I have been swooning over the iPhone since the day it was released but was never able to convince myself that I could afford it. However as time went by, the phone and it’s applications got more advanced, while I grew more antsy.

My resistance the phone has only ever been the strain it would place on my financial well being. I was excited to check stocks on the train, look for the nearest bus stop at the bar, and compose an email at the beach.

The truth is this really is a revolutionary device and truly puts the worlds knowledge at your finger tips whenever and where ever you need it. (provided you have a data connection). Before I bought my phone there was a laundry list of things I had in my head I could do if I just had the phone. However I am finding something new everyday that I couldn’t do before that is just making it that much more of an amazing device.

I have about a 15 minute communte to my JOB downtown, in which I used to read magazines or merely stare out the window dreading, antcipating what the next 8 hours would have in store for me. Now I am able to stay up-to-date on my investments before the opening bell in the mornings, and my new goal is to use the 15 minute ride on the way home to compose a blog post everyday. Effectively using my time to be productive in thought, and document the day’s events rather than simply allowing the train to whisk me away from them.
