My iPhone is justified, yet again, pt. III

My dream, or at least a big dream in life, is to eventually live on The Big Island be it full or part time, and in theory my chosen professsions should enable me to work anywhere. One of my professions being the manufacturer of luggage decals. My iPhone is just a part of the package enabling the mobile lifestyle and imagine my glee, after I finally regained a few ATT bars so close to the Wai Opae pond, upon discovering I could fill an online order placed on carouselno3.com--from my vacation in Hawaii. Cool! Now there is no way in hades I would have ventured into an Internet cafe during a vacation and my order would have sat around, pissing my customer off, for two weeks. But my customer will get his goods and I have the satisfaction of knowing my iPhone is indeed the work/productivity/life-enhancing tool I intended it to be. And in this revelation I'm inching closer to my ultimate dream...

Viccolo pizza, jury summons, and an iPhone

When the Alameda Superior Court called me in for jury duty in October it dawned on me that postponing would be in my employers best interest.

Pull out the iPhone and access the e-juror site in the comfort of my kitchen. Did it do the trick? Heck yeah... I was able to defer my servitude for another six months and heat up a delicious chipotle-chicken pizza in a timely manner.

iPhone access to delivery service website saves butt

So, my little toy saved my arse by enabling me to recover my account number while mailing a package to an account today. I had to fill out a form and didn't have my account number readily available. Was the delivery service's website painfully slow on the iPhone? The answer is a definite YES, however driving all the way home to my computer, filling out a form again, and then driving back to deliver the package would have taken even longer. This is the exact situation I had hoped for my iPhone to conquer.
