Mass Transit more useable

A number of times this weekend while running around Chicago, I had need of looking up directions and locations on Google maps. It got me thinkng that not only is availability or access a factor of my growing adoration of this device, my love is also for the ease of use each tool affords. For instance, the alarm. I use the alarm function on my iPhone a lot. I had an alarm on my Razr, but though I loved the look of it and was proud to use it, I didn't use the auxilary features much at all- they were awkward. I would make the argument that I receive
possitive social feedback when I use my iPhone, that is probably a supporting factor

I think I also found using the Internet on my phone and paying by the bit intimidating financially, so I didn't use it for things like actively checking transit info. Again ease of use wins out.

And of course now we're down in a tunnel and I don't have service.
