We know the iphone is multifunctional tool used for many things. But have you ever ran into a point where, it's not really important. But it's made things easier in life?

For example:

Today at my local starbucks it was rock n' roll night, and they had a trivia question, and if you answered it right, you got a free drink.

The question was like, who replaced Bon Scott of AC/DC after he died?

I didnt know lol. So i hid around the corner, and I went on safari and wikipedia the answer.

Went to the counter. And asked if it was Brian Johnson. And it was, and so i got a free drink

Anyone else ever ran into a time when you could the iPhone for something handy?

There was this time last week, when I needed to make a phone call, and my wife told me that I could use the device for just that purpose.

Turns out it worked!!!

Me and my wife were out of town 2 weeks ago and needed to find a Key Bank. I tap the Map icon typed in Key Bank and it lead us straight to it. I boasted for about 4 hours to her as to why my iphone 3g was the best. She had to finally admit it and stop calling me a cornball for being consumed by the device.

Directions and movie times mostly for me.

But the most important was slaying those aliens with my PhoneSaber.

I like the drink hustle. Def. the internet for trivia, bc i hate not knowing something and would always run to the nearest computer for the answer bc i have to know, but now i can do it from my phone. And i never knew how bored i was before, and now find myself in many dead time spots where i need to play a game or check up on the weirdest news i can find. And as for emergencies, well sometimes my girlfriend starts annoying me when im watching a game or something and now i just pull out my iphone and launch the arcade app and she plays the matching game in the corner for hours like some mental patient from the cucoos nest. ITS AWESOME!!!

That's why it's multifunctional guys, the features are really great. I'm always a fan of this wonderful gadget.

My girlfriend was buying shoes and while she was deciding if she wanted to pay $135 for them, I found the same shoes at another store for 90 bucks using safari. Of course, we used GPS to find the store.

Yesterday afternoon I was at an Air Show, I knew that a thunderstorm was approaching, but I didn't think about it. Until I started to see a black line of clouds waaay in the distance. BTW, there was around 12,000 people there. I pulled out my iPhone and went to my Fizz Weather App and checked out the local radar loop. Sure enough, there was a strong line of t-storms headed our way very fast. So I told my dad we need to go get cover right now. So we headed over to the nearest cover we could find. So we hid under an Air Force C-130 jumbo jet (The first attached pic is me standing by the jet's landing gear before it started to rain). People had no clue about the approaching t-storm, most of everyone got soaked. But thanks to my iPhone we were sparred. The second attached image is a picture I took of the f-16 after the storm.
