I am NOT a “tech-y person” and could give a hoot about the latest does-whatza-gizmo…give me a stick and some yarn and I’m a happy camper…but I admit, I do LOVE my iPhone for many MANY reasons….

So my husband called me yesterday while he was away on business and asked me if I’d like the black or white iPhone 4 — squEEEEEEEEEEEEE!  You mean we’re getting them!?!?!

Of course HE has to have it, which means to keep me from nagging him…a second iPhone purchase is in order, you know, to keep the peace :)

So excited since they announced all the new features just the other day.  My favorites being HD video recording/editing, a 5-megapixel camera with built-in LED flash and the retina display – “The pixel density is so high that the human eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels.”

So….I’m thinking the white iPhone 4 with a PINK bumper…

Here’s a little list about why this ONE GADGET does so much for me as a Mom and why I almost can’t live without it.

iLove my iPhone because…

• it keeps me connected (through the phone, text messages, Facebook etc.)…to my husband, my family & friends – living not-so-close to everyone I care about, that’s important to me
• PHOTOS!  It takes pretty awesome photos and since I always have it on me, I always also have a camera and never miss a moment — with the new HD video-recording…even better!
• I keep my grocery lists on there and add to it all week long or whenever I realize we’re out of something
• I keep my crochet/knitting patterns on there and never need to carry paper patterns or books around with me
• Weather, news and sports…I have my favorite APPS for each of these and it’s how I know what’s going on!
• recipes at my fingertips whenever I need them
• MUSIC! for whenever I feel like dancing – all my music is always there
• I actually use it as a flashlight (yes, there’s an app for that) to check on the iTwins at night – every. night.
• It’s an EXCELLENT SNOOZE BUTTON! Speaking of iTwins…it’s how I get a few minutes of extra sleep in the morning…I set it up with a coloring APP or flashcards for my two-year-old and he’ll sit quietly in bed next to me :)

Those are just a few of the things this amazing gadget does for me…now it’s not actually able to cook dinner or fold laundry for me, but Apple isn’t too far off ;) Oh and even though everyone complains about AT&T, I’ve never had a problem with service, even all the way out here in the sticks of Pennsylvania.

Pre-orders for the new iPhone 4 are being taken on June 15th and the iPhone 4 starts to ship on June 24th here in the US.

Yay.
