My Iphone 3G

I love my IPhone!!! There .. I said it . Having been raised in the PC camp, I have always been a staunch defender of the PC and its various platforms ( Linux, Windows, Windows Mobile etc)over and above the Apple Mac. Why ? My answer is simple .. Pure ignorance. The fact is that it is a great platform to work with, easy and simple, yet you can get into its innards and be as leet as you like. ( no I am not converting and no I am not being a fan boy either)

So I found myself succumbing to the wills of Steve Jobs and his second incarnation of the IPhone .The IPhone "3G". I needed a new music player anyway .. and being the lover of "GADGE" that I am (thanks for coining the word Jason Bradbury.. well I heard it from him first), I decided to fork out the stupid monies for the 16GB 3G and subscribe to the £35 a month contract.

So, here I am almost a year on from my purchase. Software version 3 is in sight and guess what .... One of the most exciting things to come out is .. wait for it .. " COPY AND PASTE" .. Yep you read that correctly. I went to one of my favourite sites Wikipedia, and pulled an excerpt from the history of copy and paste "Apple Computer widely popularized the computer-based cut-and-paste paradigm through the Lisa (1981) and Macintosh (1984) operating systems and applications." So in short. Apple, who were one of the originators ( 28 years ago) of the copy and paste functionality as we know it today, have taken 2 phone revisions and x number of software revisions to implement that functionality into one of their newer devices .. Somehow, they have made it seem like a huge deal, and get all IPhone users excited about it . Hats off to Apple Marketing .. I don't know what else to say except roll on release 4.0 with the revolutionary CUT and paste functionality .. I cant wait :)
