iPhone4s

fuzzy self-portrait of me and the blog topic ---> ---> ---> camera plussed!

 Kindly enough, my momma did get me the iPhone4s after my bday.  I'm enjoying it pretty thoroughly.

my $30 [target] case....thats already saved
this phone a dozen times probably.

New features (vs 4, not my crappy ol' 3g)...
1. SIRI
2. nice nice camera
3. better processor apparently.  Not that I can tell with ATT's 3g service.
4. I haven't started using iCloud yet...

Most used apps (besides the obvious)...

1. [calendar] - my personal calendar, Chris' calendar, Jeff's calendar, my school calendar
2. Instagram - i have been getting to writing a blog on this wonderfully addictive photography app..
3. Camera+ - good $1 spent.
4. [Reminders] - very awesome new default.  Remembering things better than I ever have before.  Also a perfect addition to go alongside Siri.  Anytime I just happen to think of something I need to do, I whip out my phone, hold the button and tell Siri, "remind me to do [this] when I get home."  Fantastic. 
5. The weather channel
6. Ebay
7. Facebook
8. Pandora - until I decide I am ready to subscribe spotify.
9. mooch - because I owe and am owed lots of $$$
10. Pic stitch
11. [Maps] - so essential yet I know so many people who take it for granted (Mom, Jeff).
12. Epocrates
13. iBooks - never buying a textbook ever again [heart]
14. Mint.com - Very freaking important to keep track of.
15. Wikipedia
16. Yahoo! Sportacular - better than scorecenter
17. G-Whizz! - mostly to get to google docs, previously reader, quickly
18. Craigslist
19. Latitude
20. TV guide
21. Walgreens - we scan our barcodes with our phones to get our refills.
22. Groupon + LivingSocial
23. yelp!
24. then Saia's always got a multitude of apps that are getting pulled up every day

Siri is very impressive.  I have come to have high expectations.  I ask Siri a lot of things that you'd think it couldn't do.  The things I asked Siri that made me realize how amazing it is:

1.  Tell me what this song is called.
2. When is my dentist appointment?
3. Where is the closest Indian restaurant?
4. What is the weather tomorrow?
5. What is the weather tomorrow in Baghdad?
6. What does apple's stock cost? Should I buy a share? [I'm sorry, I cannot do that for you]
7. How do I get to the closest notary?
8. How do I get to Scissorhands salon?
9. Tell Jeffrey Cornwell I'm going to get Isaiah.
10. Wake me up in 30 minutes.
11. What does rambunctious mean? [I found this for you: Wolfram Alfram article].
12. Read my text message.

OK it goes on and on. It won't open apps though, which is lame. You tell it to open Pandora and it tells you Pandora's opening price.

Hope to catch up on all my blog plans soon.  On psych and have way more time than I know what to do with.  So much time that I can let myself procrastinate with all the things on my to-do list.  There's also a good chance I will finish buying things for Xmas before thanksgiving gets here.  So family- if you were going to make a list- better send it before its too late.  It might already be.
