Why I Have to Have a Smartphone but Can't Live Without My iPhone

iphonepandukasenakaNot only do I work online, but I pretty much live online.  I use web-based applications for just about everything – email, calendar, documents, networking, etc.  It’s much easier to have information available online from any computer than have to rely on having my laptop all the time.  However, the drawback is needing some way to connect to that information without a computer – a smartphone.  Ever since my first blackberry I’ve been hooked on smartphones and having all the information I want at any time with a touch of a button.

Recently Aaron and I finally got iPhones, and now I wonder why we waited so long.  Obviously there have been benefits to having a device that has been upgraded a few times since it first came out.  But the functionality and design of the iPhone makes me wish my computer worked as elegantly (and as a Mac it does come close).  I have yet to run into something I can do on my laptop that I can’t do on the iPhone.  Granted, there are a few things I would rather do on my laptop – and typing long blog articles is certainly one of them.  I also know there are some limitations of the iPhone, but I have yet to run into one that I really care about.

Carrying around the iPhone makes it easy to stay connected to my network and clients, so I’m not as concerned with being away from my computer while I attend business or networking events. And unlike a lot of technology, the iPhone never seems to get in my way.  It’s as easy to use and fun to play with as my first computer way back in the 19**’s. What other technology can you say that about?
