Just a few weeks ago Bob and I got new phones. Just your basic phone, it folds in half, it takes pictures, it has a built in tip calculator and a handy dandy alarm clock. Ho hum.
Of course when we went in to pick up our new phones we were asked if we wanted to upgrade to a smart phone. Nah, we said, we just want ones that we can use to call friends and family and take a picture if the camera isn’t handy.
We have lots of friends with these phones that look like rectangular boxes, but we just never felt the need to be able to connect to the Internet to play Angry Birds and we have a GPS in the truck thank you very much. So we opted for free which certainly worked for this Queen of Cheap.
Mistake, big mistake! I didn’t know what a mistake it was until I found out about appSmitten. Blogher introduced this to me and even though I don’t have this phone (yet) I was curious as to what it is that is so darn special about these more advanced iPhones, IPads and even Droids.
Well little did I know what all can be done with these devices. I signed up for the newsletter to get my education and what I learned practically floored me. I had NO idea!
So what is this appSmitten that opened my eyes?

just signed up for the app newsletter. You will love an iPhone. I was the same way just needed a basic phone but wanted a keyboard to text from and the salesman talked me into geting an iPhone. After getting mine, I wouldn't trade it. I love being able to just get my email, surf the web from anywhere. I even read your blog from my phone some days.
