I swear, I didn’t take a day off of work to wait in line for an iPhone.

But I did buy one the day after it came out. And having carried it in my pocket every day since, looking at it every morning when I wake up and before I go to bed, using it for everything from weather to directions to email to playing Nintendo, I’ve gotta say: it’s a truly amazing device. Game changing you might say. Sure, I get a bit jealous of those more functional Blackberry keyboards, but these days when I have to suffer through using someone else’s phone I briefly wonder how I ever lived without my slim little iPhone.

What’s most impressive is when you hand your iPhone to someone who’s never used it before. Just watch them play with it and you see the future of software.

I’m not the first to say it by any means, but the announcement yesterday of Software Development Kit for the iPhone and iPod Touch is going to be huge. It’s not a phone or an mp3 player anymore, it’s a platform. It’s a way of building portable, useable, and revolutionary tools that are going to continue to change the way we interact with the world. Seriously, if you don’t have one now, you will have a touch-based and internet connected device in your hand in the next 10 years.

Now let’s just hope someone besides Apple and Steve Jobs can get their act together and build a true competitor.

And on a completely unrelated note, Star Wars according to a 3 year old.
