Man, the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field was cranked up to the max on Saturday. Despite my publicly stated intention not to succumb to the siren song of the iPhone, I drove over to the Apple Store in Albuquerque and picked one up on Saturday. I'm in San Jose today and, having been in two airports, one hotel lobby, and one hotel room with this device already, I can say the WiFi works great, the functionality is very, very well implemented, the quality is high, and the magnetic appeal is insane. I must have demoed this thing for 25 people yesterday in my travels (including one very geeky Southwest flight attendant who was completely entranced.
As the Treo is on its way back to my former employer, the iPhone joins the N95 in my gadget bag as one of two converged devices I'm currently carrying. The N95 supports tethering to my MacBook and Tablet PC (the iPhone doesn't) and has a better camera and of course the GPS. The iPhone has the allure of a completely new and typically brilliant Apple UI, great form factor, outstanding web browsing, and excellent iTunes integration.
