My life without an iPhone...

...Were really hard, almost unbearable, until my iPod Touch died and now it is just impossible!!

My iPod Touch was a birthday present from my father-in-law, one of the best presents I've ever got. I can still recall his face, amused as he didn't know how to react when he saw how ridiculously happy I was with his present. He probably thought I was so pathetic...
But that's the thing - before you hold one of these amazing devices, you don't know what you're missing.
My life is much easier thanks to my iPod, I'm telling you.
It's not only saves and presents all of the essential information I need such as my calendar, contacts, weather forecasts, maps and many many more but is also full of little treasures such as lots of my favorite books to read online or offline, some games (I'm not much of a games person, for these people, iPod Touch/iPhone is a real bliss!) and other little goodies I keep finding almost every week.

Anyway, back to my post title, the thing I miss the most about my iPod compared to an iPhone, is not the phone itself but the camera.
So many times I was walking/driving around while missing one time opportunities for great photos because I didn't had my camera with me.

I really try to have my camera in my bag at all times, but when doing my morning walks for example, it's not that easy to carry this weight with me.
With the iPhone camera you won't miss a chance for good shots.
I know some of you laugh when you read this but I truly believe great photos comes from great photographers, not from great cameras.
Still don't believe me?

Check out these beautiful pictures by my dear friend Yaron, all were taken with his iPhone using the CameraBag for iPhone app. I can't get enough of the dark urban flair of his photography.

  1. those are great photos and i agree that great photos are a result of the photographer, not necessarily the camera.

    recently, i sold my 3gs to afford the iphone 4, but i wasn’t smart enough to pre order. so, i am without an iphone for 1 or 2 weeks or more! i feel like a drug addict without their fix! i am late for appointments, i get lost driving anywhere, and generally feel down. the new iphone felt good in my hands at the apple store however. i never thought a “phone” would make such a difference in my life, but it has. go apple!

  2. indeed! I had an ipod touch as my "gateway" and then graduated to an iPhone a few months later. Once you have one, you can't NOT have it! It does make everything easier, and it's really strange to not have internet in your pocket. :)
