I have to be completely “real” with you right now when I say, “My name is Gailen David and I am an iPhone addict”. This week, my iPhone and I have become practically fused together from constant contact. I don’t know about you, but I resisted getting an iPhone for a long time, saying things like “I am not giving in to this Apple stuff!” Well, it turns out the I did give in and the iPhone is taking over my life. I knew I had a problem when:
- My iPhone began spending the night with me in bed and I would check my email, Facebook, and Twitter at least 3 times per night
- The screen on my iPhone had traces of everything I had eaten for the past 24 hours
- I have to take a nap while my iPhone recharges
- I started feeling sorry for people without iPhone. Sort of the way body builders look at the rest of us
- If I forgot my earphones when traveling, that 4 star hotel looked like a Motel 6 as a result of my depressed state
- You look forward to stoplights and getting stood-up since it gives you more alone time with your iPhone
There are many more tell-tale signs of addiction to the iPhone that are turning up all of the time in therapy sessions around the world.
After the Intervention. Reward Yourself!
Once you’ve admitted to the world that your an iPhone addict, it’s time to reward yourself with some cool speakers like these that I take with me when I travel and use in the hotel room (they’re great at home too). They’ve got amazing sound; enough to cause the front desk to call you and ask you to cut the noise a little. They were designed by two guys that are definitely cool travelers in their twenties that know what good sound is, which is why they co-founded a company, Digital Audio Group that is dedicated to making hot items like this.
These are heavy duty little speakers and work with the iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch, iPod Touch 2G and iPod Classic. The cradle then rotates to work in both portrait and landscape modes. They also have a 14-16 hour battery life, but also come with an AC adapter. For more info, you can visit the Livespeakr website.
At least living with the addiction will be a lot easier for you and your loved ones when your surrounded by great sound.

Yes, I am an iPhone addict. Even when I’m at home I find myself making phone calls using my iPhone even though I have a VoIP phone at home (which is unlimited).
Thanks Steph!
See, you’re not alone!
Gailen, I loved your article! Your humor is wonderful and right on. I have a BlackBerry Tour instead of an iPhone, but a lot of the sentiments are the same. And I LOVE my MacBook — truly, it has changed my life, and raised the bar on my standards for simplicity.
Thanks for sharing your humor! I also enjoyed the tip about iPhone earrings
. I’ll have to check out those speakers, too. I am a HUGE fan of music.
Love,
Gina
