I am enjoying my iPhone – at this particular point in my life for some reason having the ease of use and the overall hardware and software support seems quite nice. I can appreciate some of the technical nicities of the Android family, but here is one case that I think Apple did it right. At this point the only thing that the Android Family – Android, Droid, Nexus, offer in common is the operating system. Each of the phones has a slightly different form factor and since I haven’t actually had a nexus in hand, would guess that since it is made by HTC it has at least one non-standard plug. 
.
Since the iPhone and the iPod Touch are virtually identical in form factor – hardware designed to work with them is pretty universal and thus with that large a market – readily available in many shapes, sizes and colors. In the past I have critisized Apple for the limitations, in this case I have to openly admit that it works and have found that I am able to get what I need quickly and reasonably.
I have been using the iPhone as a book reader and as my alarm clock – a quick app and a small set of speakers on my bedstand and my reader quickly turns into a clock radio. I read in bed (love the backlit screen – doesn’t bother anyone when I read) and when I finish reading at night I put the iPhone in the speakers, which charge it up and also let it wake me the next morning.
