In Our Pockets

Jason Snell:

But though it’s come a long way, the iPhone of five years ago is still indisputably the iPhone. It’s the product that changed how we thought about that little device we keep in our pockets all the time. I remember clearly how I much I hated bringing my Palm Treo along with me when I went somewhere. Sitting in that tent five years ago was the first time that I actually looked forward to bringing my phone with me wherever I went—at least, once I got out of the mountains and got to somewhere with actual phone reception. Five years later, I won’t go anywhere without that device close at hand.
