My phone is terrible. There — I said it. You know why? It makes phone calls. That's it. I can call people and talk about the weather, Paris Hilton's jail time, or how terrible the Dallas Mavericks did in the playoffs this year; but when the call is over I have no reason to do anything with my phone but put it back in my pocket.

Most regulars know that joshcrain.com is a friend to all things Apple. Though news of the iPhone has almost definitely reached you by now, I wanted to make a quick list of the top five things that make the iPhone awesome (in my humble opinion):

5. It’s a widescreen, touch screen iPod that plays both music and video in an awesome way.

4. The touch screen is the most advanced of its kind to ever hit the market. Steve Jobs’ first bulleted point in his presentation of the touch screen feature was, “It works like magic.” I really don’t know why he even bothered with any points after that...

3. It runs OS X (if you don’t know what that is, you can stop reading now...j/k).

2. It has real internet access (unlike my Motorola Q), serving up actual HTML web pages that can be surfed, zoomed in and enjoyed just like on your regular computer. It even runs a full version of Google maps!

1. It’s made by Apple...that pretty much solidifies it as an amazing product.
