Previously I've shared with you that 2011 was a great year in my life because it's the year I went Mac. I decided to launch into 2012 with an Apple sequel--my iPhone 4S arrived today.
Let me be sure to give my Motorola Droid props. It served me for more than two years, and it served me well. It even played relatively nicely with my Macbook Air when I got it. But it was time to replace the old phone, and I couldn't pass on the Apple product.
So it's in my hand. I'm getting familiar with Siri. She types and sends messages for me, dials the phone for me, looks things up on the internet--why she even told me it's going to snow tomorrow. Sure, there are some wants where her service is concerned. I asked her to get me a cup of coffee and she offered to locate nearby coffee shops. I asked her if she thought I might have a romantic evening with my wife tonight, and she said, "I'm sorry, Darin, I can't help you with that." (No, I'm not kidding. Verbatim.)
But, once again I'm amazed with the Apple product. From the packaging--coolest packaging of any products on the market, bar none. To the user-friendliness--I turned it on and it immediately began to sync all of my apps, info and accounts. Too cool!
You know me well enough to know that my aim with technology is more with less and maximizing while minimizing. My initial take: We're well underway with this new gadget. I'll keep you posted. We're off to a good start.
