Farewell, belt pack

      2 Comments on Farewell, belt pack

As anticipated, the belt pack camera is gone. Well… okay, it’s not quite “gone”; it’s in my briefcase. But the point is, it’s not on my belt! The iPhone camera is officially my new point-and-shoot of first resort. And those horrible grainy Sprint cell-phone photo moblog posts (e.g.) are a thing of the past.

Farewell, belt pack

I realize this is old hat to long-time smartphone users, but it feels remarkable, and liberating, to have a single device suddenly and simultaneously replace my phone, camera, iPod and iPod touch. My pockets feel so empty!

Also: I LOVE the ability to listen to East Tennessee’s Own WDVX on my morning commute… in Denver. This morning, I caught the tail end of Freddy Smith’s show, including the gospel set. That was a daily staple for me when we lived in Knoxville. Nostalgia!

I’ll have more to say about the phone at some point, but for now, I’ll leave you with a w00t! w00t!

P.S. Flickr says my “photo was taken 2 hours ago using an Apple iPhone 3G.” Um, that’s not quite right! It was taken like 5 minutes ago, with an Apple iPhone 4. 🙂

    We’re in the same building! I’m on the 28th floor. You must be 15-ish?

    Brendan, are you out of the weather business? Hoping for an Invest 93L report…though unlikely anything of note will happen other than delay on the BP relief well .
