Pocket Life

Steve Jobs called the iPhone "Your life in your pocket."  Although I don't carry my iPhone in my pocket, because, well, you know?  Turning the ringer off does, um, funny things, I do find much love in Mr. Jobs' statement.  Because holy moly, have you seen the Apps for this thing?

Dude, seriously?  There's an iPhone App for choosing what to eat for dinner?  Nice.  'Cause I pretty much stink at meal planning.  Just shake that little thing up and... let's see, Taco Salad, Jello, and Artichoke Hummus.  Okay...

Oooh, and there's an iPhone App for figuring out that catchy tune that you heard in the grocery store?  You just have to hold your iPhone up to the vent in the aisles of Vons.  Don't worry, you don't look like your channeling ET or anything, because everyone totally knows about Shazam!  Duh.  

Love to facebook?  Love to Tweet?  Yup.  There's an iPhone App for that.

So Mr. Jobs, here's some market research for ya'.  I need an iPhone App that can:

• Think of the most clever idea of ALL (mwahahaha) for Teacher Appreciation day Week
• Tell the kids that we are buying a birthday gift for (insert name) and that his/her birthday is not for (insert 364ish days).
• Ironing
• Vacuuming
• Bringing in the garbage cans
• Foot massages
• Laundry
• Wash the kids hair without dripping soap into their eyes
• Archive photo albums for the last 30+ years

I'm just thinking, as child who watched The Jetsons and thought mobile televisions and 

phones with pictures (Skype) 

were far-out ideas, we can't be too far off from the Rosie the Robot iPhone App, right?
