I’ve never had a computer that I’ve been happier to own than my iPhone.

Yeah, I know it’s not technically a computer but given what it does for me, it’s close enough.

Yesterday, I went through the Apps Store and updated all my software and got a few more things. Now, if this thing had a keyboard, I’m not sure that I’d use my MacBook very often.

The Trinity
First is the WordPress client for the iPhone. This lets me write posts from anyplace. The client is a little buggy, but it hasn’t lost data for me and that’s good enough at the moment. I really expect it to get better, given the growing user base for both WordPress and iPhones…so I’m happy with what I got and the price (free!).

(I promise that I’m not writing these from the meeting we’re in right now…unless you are reading this on your phone.)

Next, I have Twitteriffic for checking and updating Twitter. At first, I loved Twitter but as I added more people, I started to feel the drag of it. When people post really good updates, as I think http://twitter.com/downdb does, I’m happy to have it. But when I subscribe to an acquaintance or less and get two dozen posts in a day that are responses to people I don’t follow and don’t say anything more than “LOL”…that’s when I get tired of twitter.

(I promise you that I’m not tweeting/twittering/twhatevering about your silly sweater from the meeting we’re in right now…especially if you are reading this on your phone in this very same meeting.)

Finally, I’ve got the facebook app. Ah, facebook. Time waster extraordinaire. What more can I say?

(I promise you that I’m not updating my status to say “is falling asleep at the conference table across from the guy in the goofy sweater” right now. Really!)

Bonus!
I also downloaded the new Google app for the iPhone that has voice recognition. It’s not too bad, but if you try to search for “Matthew Bakaitis” consistently heard “Matthew Crisis”.

Is there a Matthew Crisis in this country? Why didn’t anybody tell me?
