Winning the War One Week at a Time

Micro Persuasion: Turn Your iPhone into a Mobile Nerve Center

However, the iPhone doesn’t go far enough by itself. You can make it go even further with these free undocumented techniques I have implemented over the past few days. It will turn your iPhone into a mobile nerve center that allows you to keep essential information at your fingertips. These tips can be used by themselves or in conjunction with the GMail Nerve Center techniques I wrote about in February.

I’ve won another week of the war against buying an iPhone. I’ve gained a bit of appreciation for the Blackberry as I’ve looked at how far I can push it’s functionality toward that of iPhone. At this point my mental equipoise is at waiting for my Verizon contracts to expire in Feb/March and keep the Blackberry on Verizon for business mail and EVDO modem use and move calls over to AT&T and the iPhone. The iPhone “ecosystem” seems to be developing rapidly, but I can’t see giving up push email and full on the go highspeed internet access. Perhaps, as John Gruber suggests, my next iPod will serve as my iPhone. The multimedia and wi-fi browsing without the cellular service. A nice complement to the Blackberry.

Sad to be writing about this so much and to even be wasting so much mental energy on it, but there must be many others who like me are committed Blackberry users who want the phone and browsing interface of the iPhone.

I'm an MD, PhD Neurologist who left a successful academic career on the Faculty of The Johns Hopkins Medical School to develop new treatments in Biotech and Pharma. I became fascinated with how people actually make decisions based on the science of decision theory and emerging understanding of how the brain works to make decisions. My passion now is this deep explanation of what has been the realm of philosophy, psychology and self help but is now understood as brain function. By understanding our brains, I believe we can become happier, more successful people.
