THE FUTURE IS AWESOME!

Reilly went above and beyond the call of duty yesterday, and scored me an iPhone 4 while standing in line for his own. You’re allowed two per customer and he was only there to buy one, so he bought the second for me and delivered it to my office. YAY! Reilly is super!

I set it up last night, and have been tinkering with it all day. I also did a mass purge of applications; scaling down to 185 from an all-time high of 215. I spent a good amount of time rearranging my icons and folders (again) to make it it a little easier to locate items. Once all that was done, I took a giant leap into the terrifying: I jailbroke my phone so I could install MyWi and My3G. These two apps will allow me to a) turn my iPhone into a wi-fi hotspot, allowing me to tether my iPad to it from anywhere and b) use Facetime over 3G. The second is really just a novelty, as I don’t really talk on the phone let alone have any interest in having someone watch me do it – but the first was the entire reason I bought the setup I have now. I have the 6GB data plan that I’ve never come remotely close to using up, and now that I can tether the iPad to it .. the potential is limitless and kind of awesome.

I am tickled several shades of happy about this all. I wasn’t expecting to get my hands on an iPhone 4 until the end of August if at all – Reilly is totally my hero of the month. Hooray for awesome people!

I named my phone Atomic Broccoli.
