Cr (wow. • I have the iPhone on my mind Is the iPhone craze all it's cracked up to be? Is it the best hand held device one can buy? My answer to that is simply, yes. It has the total multime- dia experience you want. All of the applications , are geared towards what a laptop offers, but you get to download video, go on social networking sites, use a brows- er to surf the net, take pictures, listen to your music, like I said, pretty much everything a laptop Some people say the price of the iPhone is too much, and they are proba- bly right. It's because it's one of a kind and Apple has always beennotoriousfor their high priced gadgets. It will, however, not stop me from buying one, which I intend to do. I received an iPod Touch `for a Christmas present last year and I love it. I use it more than any other thing I own, especially more than my laptop. It 'only makes sense for me to buy the iPhone. Why not have the phone capa- bilities along with what I have now in my iPod. For all of those Blackberry lovers, I do agree they have impressive phones, but as far as multimedia, the iPhone soars way above it. Every other cell phone maker is trying to play catch up with the iPhone design. It can especially - be seen in the Palm Pre and Blackberry Storm. My only quibble with the iPhone is that it can't switch trough applications like the Palm Pre and Blackberry phones can do, but with all of the other things the iPhone can do, it's just a small criti- cism. Anyone who knows me is aware that when I want something like a new gadg- et, I usually give in and buy it and the iPhone is next on my list. (P.S. It's Monday and I now own one!)
