Feed Me Apple
So yesterday at 9AM I stopped in at Best Buy and pre-ordered a new 32 Gig Black IPhone 4. I should get one on the day they are released since I was like 3rd in line. It really wasn't crowded. I think people didn't know that you could pre-order it at Best Buy. I did and knew I could get reward points for buying it there. I am addicted to reward points. I am glad Best Buy was not down like the AT&T and Apple sites. However, they had a different system and were taking pre-orders on paper so I don't know if I will still get it on time. We shall see.
I am excited about this new iPhone. It is an amazing feat of technology. It introduces to the world "facetime" which is two way video calling. Because there is a camera on the front and back of the phone I can look at the phone and it will broadcast my face and I will be able to see whomever I am talking toos face. Of course there is one big caveat to the facetime, it only works with other iPhone 4s and it only works over WiFi. However, as time goes on it will expand. For now it will be a gimmick, cool, but not practical. The other great things about this iPhone are the extended battery life, by 40%, 4 times the screen resolution, and the ability to arrange apps in a folder. They say it is smaller and faster and the glass is 4 times as hard as it was before. As a techno junkie I can't wait. The hype is big.
Then there are the apps. My home and future car will be connected to this phone. I will be able to control all of lights in the house, turn up and down all of the air conditioners, listen to all of the music, stream all of my videos including netflix, view all of the cameras and even control the house door locks with the phone. Then the Nissan Leaf has an iPhone app that will allow me to turn on the air conditioner before I get to the car. There is also a GPS tracker app and a viper car start app which will actually turn on the car and unlock the doors. Top that off with voice guided navigation and voice recognition and you have a device that makes me powerful. I think technology has made me hungry for power. The more you use it the easier life becomes. The iPhone will feed me for a little while. I wonder if I can get full? More tests.
