    1. I just bought an iPhone last week after having a Blackberry for 6 years. The iPhone is so much better! Yesterday I downloaded my first few games, and the kids loved JigSee, which lets you take a picture from the iPhone camera and turn it into a jigsaw puzzle game. iPhone browser also works GREAT on wifi!

    2. Pretty soon data plans from the carriers will disappear, they are expensive and as wifi becomes more ubiquitous, you will be able to connect from anywhere. who neds to be driving or walking or running down the road reading their email anyway, just stop at a wifi spot pull down and read, move to next task. TIME TO SMELL THE ROSES!!!! oh yea and read your email!!
