Today in iPhone, item number 71, February 22nd, 2009.

Too many excuses.

Welcome to today in iPhone.

I like it a lot.

Today in iPhone.

Hey, go away!

Oh yeah. Zoom was getting some traction and Steve Jee today in iPhone. Hey, Golo! Oh, yeah!

Zoom was getting some traction and Steve Jobs goes to Macworld and he pulls out this iPhone.

Hey Rob, this is Mike for Rebel City, California.

I had a question I've always wanted to ask you, or at least ask someone at the Apple store or something like that,

is what is the reason for the contacts icon on our home screen on the iPhone?

We could easily access contacts through the phone icon down in our dock or wherever you happen to have it located.

So what's the point of having the contacts icon and the phone icon, unless there's something about them, there's some difference between them that I haven't noticed. As far as I can tell, they both do the same thing. So anyways, that's a question I have for you and your listeners. What's the difference and what's the point of having the contacts icon? All right, thanks a lot, Rob. Bye. Welcome to the show. I'm your host, Rob, and this is the Today and iPhone podcast. First off, sorry about missing last week's episode. I know I said I'm doing one a week. We'll just call it an average of one a week, and I'll make it up and do two in an upcoming week here.

But I spent last week and the weekend before that working on my taxes and getting everything ready because my appointment with my tax guy was on Friday.

So now that's all out of the way.

And then this weekend was my wife's birthday and Valentine's Day.

So you combine those two together. And that's why the show's coming out on Monday, but it should be a clear sailing for the next few weeks. And actually, I was wrong. And now this is a week later. And what had happened was I'd worked on this episode last Monday and was planning on getting it up Monday night and my wife got home from work and she was

really not feeling well and she was sick all last week and then our younger son was sick all last week.

So I spent all this week watching our youngest son and my wife spent all last week trying to get better.

Unfortunately, this is now two weeks late but here it it goes, and now it means two upcoming weeks.

I'm going to double up.

Okay.
