The iPhone arrived on June 29th to thousands of first adopters, tech enthusiasts, and gadget freaks (that would be me). Hundreds of people camped overnight in front of Apple and AT&T stores to ensure they would have one on the day it was released. But would it be worth it? On every tech news outlet, iPhone stories were numerous and dominated the “internet” waves for the entire week of June 29th. Many of my tech colleagues were sickened by this enthusiasm and dubbed it “overblown hype”. Truth? Maybe. Once the iPhone hit the streets, the tech news surrounding it nearly doubled. There were literally thousands of reviews and first impressions on the web in record time. The social photography web site flickr.com had thousands of photos tagged “iphone”. Technical blogs and podcasts seemingly talked only about the iPhone, it’s ins and outs, it’s shortcomings, and it’s surprises. So why am I writing this article now? Well, it’s been over a week, and the “honeymoon period” is over. I’ve had some time to use this device in my everyday life and I will now share with you my experiences.
