Welcome back! Where were you?

As regards iPhones for business —

Right now I’m traveling with SalesGuys #1 and #2. One has an iPhone, one has a Blackberry.

I on the other hand have a retro clamshell phone for making and receiving calls. I don’t even “text”; I realize I’m the last working human being in the world that doesn’t “text”. (I have my laptop too, of course.)

I’m getting more done because I have less thoughtitis interruptus. Mr. Blackberry and Mr. Iphone get a *ping!* about every three seconds, it seems. And they HAVE TO LOOK! JUST LIKE PAVLOV’S DOG! They seem biologically incapable of ignoring that *ping!*. I think I even caught one of ‘em drooling when the *ping!* came in. :-)

Kind of comical, actually.

On a serious note, I can’t deny the sheer power of the iPhone. Maybe someday soon — looks like we’ll be developing some biz apps that would benefit.

I turned off the audio alert on most notifications after about a week of owning my iPhone. As you note, way too distracting.
