Is there anything this phone can’t do ?

I have no idea how I lived before I purchased my IPhone 3G. From finding my way anywhere I need to go with turn by turn directions, to listening to my favorite internet radio stations in my car this revolutionary device has become my best friend.
I mean really ,I burned Sin City to iTunes then to my phone and about 4 other great movies with plenty of space available for other apps, photos etc. It comes in handy whenever I get stuck at the mechanics for a couple of hours and just don’t want to think about how much Im about to get screwed for my car. When it comes to applications your able to download, nothing competes to the iPhone. Sometimes I think about all the phones I previously owned and thought were so great, and I just want slap myself. All Im really saying is that I was trying to save up for a laptop for a while and now that I have an iPhone, what’s the point. I can pretty much do everything I would want to do on a laptop on my phone. I feel like this phone is taking us one step closer to the future. How can anyone possibly top it off, it would have to be something really advanced or high-tech maybe holagram type phone that can read your thoughts? I don’t know that seems a little far fetched.
On another note, out of all the applications I have downloaded or purchased I have to say that the one our company developed is definitely on my top 5. The name of it is GotYourBAC and it basically is an app that measures your blood alcohol level. You add your favorite drinks to your list and every time you take a shot or have a beer you drag and drop the drink in. If you go over your level calculated by your age and weight a little icon pops up telling you to call a cab. Click on the icon and it will determine the closest cab company to you through Google maps. I mean really does it get any cooler than that. Needless to say I have had to call a cab more than a couple of times, but just knowing that I’m really not able to drive is a safe feeling and makes you think twice about even considering getting behind the wheel. I don’t believe it is out just yet but from what I understand is that it will be available on the app store very soon.
Lets talk about music for a bit, I HATE the radio stations around my area which is Raleigh NC. It is all just crap if you ask me. With the Pandora app and many others like FLY CAST or AOL radio I can listen to some of the best hits out straight through my car speakers. If you have AUX plug in your car all you need is the cord and your good to go. If your real old school “like me” and you have a tape deck there is also a solution for that. Its called an IMonster cable and its a tape with a cable that plugs directly to your phone, sounds just as good trust me. If you can’t stand annoying radio stations that play the same music over and over with some of the most corny DJ’s , than you need to get this phone.
Thanks Apple !!!
