This is my 1st time to use iPhone to write blog… (of course with post-processing on desktop)
As a heavy computer geek, I am really familiar using keyboard, mouse and screen no matter how large/small they are. However as I spend lots of time moving (THSRC, MRT, driving, flight, …) in my daily life, it is good to make good use short period of times to do something.
Everyday I have to read/write emails (gmail), read news (google reader, or some other local news), say something on my social network (irc, twitter), prepare tech docs/slides and response requests on IMs (msn, skype, …). Becides those heavy tasks should be finished on computer (mostly for those need reference and well-organizing docs), I can quickly handle them on my iPhone.
Of course using big terminal can get better efficiency, for example, I can read mail/news faster and type faster… But it’s really hard to open my bag, open my laptop, get onto internet and start working in 3 minutes… Using iPhone still has some problems…
- Not so good 3G/HSDPA quality than other PDA phones/3G modem
- Too short battery life, I have to bring an external battery for longer usage
- Not so stable web browser
- Mail encoding problem for Big-5 mails (charset info problem in mail header)
- I have to jailbreak to get Chuyin Chinese input method, 3G modem and some other useful functions, however the phone becomes more unstable
My next move should be, to reduce weight of my bag again :)
