How the Apple iPhone helped me make some new friends

This past weekend I went to the Urban Nights function in Downtown Dayton, Ohio. Local artists, musicians, restaurants and other vendors provide food, fun and entertainment throughout Downtown Dayton to celebrate all that Dayton has to offer. It is a very nice event which includes a lot of walking around with a map to get the most out of the event. While walking down one of the streets in the Oregon District, I was approached by an elderly couple who were having difficulty locating one of the attractions listed on the Urban Nights map, a historical Oregon District home. So with my iPhone in hand, I quickly called up the Google Maps application, typed in the address and gave them walking directions from where we were standing thanks to the built-in GPS. They were very impressed and appreciative and it made my day. I can't say it enough...I LOVE MY iPHONE!!!
