I had planned eventually to get an iPhone but had some concerns with how much I'd really use it.

I have ADHD so it would make sense for me to have a PDA/phone/task list/grocery list/etc in one item. However, I'd tried PDAs before, a Handspring, a Palm. Used them for a couple weeks and then once the novelty was worn off, they became large paperweights on my desk.

I hated the idea that this lovely gift would fall to the same fate.
