iPhone 2nd Gen :: July 11, 2008

Apparently I've built up a high level of expectation as an early adopter of new technology. Increasingly, as something new comes out, numerous people will query me as to my interest in said technology and chance of my using it.

Are you getting a Wii when it comes out? Are you getting a PS3? Are you getting a MacBook Air? And most recently, are you getting a new iPhone?

I was an early adopter of the first iPhone. I paid a lot for a device that had yet to mature. I don't regret waiting in line, the price, or the early problems. The 3G iPhone was a toss-up for me, however. Nearly all of the features I needed were included in the 2.0 firmware update. It was the wants that got me to fetch the new phone. Others have postured that it is one of Apple's greatest strengths: make people want regardless of need.

So after countless queries of my intentions toward the new phone and personal deliberations and marital negotiations, I am now the proud owner of an iPhone 3G.

My impressions so far are mostly based on the capabilities of the new firmware so I can only comment on the two elements of the actual phone. First, 3G is so much better than Edge, as it should be. Second, the flush headphone jack is fantastic.

On the new firmware side, I've grabbed quite a few free apps and bought Bomberman Touch and will probably grab a sudoku game soon. The array of apps is already nice and is bound to grow quite well. I'm anxious to see what will come down the road over the next few months.

Now, back to playing with the phone for a few more hours--it's fun!
