around it!
I am compelled to view the stats of my website when I wake up in the morning – BECAUSE I CAN.
I am driven to make my ocado orders on a tiny screen – BECAUSE I CAN
I am drawn to facebook to see what my friends did on facebook overnight – BECAUSE I CAN
I am forced to fling a ragdoll about and try and hit a target – BECAUSE I LIKE IT!
Who’d have thought that a communication device would have been come such a frivolous and at the same time essential tool?
When I left Sydney in 1994, I packed my pager away carefully – sure that when I returned home I’d be connecting it again. Yes, you heard right – I had a pager. It was a hutchinson Telecoms pager, and it had a natty belt clip. And even more amusing – I thought it would still be a valid bit of personal kit a year later!
Two factors intervened here – firstly I never actually returned to Sydney to live, and secondly, the world just moved on. It has a disconcerting habit of doing that.
So I waited to get my iphone in the first place, because I’d foolishly changed to Orange and locked myself into an 18 month contract with a crappy pink samsung phone that didn’t even talk to my Mac. That’s the second time in my life that I’ve bought a rubbish phone purely because it was pink. I really must relook at my technological buying criteria!
Last christmas I was finally free, and ran back to O2 like a lover bounding across a field. I got my iphone and started to set it up – and more importantly – to fill it up!
And fill it up I have. I discovered that you can only have 9 pages of apps. WHAT? Luckily the latest OS upgrade extended that! I’ve only added 1 extra page so far. I actually had a clean out and removed a few pointless apps (fart button? Please!)
When I finish this entry, I am going to go downstairs and make a cappucino. Now if only there was a cappucino app…

alison I’m so proud of you! it looks like you’ve kept a blog up for almost a month now. i would have forgotten I even had one and it would have fell apart after the first entry.
and the iphone business is ridiculous, I don’t even have an iPOD let along an iPHONE.
Why thank you! I think in July I made more blog posts in one go than ever before in the history of EVERYTHING!
