These month-long blogging breaks are no good, I suppose. This blog, at least, would get far more short posts from me throughout the day if I had easy access to an internet-accessible device as I was wandering about the city. Unfortunately, most of the quick ideas I have go floating off before I get to a point where I could type them in and tether them to this page.
This might change soon. At least, my access to such a device might change soon, and then my theory about increased posting would be put to the test. I'm thinking about picking up an iPhone. I still can't decide if it's actually worth it to pay AT&T the $ required each month, but I'm thinking the ability to watch movies on my commute (I have a pre-video iPod, so I was planning on upgrading that eventually regardless) combined with the GPS and instant internet access might be worth it. There's no question I'll be instantly addicted.
The problem comes in trying to figure out the best plan. Normally for the iPhone there's not much choice, but we might have a chance to pick up an original iPhone for cheap for Kirsten, so we could have one old and one new iPhone on a family plan. AT&T doesn't have much help on its website for people looking to roll an iPhone into a family plan without iPhones, much less for two different generations. Hopefully it wouldn't be too bad - I'm already paying way too much for my plan, but I'm off contract so it's an easy time to move.

Chad loves his 1st generation iPhone, but his plan runs through his work so we are no help there.
In the meantime, try Jott. It's software that allows you to call a number say whatever blog ideas you have and then it e-mails the message to you. You can even have the the message posted to your blog. i find it quite handy for your pesky little problem.
I've got the first gen iPhone and I love it. I'm also not updating to the new one because there's not a lot of difference between old and new. You don't need the new phone to get the software update which will allow you to get applications like twitter.
Note that the old iPhone uses a poor mans version of gps, using nearby cell phone towers and wifi hot spots to approximate your location.
I have no idea how they do the rate plans for hand me down phones. But you should get one, definitely.
