Checked my local Apple store for the throngs of customers waiting to get their hands on the new Apple iPhone. How I envied them! I am an Apple devotee and a gadg-aholic. I’ve been carrying a Treo 650 for 3 three years now-not the same one, you understand-lost one in the Albuquerque airport last year and got to upgrade. (Keep up those $4.95 insurance payments to your cell provider! Once I cancelled the insurance, promptly lost my current phone, and it cost $300 to get the most boring basic cell phone you ever saw!) So when I sprang for the Treo when it came out, the insurance was a no-brainer.

Back to the iPhone–talk, listen to music, surf the net, map a location, send/receive email AND YouTube viewing. “iPhone delivers the best YouTube mobile experience by far,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Now users can enjoy YouTube wherever they are—on their iPhone, on their Mac or on a widescreen TV in their living room with Apple TV.”

All the iPhone applications were designed according to Web 2.0 internet standards which makes them more interactive and easier to use. That means third party applications using Web 2.0 standards can be added to the device without hampering its functionality.

So for those of you whose iPhones are activated, party on! For those of you still waiting for A T and T to catch up, the wait will be worth it. Hang on for the ride. If I know Apple, there’s more to come!
