I'm afraid this post has nothing at all to do with VoIP. However, like the rest of the world, Junction Networks is deep in the grip of iPhone mania. Yesterday, the Engineering department had a physical engineering problem to solve. We ordered a white board to put up in our conference room. We needed to put the white board on the wall. And, of course, we're unapologetic geeks, which means we're chronically unprepared for dealing with such mundane real world challenges. We didn't have a tape measure. Or a hammer. But we did have several willing bodies and two iPhones with the Dual Level program, which uses the tilt functionality of the iPhone to tell you if your iPhone is level. So we stuck the iPhones in the tray of the white board and lifted it up. We made marks on the wall. We got a screwdriver and pounded some nails into the wall with the blunt end. Our white board is now being frantically scribbled on, which is a much more comfortable endeavor when it's on the wall and not sitting on the floor. O iPhone, you are a simply brilliant device. Your possibilities seem endless. As for my personal use, the only thing that I haven't been able to find is a Tasks program that rivals the task management on Palm OS or an Outlook/Blackberry solution. I, along with lots of other netizens who have posted about their frustration, would just love an app that synced with Apple's Mail and Calendar Tasks. Recurrence is a big missing feature in the many task programs that are out there. But it's hard to actually want to look at things in a To Do list when there are so many other things the iPhone can do. I've been reading books with Stanza, playing games that I haven't seen since childhood, updating the social networking sites I'm involved in (which I rarely logged into before, but now update almost daily since I can do it while waiting for my train), giggling at the portable LOLcats and using aSleep as a white noise generator and meditation aid. I've spent about $10 in the App Store since I started using it, which feels like a steal for all the extra functionality I've added. And this is all in a device that's also a MP3 player and a phone. The sheer creativity of the apps in the App Store have been really inspiring - I certainly never thought I'd be using a phone as an accurate level. I can't wait to see what else people think up to turn my phone into the best Swiss Army knife I've ever owned.
