I like the apps and that I can check my e-mail, look at Hubpages, blog, video chat on Skype, facebook, geocache, map a route and many other things using my iPhone. The only thing I don't really like is the cost for a data plan to do all that. I've written a couple Hubs about my favorite apps and using a smart phone for geocaching it you want to check them out, just click on my profile.
I don't have an iphone, I have a droid which is a way better phone. Not only is the processor (speed) and the memory better in a droid, they also have way better free apps. Another benefit is that you don't have to use itunes for everything.It is truly a "real" phone.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
