I got an email from an elderly friend today, asking if I had gotten an iPhone yet. (I guess that’s the nice thing about having a web site and blog… people can keep up with you even if you’re a little out of touch.)

Having learned that I hadn’t taken the plunge (though I was really close to doing it on Saturday) she advised me to do it, saying that she bought one, and her boyfriend liked it so much that he got one the following day.

But the real gem is that she sent along a link to a great additional reason for buying an iPhone: the power of unlocking it. Sometimes one URL can say so much. So guess where I’m going at lunch time.
