iPhone 3G
The iPhone is a story that has a few facets.
First there was getting a phone. In Canada we had to wait a year and a few days after the July 11, 2008 launch I phone Rogers and ordered one. Two days later it arrived. I plugged it into my mac, agreed to a few things and let is sync. VERY seamless and easy to set up and use. Rogers service was very good (aside from a few glitches in the billing which they politely fixed).
Second the phone itself. It is amazing. The functionality and features. FINALLY I have a phone that will sync seamlessly with my Mac address book.
Thirdly the app store. I am taking the perspective of a software developer who is approved for the iPhone Developer Program and has plans on building and selling iPhone applications. What they have created with the app store is revolutionary and awesome. Apple has put power to the developers. Thanks Apple.
