Still here. Still alive. And now coming to you via the magic of the mobile and connected Web.
The company bought us all Windows 7 phones -- partly to seed the market and partly because they know that if they give us a way to work all the time, we will. Verizon was late to the party, but I finally got my new phone this week.
I'm not sure if it saves me time or if it makes me more productive, but it does make it easy to be spontaneous. Take this post for example, wouldn't be making it without the new phone. And the geocaching application makes it easy to find a cache whenever you have time -- no need to plan ahead, just map the cache nearest to where you are and grab it.
Could be that is the benefit of the new 4th generation phones -- they put the Web in your hand so you don't have to think about it, it's just there.
