Ok, So I've had my iPhone long enough now for Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field to wear off. Even after the initial blush has worn off, I love it and find it more a part of my daily work and play all the time. Micky and I went on a trip to Texas a couple of weeks ago. The Google Maps feature was indispensable. We wanted to find a Birkenstock outlet in Memphis, and the iPhone pointed them all out. We wanted to find a Chili's somewhere between Texarkana and Dallas, and were sent to one way off the highway that we never would have known to exist. In both cases, we simply punched the address into the Nav system on our Honda CRV, and we were routed there instantly. It made our travel a lot less stressful. In addition, I was trying to help broker a church property purchase on the road. I was able to view .doc files sent to me by e-mail, vastly reducing my stress level. Another wonderful thing has been Google Reader's optimized blog reader. I always have interesting reading available to me wherever I go.
Still loving it and feeling a lot better about my initial 29 hours in retrospect....

When in the hecks did ya'll get a CRV? I'm utterly jealous! Jason and I have been batting around the idea of either that or the Rav4 after the tracker finally dies. What made you go Honda instead of Toyota again? Since we'll have to wait a couple of years and find a used one, I'm interested to hear how the car does over time.

Maggs,
Toyotas are great, but we have a long-running positive track record with Honda - plus the CRV fit every criteria we had - room, comfort and gas mileage.
