My wife and I went to the mall today to do a little shopping, and of course, since we were there, I figured we could drop into the Apple store. We did. The first thing to catch my eye were the two large iPhones in the window, and the horde of people crowding around a table playing with six or so of them. My wife, being crafty, got someone to let one go and called me over. In about two minutes of using the map and contact features I was sold. We purchased some iPod accessories, and left the iPhones behind to continue our shopping. About one hour later, after calculating the cancellation fees the purchase would incur, and convincing my wife to let me buy it, we went to the AT&T store and each got an iPhone. Aside from the iPhone being top of the line and the latest thing to hit the street, the main reason for the purchase was to replace my BlackBerry that won’t sync with my Mac.

No more of that, we can’t have that!

Now I can sync my contacts, calendar, email, photos and music, taking it all with me wherever I go. Take all of that, and add in a fairly reasonable plan with rollover minutes and unlimited email/web, and life with Apple is getting sweeter.

Oneness is a beautiful thing.
