Favorite iPhone Feature

My favorite feature on the iPhone is, its integration with Google tools. For example if I need to get directions to a particular venue I can send SMS addressed to Google with the name and zip code, or city of the location. Within seconds I get a response back, I can click on the link and call the number directly from SMS, or I can click on the map link and Google Maps gets launched.

From the map of the location, I can route directions directly from wherever I am at.

Other useful features, are Gmail and Reader ... but those are more traditional and don't tend to interest me as much as SMSing with Google.

I will post some images later.

Very cool. I heart the Iphone. I will get one eventually. Maybe the 3G version will get my money.

That's really cool! I can't wait until I get the iphone next month or so.

My regular cellphone has a camera and makes a cool *snick* sound when I close it. Can your iPhone do that?

I really want an iPhone. I feel behind the times with my Zach Morris phone! Maybe that's what I'll spend my rebate $$$ on. Hmmm....

I'd rather wait for the new blackberry touchscreen. http://achandel.blogspot.com/2008/05/touchscreen-blackberry-thunder-due-by.html

FYI for non-IPhone users, the "SMS Google" feature can be used from any text enabled cell phone. Nonetheless, the Iphone is pretty cool, I think it's best feature is the voicemail viewer.
