iPhone Wallpaper
So, I was browsing around for a background for my iPhone, and I found one:
Lately Pam and I had to drive downtown, and the quick and easy web browsing and maps integration saved us several times. (My car bettery was replaced recently, and I have to find the key code to activate the Nav system in my car… which I haven’t got around to yet) I kept saying something along the lines of “isn’t that amazing how useful this is”… but she wasn’t too impressed, lol. I’ve been taking pictures with the iPhone too, and how easy it is to browse, flip through and zoom in to images is just how it should be. Why can’t everything be that simple?
Google Maps on the iPhone is amazing. You’re never more than 3 taps and typing a word away from finding something near you and having their name, address and phone number right there. Then one more tap to call or get directions. Again, shouldn’t everything be this easy?
I’m also loving the fast weather and e-mail access. And I LOVE the calendar access. I’m now syncing my iPhone calendar with iCal on my Mac, and that is syncing with my Google Calendar. Then I have a calendar on Google that’s syncing with my Dad’s Google calendar, which will sync with his Outlook. You can make a change on any computer or calendar, and it will sync to everything else. I love it! I remember wishing years ago that everything would just “be there”… looks like lots of other people have the same idea (and are actually doing things about it). I’ve never been one to be organized and scheduled (but I desperately need to be), but all the Calendar syncing is making it easy and fun, and with reminders that will go off on my phone and PC, I won’t miss things (or forget).
It’s all coming together.
