Is There Anything the iPhone Can’t Do?
I ask that question slightly tongue-in-cheek, of course, even after oohing and aahing over Gizmodo’s recent unveil of the fourth-generation iPhone. But I also ask it with some degree of amazement for the age we live in, not to mention the ingenuity of software engineers. Thanks to an app I downloaded while at my son’s soccer game, I’ve now got a WordPress application allowing me to blog from my phone.
How I work on my iPhone is a little different than how I work on my laptop. My laptop is my office, so oftentimes, I think about the totality of what I do in running a firm. There’s Word and Excel and Tweet Deck, but there’s also Quick Books and MyTime and iCal.
On my iPhone, I tend toward more economical e-mail responses and directed searches. I also think about tasks I can do while caught in three or five minute waits. Sometimes, that’s enough for one simple blog post that stays focused and lets your readers in on one direct piece of info.
I’m still holding out, by the way, for an app that will clean my house.
