IPhone Experiment

A few hours ago, just as I’m heading out of town for a week, my Macbook crashes. Nothing but the grey screen of death.

I am now without my computer for at least a week.

I figure rather than get upset I’m going to run a little experiment. I’m only going to use my IPhone.

I will be using only my IPhone for the next week. I will use it for my blogging (writing this post at the airport now), Twitter, e-mail, Facebook, LinkedIn, feedreader, blog comments, web-surfing and more. It will be my only device.

I’m curious to know if the type pad will get me frustrated, especially for longer posts and e-mails. I’m also curious how I’ll feel about the browser speed for surfing and commenting.

I use my IPhone for many of these things now, but mostly in a mobile capacity. It will be interesting to see how I feel after a week of just the IPhone.

I will update you with my thoughts when it’s over and I get my beloved Mac back.

Do you think I will miss it?

    OMG! I know how frustrating this is for you- I hope you can survive until Fri ): . Hang in there Jim.
  • I definitely think you'll miss it. As I'm sure I've told you before, I'm an ex-iPhone user. I use my old iPhone as the best iPod ever. I refuse to use anything but Apple products for music.

    But the e-mail on the iPhone is awful and the typing is 14x slower (metric from my outbound e-mail usage over the 12 month period I used it, compared to the prior 12 month period with my BlackBerry).

    Best of luck during your test!
  • I'm curious how it goes. This is coming from my iPhone. I have recently switched to a Netbook for all my traveling and on-site client work. But, I'm not sure I could go with less.
  • Will definately let you know. Will write an update post.

    So far so interesting.
