I Live On (the) IPhone

I got my first IPhone on June 29, 2007, the first day it was available.  Has it changed my life?  It certainly occupies most of my time.  Consider:

I Spend More (Personal) Time on My IPhone Than All Most Anything Else
  • Time on IPhone > Time on laptop/PC
  • Time on IPhone > Time watching TV
  • Page views on IPhone > Pageviews on Laptop/PC
  • Tweets from IPhone > Tweets from Laptop/PC
  • Minutes using "data" (Internet/SMS) on IPhone > Phone call minutes on phone
  • SMS messages > Phone calls
  • Time listening to music on IPhone > Time listening to music all other channels
  • Time on IPhone > Time sleeping (?!)
Other Tidbits
  • I'm within arms reach of my IPhone at least 90% of the time
  • My IPhone is not a phone.  I primarily use it for stuff other than phone calls.
  • I've never redeemed a paper Borders' coupon.  I always redeem an electronic Borders' coupon from my IPhone
  • Heavy transactions stuff (like buying airplane tickets) are still more likely to be done using my laptop.  But, this is changing.
But,
  • I still author more content on my laptop (code, blog posts, word/ppt/excel docs) than on my IPhone.  This is almost exclusively work related stuff.
  • I watch more video (movies) in the theater or on TV.  This is one area where the IPhone experience is massively inferior.  The physical viewing experience sucks (screen is too small, bandwidth sucks).  And, every time I click through to a web page that has video that can't be played (usually because it's Flash or some other non-supported format/player), I feel like I've been Rick-Rolled.  It's hugely disappointing and frustrating.
 If You Know My IPhone, You Know Me
Apple and AT&T know all.  Now that's kinda scary.

Blippy for IPhone usage -- that would be revealing!
