Way back in the 70's the coolest thing about a phone was getting an extension for the coil cord connecting the hand receiver to the phone. Having that extension would allow you to walk all the way into the next room without having to carry the phone. Wow! What technology.

That wasn't the only cool thing to come along in the 70's in the way of telephone advancement. Remember when rotary phones were old school and the new technology was push buttons!! We were so advanced it wasn't even funny. And to think we didn't even know that slim line phones with push buttons on the receiver were just around the corner.

Fast forward to 2008 and the phone has evolved into the cell phone which has evolved into the most important piece of electronics in the modern world. You may be laughing and saying to yourself that the computer is the most important piece of electronics in the world today. Well, as all iPhones owners know, the iPhone is a computer!

The Tuckers should be known as the iFamily. At last count we had 10 iPods and 4 iPhones. We are definitely Apple Geeks and own four Mac computers.

The iPhone is the coolest piece of technology ever invented. It's a calendar, an address book, a camera, a photo album, a MP3 player, a video player, a text messenger, an email system, a weather forecaster, a calculator, a GPS system, an electronic map, an answering machine, a clock, an alarm, a stop watch, a notepad, an Internet browser and a phone! But that's not all! With the latest software, the iPhone has become thousands of more applications.

My newest favorite application, shown on my new iPhone in a photo taken by my old iPhone, is called iChoose. Have you been driving around trying to decide on where to eat? Can't decide if you should buy something or not? Are the kids unable to settle an argument?

iChoose solves all of those problems and more. Use the heads or tails coin or the yes/no button and instantly make life decisions that were once so hard to make. With the touch of your finger watch as the coin flips from heads to tails over and over again until it lands on the only probable choice. It is the ultimate decision maker, restaurant chooser, argument solver and all around fun application.

If you don't have iChoose get it for free. If you don't have an iPhone, call me, I have a slightly used 40 foot coil extension cord available for your handheld receiver.
