I get my hands on an iPhone…

I’m feeling guilty about this post because I (like many) have been ticked off by the over-whelming publicity the iPhone has been receiving in news feeds and forums. So yesterday Michael Jones – Google Earth’s CTO let me try his iPhone out. .. both myself and Jonathan Field (who took the photo on the left of me drooling over it) were blown away!

Michael told us how he was trying to fix a domestic problem for his Mother and didn’t know how to undo a piece of plumbing, so so whisked out his iPhone.. looked the fitting up on the web and found how to undo the pipe.

The iPhone sits somewhere between a Blackberry, your iPod, your camera, and your PC at home… competing with none whilst bringing the benefits of each to the palm of your hand… oh, and then some…. and yes, as reported it’s impossibly slim!

No doubt Jonathan and myself  might be first in Line when the Apple Store at Wesy Quay Southampton launches the iPhone later in the year, as I suspect will my old boss Ed Parsons who was also with us yesterday, but in his case at his local Kingston Apple store no wait, he says he’ll may go the whole honk and stand in line at Apple UK’s prestigious Regent Street Store. maybe us ‘hicks’ might join him?
