Old Shep

The iPhone 4 is my first iPhone, I purchased it because I use my iPod touch on a daily basis and find that the Touch is an incredibly useful both as an entertainment device and a personal organiser.

So I have replaced my trusty SE K800i and 2nd Generation Touch with the new iPhone.

As someone in their sixties I find it both intuitive and a pleasure to use. The app store has yielded several gems, if I am in the pub drinking my Horlicks then "Nextbuses" tells me the nearest bus stop and the time the bus is due.

The one app that as a keen amateur photographer made my jaw drop is "iTimelapse". Set the number of frames, resolution, time interval between frames, schedule the start time or choose sound activation and press start, or set it in manual and overlay the last frame over what is currently shown in the viewfinder. When it has finished you can render the frames into a time lapse movie, Claymation anyone?

So for my £500 I have both a still and HD video camera, a time lapse intervalometer, GPS, SatNav, A-Z, PDA, games machine, document reader and phone, all in one device that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing ( to me YMMV) All that for £500 is IMO a bargain.
