It’s been about five months since the launch of the “iPhone”:http://www.apple.com/iphone/ and it’s still humming along in the media. Apple has a “series of commercials”:http://www.apple.com/iphone/ads where everyday people explain how they use their iPhones. Here’s a list of how I’ve used mine:

# Looked up driving directions to unfamiliar places
# Received the latest traffic reports (with the help of “Twitter”:http://www.twitter.com/)
# Proved myself right or wrong in movie trivia
# Conducted “on the fly” research and purchased a digital camera
# Showed a store representative exactly what type of boots I was looking for
# Received suggested book titles for my reading tastes (with the help of “LibraryThing”:http://www.librarything.com/) while at the bookshop
# Looked up movie times and sent an email with the schedule to a friend

The possibilities of what else I could do is limited by only my imagination. I could use the iPhone for quick visual reminders by snapping photos. I could adhere to a more paperless office routine by using Notes and forwarding them to my work email. I could make better use of lists at “Listingly”:http://www.listingly.com for personal and work to-do’s. I can not only look up movie showtimes, but could purchase tickets too!

Now, many of the things I can do on the iPhone, I could do on another cell phone. However, I’ve never used other smartphones as much as I have made use of the iPhone. It was fun stuff on the day I got it and it remains fun stuff to this day, although I’ve been using less of the Youtube and iPod features than when the iPhone was shiny new.
