Ok, I admit it, maybe it was a bit unhealthy to be checking my facebook and email so much but I really miss my iphone! I have recently changed jobs and a new shiny iphone was part of my package as it really aids PR Managers, now I have had to return it and I feel like I have lost a limb.

I never thought I’d be one of those people who had a compulsion to download the most talked about app or be in a position where I would be updating my Linkedin, twitter and facebook, whilst checking in somewhere on foursquare!!!

Though this may seem quite normal to iphone users and strange to those who don’t own one, I feel I do need to explain what a difference it does make to your daily life.

Email: In the PR industry it is extremely important to deal with things in real time, a piece of news could be so advantageous to a client and so being able to look at news updates when you are away from your laptop can also allow you to forward it onto a client with a summary on how to respond in order to gain coverage.

Tweetdeck: I miss out on soooooo much now I don’t have my iphone, when appropriate, I am used to tweeting throughout the day and also checking on my boyfriend’s twitter account for his band. I can only do this on my laptop now and lets face it, there’s just not enough hours in the day to log in and check on everything but with an iphone you can check on all the latest at the swipe of a button and also be informed when people tweet you.

SkySports: The weekend’s aren’t the same any more, if I’m at my snowboarding lesson or out visiting friends, I can’t sneakily check my phone for the latest scores. On my standard Nokia it takes forever to scroll down to the sports pages and it just leaves you feeling frustrated.

Am I just being really impatient and is this what our world has come to where everyone expects things in the here and now, or has the iphone created a fantastic way of making life easier for people? To be honest, I don’t really care, it’s more of a habit for me, I’m used to having things literally at my fingertips.In everyday life, I am now faced with getting lost and having to find my own way, rather than using the maps app and waiting to get to a cash machine to find out my balance, rather than knowing in an instant whether I can afford those shoes!

Bye bye iphone, I hope our paths will cross once more.
