the iphone truth

our buddy chris humphreys mentioned a reference to this wired.com article on his blog: "the untold story of the iPhone." it's an insightful article detaining the behind-the-scenes story of the iphone.

in sum, the iphone has revolutionized the way i can get things done. i can sort through quick emails while waiting in lines, check for important flight times, delete spam, file away important emails, etc... thereby freeing up time rather than sitting in front of the computer checking email later in the evening. i can share portfolio images with clients without opening a computer. i can inspired by looking at favorite images. try out some new poses or textured backgrounds. google maps has already saved me on more than one occasion. the 2.0 megapixel camera rocks. listening to photo podcasts while doing mundane tasks has opened up a new world of learning (favorite podcasts include: lightsource studio photography, lenswork, f-stop beyond, and the nikonian's image doctors). the calculator is spiffy. sharing dash with the world and then seeing the weather forecast in two clicks is grand. checking updates of other photographer's blogs are a cinch with safari. and the list goes on.

i'm always giddy to know what apple will announce on tuesday's macworld expo. we already know apple came out with the fastest mac pro ever two days ago. what's next? new hd monitor? iphone update? smaller mac mini?
