Time flies. It always does, especially so when your hands are tied and your brain is fried. Hmm that rhymes!
Quite a lot of stuff has happened in the months of October and November, which is really too much to cover in a single post. I should be embarking on another new adventure this coming December, if not January 2010. Can’t go much into details here, but it is definitely interesting to me.
This post is really about the use of my relatively new iPhone and the time-savings it allows me since my switch from the old Nokia E90, which was a pain to use for web browsing in comparison.
Now, I check my corporate emails via the iPhone, post statuses on Facebook and Twitter (which I do not really like), play web-based games – all the power you need in your palm. Not the Palm Pilot which had a great headstart but sort of lagging behind now in the face of fierce competition.
I installed the Wordpress 2.0 iPhone App today, which prompted me to write this short post, with photo taken using the iPhone camera of course. While this app lacks the full functionalities of the web-based admin features, it is good enough for quick posts to my blog. It works great for me! Now I can simply “pen” down my thoughts, without the need for the full-fledge browser. The iPhone is like my PC, and I do not even need to boot up and wait for the irritating Windows.
Another reason why I love the iPhone since my switch from Nokia. Cool.

Hey, can’t agree more! The new smartphones – be it as Nokia, Apple, or BlackBerry – these days are so much better than our older phones. I too do all of the able that you wrote with my Nokia N97. And net surfing with a touchscreen phone (and a full keyboard) can be real fun too. iPhone is a nice phone. If only the in-built camera is any better. I saw a man on the plane. He is a Westerner. And he has a iPhone (or iTouch) to watch video, a Nokia phone (personal?), and a Blackberry (business?). Shocking … lol.
As for Wordpress, I think Nokia users use the Nokia Lifeblog and direct post to Wordpress via there, which include video posting as well, besides pictures.
Anyways. Looking forward to hearing your new adventure.

Oooo btw, have you seen the new Nokia N900? It runs on Linux with a Mozilla based browser. I think that could well be as close to a PC a phone can get …
