iphone 4

Well I did it. Despite the reports of weird antenna issues I ordered my iPhone 4. The reason is simple. After upgrading my 3G to iOS4, the phone has been literally crawling. Texting is an effort in frustration. I have about a 1 second pause after typing each character. You can imagine how annoying this is when typing long sentences. Anyway, I’m excited. I played with a friend’s iPhone 4 over the weekend and it really is a beauty to behold. I look forward to being able to edit videos in iMovie, which I love, on my phone. Hopefully Verizon offering the phone come January will cause a lot of people to switch, freeing up a lot of AT&Ts bandwidth. Here’s hoping.

I was out until 1:30 last night doing to the East Village bar crawl to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I remember now why I don’t do that every weekend. When I was 29 it was easy, 39 not so much. Up today? Toy Story 3, the only movie I have been dying to see this summer (and the only one probably worth the ticket price).

I had some major drama last weekend when I found out my 3 year old MacBook (the cute black one) had somehow fallen off its shelf in my office and the LCD screen broke. The Apple store said it could be up to $750 to fix, so I did what any other Apple fan boy would do: I bought a new MacBook Pro. But hey, it came with a free iPod so how could I not?!? I don’t know what to name it. I feel I’ve exhausted all my cute computer names. My black MacBook was named Juice (as in Apple) and my iMac is named Jack (Jack the iMac—it rolls off of the tongue).

Coming up: I have to attend some Jazz concerts in the near future for school: probably the best homework assignment ever. The Vision Jazz festival starts tomorrow and there are a ton of interesting Jazz and Jazz-related events.

iPad

So apple released the iPad upon the world today. Seemed at first like the beautiful marriage of a kindle and an iPod touch. I still don’t understand the inability to multitask and the lack of any camera whatsoever. I think I’ll pass and wait to see what’s inside iPad 2.0.
