iphone behavior
An interesting observation: since purchasing my iPhone in, November? of 2007 I’ve moved away entirely from using Google Reader on my laptop. I now read RSS feeds throughout the day — when I wakeup I scan the headlines quickly, while waiting at stoplights, while waiting in the drive thru for food and right before going to sleep. All using the mobile version of Google Reader.
The amount of time that has saved me during my most productive hours easily outweighs the initial cost of the phone itself.
I still don’t care about the “soft” keyboard, but I do miss “push” e-mail. If I’m in the middle of a back-and-forth (almost IM like) email thread, I want to be notified immediately. Not in 15 minutes.
