I haven’t turned my laptop on since the iPhone 3GS came out. I really do a lot of WORK on my iPhone. With the Documents To Go app and Quickoffice app, and the AWESOME browser, and the best email on the planet. I pretty much have everything I need.

Has anyone checked to see if someone has created a voice recognition that would be bluetooth and type words that you say? I mean they have the voice activated calling on my phone (not the iphone, my iphones being shipped now) so wouldn’t they be able to make something like that?

The iphone has pretty much reached the end of it’s design. The only way it will drastically change again is if it used a roll up display to reduce it to the size of a pen. Now imagine that this device can be paired up with 3D glasses, allowing the pen to act as a remote pointing device… and i do mean pointing, because you will be able to point at anything bluetooth enabled to activate a feature… perhaps to discover special deals advertised via the bluetooth network. Now imagine the ibook has evolved to dime novel size as a slate tablet (in response to the netbook), which you can touch to draw on using photoshop. Combined with the glasses you can finally navigate 3D websites (via low tech shutters in the glasses) by tilting your head, looking at a link, and blinking. Unfortunately in the future the MacBook Pro, having shoddy NVIDIA processors in it, is shunned by the public at large.

I've just read this post and I had to respond, as I've only had an iPhone for 4 days and it never leaves my side. My wife used to moan about my 'lover', my laptop, and she now complains about my new lover, which has taken my attention away from my laptop.

I think I made a wise move by getting her an iphone as well, so we both have new lovers!

Unfortunately, I have to use my laptop for work, since I work in graphic design. But if I’m not working, I’m not using it. My iPhone handles everything I need to do online, including blogging.

No. It is great to have a mobile internet device when in a pinch and you need to see something on the internet or play a game…but it is not a replacement. If I know I’m going to need net access I’ll bring along my netbook with my tethering cable (which I keep in my netbook’s sleeve at all times).

I also use my laptop less now since I have the iphone 3GS. It seem that the iphone is more fun to use. Even using the onscreen keyboard is fun because Im trying to master it with as few mistakes as possible.

My iPhone has definately replaced my laptop. In fact, I am in the market to buy a netbook, but really what will if give me that my iPhone does not.

I sync over air my calendar, email, contacts with free tools provided by Google (Google Sync) and Apple.

The same goes for my documents. Since I use Google Docs for spreadsheets, documents and presentations, all of those can be access and edited on my iPhone.

I am an Internet Social Media Marketing manager for many clients so most of all the sites that I regularly need to access, all have apps build for them for the iPhone.

Lastly, I do my banking, invoicing, keyword bid management, blogging, social networking, and analytics analysis all on my iPhone.

I am thinking twice about purchasing the netbook. Maybe I will wait til Apple develops one.
