I've recently setup the wireless network in my apartment allowing me to connect my iPhone to the internet without connecting it to my PC via the USB cable. This is all sorts of awesome. So far the only drawback is it enables me to piss away money on stupid apps and iTunes at an accelerated rate. But then I guess thats how you learn self control right? Or go broke 99 cents at a time.
That's pretty brilliant isn't it? The way the iPhone has really capitalized on the impulse buy. Its like the last 5 minutes of grocery shopping extended to 24 hours a day. You know, the 5 feet or so preceding the checkout person. Has all the candy, gum, tabloids, TV guide, etc. All the crap you really don't go looking for, but since its there, and your staring at it anyway. I mean, this old lady with the bag of coupons hasn't even busted out her checkbook yet, so I've got a few minutes. Why not look at the tabloid rags... then you get hooked into some stupid thing and walk out with the thing. Its just like that, only ALL THE TIME! Bravo Apple, bravo.
So yea, now that the wireless connection is up, I don't have to download at 3G, but as fast as my cable modem will give me, which is pretty darn fast compared to the cell network. I grabbed a few songs because i could. Its different when its that fast. Grabbed a whole album in a few minutes. There goes $10. Don't regret that one yet though, good album :) And no I'm not telling you what it is. I will not contribute to the delinquency of your bank account. I have enough guilt over my own :p
But really, iPhone has that app where you hear a song and it tells you what it is, you click buy and poof, you own the album. It was just the background music at some store you walked by, and now you own the album. How cool is that?? Do kids today know how awesome it is now? Or have I just gotten to the point where I'm that old guy that says "You kids don't know how good you have it."? I remember my parents telling ME that, and I was all like 'what-ever'. Wow, progress is cool.
