I’ve resisted writing this for a while now so that I didn’t come across as some sort of deranged Apple fanboy as you read this. \u00a0However I’m still struggling to measure my words now which is kinda sick.<\/p>\n
Allow me to pull you back in time… \u00a0Back in December Angie wanted an iPod so that she could use it to store her German language lessons on it and for whatever other purposes she liked. \u00a0She didn’t get one for the Winter Solstice celebration so she turned to her geeky husband to get one for Valentine’s Day. \u00a0Knowing how technical things go in and out of style for her I lent her my iPod for a month to see if she’d like using it — and continue using it. \u00a0Turns out she did and so it was up to me. \u00a0Admittedly I hadn’t been expecting this outcome so I was kind of behind the\u00a0proverbial\u00a08-ball. \u00a0However it turned out that our cell phone contract was coming to an end so I tried to figure out an angle where that would help.<\/p>\n
I decided to get us iPhones — a new phone because our Razor’s were a bit outdated, and an iPod wrapped in an iPhone for Angie. \u00a0With the AT&T discounts and getting refurbished devices the cost was fairly reasonable. \u00a0The reveal is a lengthy story so rather than babble on here, I’m just not going to.<\/p>\n
Anyway, these stinkin’ smart phones have a way of burrowing into your day-to-day life. \u00a0I don’t know that I’d be able to go back to a regular cell phone having had one now. \u00a0I’m sure that’s music to the smart phone manufactures and the cell companies around the world. \u00a0So be forewarned. \u00a0If you like keeping things simple DO NOT get a smart phone, let alone an iPhone. \u00a0They will eat your soul — the iPhone just a little less than the others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
