I'm Having an Affair!

I'm Having an Affair! Yes, it is true, there is someone else after 24 years of marriage.  I am in love with my new iPhone.

Sure you say, "Dennis it is only a cell phone, get over it!"  "Only a cell phone, are you nuts?" This thing will do everything but rub your back, and they are working on that.

I had an iPhone 3 a couple of years back.  I lost it while hiking in the Sangre De Cristo wilderness area in Southern Colorado.  There is now likely a brown bear using it's GPS to find his cave!  I wanted to get a replacement for it, however AT&T wanted full price--600 Bucks!  So I waited until my contract was up and now have the iPhone4 for a measly 299 Bucks + tax.

Smart phones have Apps (Applications) that can do most anything.  Any entrepreneur with half a programming brain can develop and sell an App, to you, with Apple's approval--App, Apple, cute huh?

The iPhone comes standard with many Apps.  It has the Stock Market App; the Weather App; there is a You Tube App-- wouldn't want to miss the latest gone viral video now; a Web Browser and so forth.  Now if that doesn't suit your APPetite, you may download some 350,000 other Apps for your needs.  They can be free, many are $.99 to $1.99; some can hit 40 Bucks for a brand name GPS.

I have a Dictionary App, voice actuated no less; I have a radio App that receives nearly every radio station in the country; I have a police and fire scanner App so I can keep tabs on my tax dollars at work; I have a little level to I can check to see if my picture frames are hanging straight; there is a flight tracker App so I can see what time your plane will arrive; there is a cute little alarm clock App with a Zen approved chime to gently wake you at some God awful hour!  Geez--it just goes on and on!  I am getting heart palpitations just thinking about all these Apps!

I shall now take my iPhone and my Labrador Retriever for a walk.  I will not get lost as my GPS has my home location programmed in it, to be found a the touch of an App button.  Should I wish to stop for a Latte' there is a part of the GPS that shows the nearest coffee shops.  I never knew how many caffeinated beverages were being served within a stones through of my home.  Should you want to find me--download the App that tracks the location of someone else's cell phone!
