It would be an understatement to say that AnodeMan is in love with his iPhone. He was standing in line the first day they went on the sale. He submitted his order early for the 2G, and because he's now such a valued customer, I think Apple just mailed him the 3G.
Surprisingly enough, he learned to use it ! This is contrary to any piece of electronics he has ever encountered. I mean, he doesn't even know how to use the TV remote. Well, that's not exactly true, but just punching buttons until something happens is not my idea of knowing how to use the thing. Some of you may remember a couple of posts a year or so ago about his relationship with the lady in his GPS. That hasn't changed much. He is still arguing with her. Because he just recently started e-mailing as a way to communicate, it was quite a shock to start receiving test messages, e-mails, and videos from him. Not to mention that he downloaded 1,000's of songs which subsequently crashed not only his iPhone, but also his MAC.
That leads to this conversation:
From his iPhone, he calls...
Him: Are you going to be running errands today?
Me: Why ?
Him: I need you to run an errand for me.
Me: Where ?
Him: Just to City Market.
Me: For what ?
Him: To pick up some pictures I had developed.
Me: OK.
In case you're thinking that I just rearranged those pictures to look like there were two full boxes, I didn't.
Conversation continues once I used a fork lift to get these into the house:
Him: That's not all of the pictures.
Me: What the heck do you mean THAT'S NOT ALL ?!?
Him: I just realized that the thumb drive I used didn't hold all the pictures that were on my iPhone.
Me: You took ALL those pictures with your iPhone ?
Him: Uh-huh.
Me: So how many more pictures are there?
Him: About three months worth.
Me: Where are you going?
Him: To learn more about the 85,000 applications for my iPhone.
Me: (______________________________) You can fill in the blank.
My daughter has more applications on her iTouch than I would know what to do with. Besides telling us in advance of our restaurant dinner order how many calories and carbs it has, she can also make fake toast on it.

Oh, and that's a LOT of stinkin' pictures.

What the heck is he taking pictures of??? He needs to learn delete. Technology can be bad as well as good...very confusing sometimes. Sounds like he loves his new toy..LOL

I love my Iphone more than I care to admit but I'm not that bad. Personally my photo's aren't that good from my phone.

He sounds like my eldest daughter who loves her iPhone, but that surely is a lot of photos. My daughter even has a programme that enable her to chat to me while she drives to work in the mornings (she's in San Fran and I'm here in the UK)!

CRAZY!!! Never taken that many photos! And thought the 20 songs I downloaded the other day was pretty extreme. Haven't seen an iPhone, no network here supports them. Sounds fun though! Saw a gag GPS that I thought would be the perfect gift for you to give Hans! Looks just like a real GPS, and talks in the same female Brittish voice, but says things like "I know you are male, but can't you just admit you are lost and stop driving in circles and ask for directions?"

Why does he need hard copies? That's as stupid as printing off your emails.
