Apple Ware

The Apple iPhone is designed to make life easier for the traveling office worker. It’s possible to do more on this device than any others in the past. Unfortunately, there are also more (and better) games available for the iPhone. It’s applications like these that make the technology less productive than they should be.

Personally, I couldn’t imagine paying several hundred dollars on what would essentially be a game boy if you filled it with all the new games. For that kind of money, I want something that I can actually use and not just to keep myself distracted. I’m sure that consumers demanded the games, but what is the purpose.

If you are going to spend a fortune on technology then at least make sure that technology is able to earn back some of its keep. Sitting around playing Tetris will not bring the money flowing in – and if someone does manage to find a way to make this happen then I want a piece of the action.

Keep the games away from the office supplies and you will be amazed at how much more you can accomplish. Spend your time (and memory) on something more valuable. Just say no to clogging the iPhone with child’s play.

Apple always seems to be the best choice, but the least utilized in the electronics department.

In college I had the privilege of working on an Apple computer. Designing newsletters and flyers was quick and easy and quite painless. But Apple was the Beta of personal computers. It was slow making its way into mainstream use, and now it’s doing the same thing with home entertainment.

When I broke down and spent real money on a personal computer, I stayed away from Apple. Even though I KNEW it was the best choice for what I wanted to do, it was not the best choice for other things I needed to do over the internet.

Now I’m moving into the family room and the Mac debate is back on. Although I know that Apple tends to make superior products, the Mac Mini just does not do it for me. Even though there is a way to make a Mac my home entertainment center, I’m not sure I want to go to the hassle or experience.

Apple hit it big with the iPod and the iPhone. Even the personal computers are making it into the mainstream. Now Apple only has to meet my family room needs and I might finally be happy.
