Not just another iPhone blog
I found an interesting application that I download on my macbook pro that is coming on the iPhone shortly. If you are interested in watching international news channels (BBC, ITN, CSPAN, Bloomberg, AlJazeera English) from your mac, pc, or linux box or your iphone (future), Live Station should be interesting to you.

Since I switched from a Bold to an iPhone lately, I had to revisit why I did it. Email push cannot be replicated on the iPhone….nobody does email better than Blackberry period fullstop. However there are other things to consider and love on the iPhone.
1) The App Store – In 3 days, I have downloaded and installed 40 applications on the iPhone. Take that Blackberry. And some of the applications are actually helpful. I will reviewing a few of these geared for us corporate suites to come. Applications like Weather Channel, Flight Schedules, AOL Radio for those boring waits at the airport, and on and on. Take that Blackberry. 10,000 applications on the iPhone on the App Store. WOW!
2) Audio Options – WebWorker talked about this a few weeks ago and it deserves another look. Switching between bluetooth devices, speakerphone, my car bluetooth, and phone could not be easier on the blackberry. This never worked well on my Curve or Bold.

3) Dialing shortcuts – If you are like me, you have about 30 numbers you call all the time. Your boss, your wife, voicemail…Dialing shortcuts are great and quick and elegant.

4) Turning on / off 3G – on AT&T, you cannot do this with the Bold. Why would AT&T not allow the ability to turn off 3G to save some battery? No problems with on the iPhone. Without 3G on, the battery isn’t actually too bad….
5) Awesome SMS – if you are a textr….no better device than the iPhone for SMS (text messages)
A million blogs about the iPhone and very little that is useful to us corporate suits. If you are using a iphone in the “enterprise” and want to use the iPhone, you may find the information useful or maybe not.
