Big Picture: November 2010

Life has changed in many ways .. so much that by the time I think of writing about it , boom – comes the other one. So before this life changing experience gets mundane , let me write about it.

Me and M (M&M) recently gifted each other with iP4 – 32 GB and got a supporting 2 Gig data plan !

Insider – Infact its M whos got it for both of us !!

Yours truly being technologically challenged and M being a gadget freak (may I say so) this was obviously his intiative. I was infact not supportive at all initially with the thought of the impending expenditure. Hardly did I know then that it will have such a huge impact on me !!!

But finally I gave in !

The first thing I noticed was its quite user friendly , since I could use it with no assistance at all from day one. App store has a lot of interesting applications and what made it more interesting was the deal Me n M made between us. The one who finds a new app will get the brownie points …:) And that got me hooked to it.

The FAcetime is awesome. M knows what I am wearing to office and I know what my sister cooked – handy , fast and interesting.

With the CallsUnltd app, you can configure your Vonage connection on iPhone, so that now I can call my mommie from SD using my landline connection in SF !! Whoopieee !!

Camera – The back side 5MB and the front VGA – makes life cooler and colorful. I can take a shot of what I am eating and whoa- How I am eating it !!! It helps me capture the sunset colors of SD very vividly on the way to airport and look I just emailed it to all.

I have my Bank app which hopefully will make banking easy , a southwest app – which makes me have a snapshot of all the upcoming iteneries, check in and see the flight status too.

Dhingana.com app has a very good Radio – I need not bother about downloading music (lil lazy here). M would vouch for Tandora though.

The other useful apps would be weather , navigator, around me, skype etc.

I have configured my gmail and Office Outlook , so I get easy acces to emails ( I know this isn’t something I need to brag about iPhone –for blackberry would do it much better. ) But I love the look of all that on iPhone.

The resolution in awesome. I like watching photos on it over my HP i5 laptop .. huh !

There are hazaar apps out of which one is a chumtracker – oops , I just said THAT !! Nevermind .. !

Ohh and yes, I already dropped it twice – so done with the stress testing too.

The cons - ? High chances of missing your bus stop because you would be busy exploring your iPhone and then getting down at a wrong bus-stop – but well yaa, nevamind – my iPhone will navigate me !!!
