Yet Another Reason Why I Want An iPhone

Cool apps like Photoswap, where you take a photo, and it’s sent to a random person and you get a random one in return. Stupid, but fun.

On a related note, I was talking to the AT&T chat folks, and they said that an AT&T tower is going up in Bend sometime in the near future.

Long story short? It means we might be able to get local numbers for iPhones sometime. Probably a decade from now, but hey, it’s a start.
