There are probably only 2 products that I have, that I would say I am addicted to. The first being my strong addiction for Lemon Propel (mmm) and second my Apple Iphone. Today a couple of blog worthy items surfaced about my favorite gadget. First the Wall Street Journal wrote an in depth piece on why corporate America and in particular IT departments have yet to fully embrace the Iphone. A basic summary can be found below.

An interesting read as I have a front row seat to this clash between Iphone and corprate wisdom. I work down the road from Apple (literally) and although it may be the most popular phone for employees, all corporately distributed phones remain with Verizon hence not the ATT Iphone. It will interesting to see if this will continue to be our policy as the initial wave of 4 employees with an Iphone after opening weekend has ballooned up to seemingly about 25% of the company. The other interesting note On the Iphone that surfaced is today is the strong rumor that Apple will begin shipping Iphones in May that run on the faster 3G data network. Currently Iphone's run on the slower Edge data network meaning web browsing and viewing email can take elongated amount of time. Most other smart phones run on the faster 3G network, thus making Blackberry's and Palm devices a more attractive option for power users. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl-JK3mIj4k&hl=en&fs=1] The 3G Iphone combined with other enhancements in the works will become a much more viable product for the corporate business market. I think in time I think Apple may look to split the Iphone brand and have a version of the Iphone targeted to a younger more social audience with a more performance orientated Iphone being segmented for the older and corporate audience. Regardless of what Apple does, I would say its likely I will give them more money at some point. But hey, it still beats a lot of the other items I purchase with my discretionary income.
