Current Quandary

Just a quick update (for those who’ve asked) about my life using all-Apple technology: LOVE IT! The iPhone is a beautiful thing to look at and to use. In fact, if I thought I could do it I’d have baked this iCake in its honor:

I’m not that talented, but I did bake this much simpler beauty, layered with lemon custard and topped with cream cheese frosting.

Bake it, photographed it and email it all by myself.

Okay, so I had some help from my niece who will soon be majoring in culinary arts at Johnson & Wales.  I did, however, take the photo all by myself on my iPhone and emailed it lickitysplit.

So far, my all-Apple world is nearly exactly as I dreamed it would be. My emails, calendar and contacts sync magically between iPhone and iMac. The one exception is my email account from my business website. It arrives on both devices as unread unless I’ve deleted it and doesn’t show replies, etc. I think the fix would be to forward my website email account to the Mobile Me account, but then I’m afraid when I reply it’ll look like it’s coming from my Mobile Me address instead of my business address (thus defeating the entire looking-professional point of having a website). My only other hitch is finding what I need to use the iPod portion of the iPhone in my car (the phone works via bluetooth). But I know the guys at the Apple store will help if I pop in, or I can call AppleCare. The people are very helpful in Apple world.

The only piece of the Apple pie that I’m missing now is the iPad. I ordered the 3G version, which isn’t out until later this month. It feels very odd to be, for once in my life, an Early Adopter (aka Geek). Did you see this week’s episode of Modern Family? Poor Phil. I feel his pain.
