I wrote a blog post back when I first saw the iPhone about how I thought it could change the R/E world. Most the comments I got went something like this "yeah the phone is cool, but the apps aren't there to support your ideas". So, I definitely want to see some new web 2.0 apps so that I can go back and say "see, I told you so".</p> <p>Now, I just have to figure out a way to justify spending $500 for the new phone to my wife. Any ideas?</p> Funny… I wrote a blog post back when I first saw the iPhone about how I thought it could change the R/E world.

Now, I just have to figure out a way to justify spending $500 for the new phone to my wife. Any ideas?

I know, cuz the smoking gun told me so.</p> Did i mention we logged our notes the following day after the showing, and that the next person who drives by and views the tour can see what we had to say… because we'd rather have people than a website provide recomendation.

Imagine for a moment the plethora of ways this gadget can revolutionize broker/agent interfacing, let alone the powerful and countless consumer applications that exist.

Apple has it right; it's all about the consumer and that is why they were able to resurrected themselves!

Our industry is in need of more than a fresh coat of paint and some new screen doors. The innovation likely will come from without, rather than within, sadly.

As for REALonomics, we have an order pending!
