An Idiot With A Smartphone

We've finally joined the 21st century here at Casa P. With the cell phone contract up for renewal, it was time to switch carriers and get new phones. I now carry a very small but powerful computer with me everywhere. It has a camera, camcorder, tons of memory and more apps than I want. Oh, and by the way, it also has a cell phone hidden in there.
I've been spending too many brain cells trying to figure out how to create a simple phone book on the device without downloading yet another app. Still working on that one. Oddly, every person who has ever sent an email to my Gmail account or followed me on Twitter is listed in my contacts. It's crazy! But I digress.

After taking a photo of my feet in UGGs, I was determined to figure out the camera. As heavy as the "phone" is, I don't really want to be carrying the phone and my point and shoot if I don't have to.  However, it's not clear that I can do away with the point and shoot just yet.  As you can tell from these photos.

We took a quick walk around the Zoo today. The weather is fabulous. I figured it would be a good time to practice using the computer/camera/phone. It's going to take a few more trips to the Park and the Zoo. Not that I mind. I never get tired of seeing the big cats, especially if they're out napping.

  1. Is it an iPhone? Jay could help you with the camera. He doesn't have an iPhone but he has taken some awesome photos with his phone (Android and Droid? not sure which). I have an iPhone now and I am learning all the ins and outs too!

  4. It's mind boggling to think what these little devices can do. I've had my iPhone for a while now and am still learning new tricks every day. Ps I'm wearing my Ugg boots, pink ones!

  6. I get tech support from my seven year old. He doesn't even have a phone but some how intuitively knows how to run my droid. If he can't solve an issue (rare), I fall back on the twenty-somethings I work with.
