Let’s face it. You’ve always wanted that iPhone so you got it when you had the chance. You probably used the rationale that it would be a tool for your business, and that kind of thinking is always good. But has the iPhone always been an invaluable tool for business? Perhaps not. With the new upgrade, iPhone 3.0, however, this phone has become “business-friendlier.”
One, you can now copy and paste. Yup, the older version didn’t have this feature, making it virtually useless for notes and documents. I wonder why Apple didn’t think of including this feature in the original version?
Two, you can now use a landscape keyboard for other apps. This was doable in Safari from day one. However, other apps didn’t have this capability until now. For those with “fat fingers,” this is certainly a godsend.
Three, you can search more easily with Spotlight. Business contacts? No problemo. Meeting notes? Use Spotlight.
Four, you can find your phone in case you misplace it or lose it. Gadgets are susceptible to being lost. Either people tend to forget where they placed them or others “borrow” them. The iPhone is perhaps one of the most coveted gadgets these days, so it is quite easy to see how one can get lost. With the new feature of being able to track the phone down through the Internet, security is much better. Now you can rest easy that your business contacts will be retrievable.
There are lots more to be had with this new upgrade. If you don’t have an iPhone and you’ve been looking for a reason to get one, you don’t have to wait anymore!
