All iPhone owners

The iPhone (Blackberries, Blackjacks, Androids, Pre's, whatever) are all spectacular devices. There's no one that rules them all.

But how many of us spends hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars on these devices to do nothing but make phone calls, check e-mails, and play virtual bowling? If that's all you need and you just like having the brand in your pocket- so be it. It's all good. Prices are coming down so much and the tech is so available these days that it's all too possible.

But if you spent a bit more time to examine just a bit further the capabilities of whatever is in your pocket that runs on a battery- it's well worth it. Google is making this a lot easier for everyone. Even my mom texts via her G-Mail account now- and she has trouble working the slow cooker I got her for Christmas.

Google has great ideas, products and engineering. But they're not good at telling you straight up- what it does. Like Google Voice.

But I dug a bit deeper and now I don't know how I'll live without Google Voice. And I hope you guys all use it, too. Like Google Reader.
