iPhone Overshadows July 4th Festivities
Fireworks and food took a backseat to multiple demonstrations of the new Apple iPhone at our Independence Day barbeque on Wednesday. Three partygoers brought along their dearly beloved gadgets and repeatedly wowed the crowd with the device's uber-functionality and utter coolness.
"Look, I can get the real-time weather forecast for Washington tonight and the outlook for a dozen other locations I've pre-programmed." "Check this out -- I can punch in this address and see a Google Earth image of the backyard." "Ooooo, watch this hilarious YouTube video of a cat playing with firecrackers!" "Can you believe how great the resolution is on the photo I just took of the potato salad?"
Techies and non-techies alike were in awe of the sleek design, ease of use and various must-have applications… and the iPhone owners barely even mentioned the components that allow users to make telephone calls and listen to music (the two main purposes of the $600 toy). Summer get-togethers may never be the same but until the iPhone helps clean up after houseguests, it's not a true all-in-one thingamajig.
