How the iPhone is changing everything

Here is a brief summery of my day:

1.  Today was my parents last day visiting in town and the only thing left on their shopping list was to get the iPhone for my brother and sister, back in Israel. Naturally we headed down to the new Apple store in the meatpacking district but surprisingly, they were out of stock (??? you have got to be kidding me). The guys at the Apple store suggested that we try online because apparently all the NY stores are out of iPhones...so, my parents left empty handed and disappointed: goodbye retail, hello e-tail.

2. After a full day of walking we decided to have a nice quiet dinner at home so we used www.seamlessweb.com to order in from our favorite Chinese place (The Cottage...yummy). I placed everyones' order online and 30 minutes later dinner was served.

3. After my folks left, I tuned in to my blog feeds to see what's up. A new image by David Armano, another fascinating vlog post by Tom about questioning authority, and an interesting post from the head of Zeus Jones about the necessary skills for being a strategic planner...this is something I've been interested in for a long time. cool.

4. In Zeus Jones's post he pointed out how brand strategy has moved to a new kind of model and shared a link to John Grant's book on Amazon.com, so I checked it out and decided to buy it - from my bed, using my iPhone. After I placed the order and received the confirmation I realized that I've just made my first mobile purchase (hip-hip-hooray).

5. Now, It's 2:09am....I'm still awake because I felt compelled to share all of these experiences on my blog - by writing this post using my iPhone.

6. and to think that this is just the beginning.
