My Go To Device
It’s official, my iPhone has taken over as my go-to device. No longer do I reach for my laptop for simple tasks, nor turn on the television for others… the iPhone can do most of what I need. Some would say that it’s only for personal purposes… well, at work, we use an Exchange server and the iPhone integrates great with it.
My Blackberry Curve, which I’ve spoken about as a fantastic device, has not been turned on since I’ve gotten my 3G. I’m going to be selling it – have the original box and it’s less than 60 days of usage as I had to buy a replacement. Know someone who wants to buy it? Contact me.
I know I’ve been publicly bearish on mobile marketing but I absolutely understand where the future of computing is going and I’m loving it. I believe marketing on the iPhone (or other mobile device) should be an extension of an online strategy… depending on the audience you [as a marketer] are looking to engage, marketing without a mobile component may be detrimental.
Last night, I used my iPhone to Tweet (to Twitter), take pics of my grandparents holding my son, send text messages, Google the street address of a sushi restaurant in Bronxville, and of course, chat with a colleague. All with one device. The [mobile] future is going to be pretty awesome.
