Yesterday I got to play with an iPhone. I think that I would buy one if the following things change:<\/p>\n

· Ability to get photos off of it via Bluetooth (OBEX?), or some method other than simply syncing with iPhoto or via email.
\n· Ability to upload photos via Safari.
\n· Ability to use the phone as a network device for data access via from another device. Either as a BT modem or network device.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The interface is very very slick, and it’s pleasant to use. Google Maps on it is a dream. However, it doesn’t do the couple things I want.<\/p>\n

Danielle and I took an Amtrak train from Birmingham, MI to Ann Arbor, MI. We wandered around Ann Arbor, ate at Zingerman’s, bought a few things, met up with Kate and Ben, and then took the train home. It was $72 round trip for the two of us with business class seats. I have a few complaints about the service, but generally it was all right. I don’t know if I’d go via that route again, but it was nice to see the trip between the the two towns from a different perspective.<\/p>\n

When at Zingerman’s I ate a very tasty sandwich plied with some high quality, tasty, smoked bacon. It also included lettuce, tomato, avocado, and green chilis.<\/p>\n

Photos of all of this will likely come later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
