    In comparison to most of my peers, definitely, in comparison to how I used to be then not so much.

    Absolutely. Although I’m now on the Pre, I was doing stuff on my Treo 680 that most of my iPhone-toting colleagues didn’t have a clue about. For them, the iPhone is just phone + mp3 player + games machine.

    “What, you can edit Word documents? How do you do that?” ‘Nuff said.

    Yes. Today I have three (!) Smartphones with me, a laptop and a mini notebook (5″ screen) and a digital pen (called Livescribe Pulse Smartpen).

    @AndrewP

    You do know that you can edit Word, Excel and Powepoint docs on the iPhone?

    I really have no clue what defines a power-user, and, frankly, I couldn’t care less whether I am one or not.

    Some might say, not I of course, that “power users” are so far up on their own pompous little derriere’s that they can tickle their own ears.
    Andrew, a bit ironic now how iPhone owners can now edit Word documents and you and I are using a device which does not have said functionality….ooops.

    I used not to consider myself one until I started looking and talking with other smartphone users. I will consider myself one now. Most people do not have a clue what that wonderful little device in their hands can do, if it is properly equipped. I myself must confess that I am still discovering even more. I believe that others don’t know because of two reasons actually. One is the simple fact that they are new. They bought the device because of maybe a single feature that they did not have before and just have not had time. The second reason is that they just don’t care. They bought the device just to get one extra feature and that is all they care about. I can see both points of view just fine. I myself just demand more from a device that you pay an arm and a leg for.
