The hype over the iPhone is pretty insane at this point. (T-minus a week and a day now.) People are talking about camping out in front of Apple stores and AT&T will close its stores down late in the afternoon, to open them back up at exactly 6pm Friday... just the time the phone is scheduled to be available. (Remember all those holiday stories of fights at Wal Mart over cheap DVD player? So cynical, I know.) And I should confess, I want one, too. I'm just way too cheap to actually buy it at this point. Maybe next year. Anyway, every company and their grand-companies are coming out with new models to compete (whether they can or not is another story). And that's only after the announcements of phones that stream live TV, share videos, track you (your kids, spouses, etc), offer directions, find nearby people to date, play music (duh), surf the web, email, IM, take photos, blah, blah, blah. I'm sure there's a show in here somewhere. I use my phone primarily to talk, occasionally IM, and every now and again to take a picture and shoot it to someone. Of course, it CAN do more, I just tend not to unleash it. So all you cell phone fanatics... what can your phone do? (And do you actually use it?)
