I got an iPhone!

I had to write that title in all caps because it is really awesome! The iPhone has taken me hours to set up properly because I did not use my address book in my computer and such, so had to get my act together and set-up my phone how I wanted it. Let me tell you though, for any of you who have At&t (formerly Cingular) having an iPhone will only cost you $30/month to have web access.

Developers are making widgets for it everyday, so you have a resource of great little programs for your phone at your fingertips. You download them to your phone straight from iTunes.

For anyone with an iPhone (or anyone who is going to run out and buy one) here are my favorite widgets for my business thus far:

#1: SaiSuke
This lets me view and update my Google Calendar right from my phone. It also gives me options on how I view my calendar. I personnally like viewing a list of my events.

#2: MiGhtyDocs
I moved all of my documentation online and use Google Docs. This widget does not let me save or update my documents but I can view them. This is great if I need to review a production script, a contract, or invoice for some reason.

#3: Pandora
Not "really" work related, but I like to work while listening to cool music and Pandora exposes me to all different types of artists - and it's free!

#4: Google Mobile App
You can just speak into your iPhone to do searches. How cool. This is way better than typing it in!

#5: Say Where!
This let's you speak into your phone and say a place and name (like 411) and your phone will find it.

#6: Lose It
OK, I have not used this yet I just downloaded it. But I would like to be in better shape this year, and since I will be doing a lot of shooting on the beach in the spring, I'm hoping "lose it" will help me "lose it." Apparently you can track calories and workouts... not sure yet how great it is, but it looked cool.

That is a quick review thus far. I just got my phone yesterday. For pricing, it cost $199 for the 8 gb phone with a 2 year contract or $299 for the 16gb phone with a 2 year contract. It costs $175 to break the contract if you need too. You have to have the data plan with the phone - which means you will spend an additional $30/month. I have unlimited minutes because I never know how long I will be on the phone for. I had to ask for that, it is $99/month. So, after taxes and all, I will be paying about $150/month for Unlimited calling and Unlimited Internet.

Have a good one!!!
