Has it been that long since I\u2019ve posted here? Guess so. Couple of months anyways eh?<br \/>\nOh well&#8230; Been having too much fun I guess. Between then and now I\u2019ve come up with some things to post, but after I wrote them I failed to find the motivation or time to actually post the article in between all my leisurely activities.  But more on them later. Perhaps next month. Then all will be clear.<\/p>\n<p>What about the new iPhone? Faster. Longer battery (usage, not length). Less money. Wait, lets go back to that faster part. 3G it seems. Bad part of it is, there is no 3G in my area so getting it would not net me any faster internet. Then there\u2019s the whole black plastic piece. I don\u2019t like it. I figure I could get used to it if I had; but I don\u2019t have to just yet. I\u2019m still perfectly happy using my original iPhone. It will get all the software improvements of the new iPhone once Apple releases the updated software. I really love the look of mine though &#8211; the matte aluminum back. You see that and you now immediately (if you are in the know) that it is an iPhone. You see something all black, it could be one of a hundred different phones out there. <\/p>\n<p>For this geek, I\u2019ll be thrilled when my version 2 iPhone software gets delivered to me. More so than getting one of the new iPhones themselves. I\u2019m also looking forward to the 3rd party apps that will be available soon.<\/p>\n<p>I was disappointed at the features that seem like they should be delivered with version 2 but will not be as far as I can tell: copy\/paste and MMS to list the main culprits. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I still wouldn\u2019t go back to my Palms or Windows immobile devices, but I would like to see those two features on my iPhone. Are you listening Steve?<\/p>\n<p>And I will fill you in eventually on what has transpired these last couple months. I promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man.
