Apple iPhone 4S (16GB - black, Verizon Wireless)

Pros: One device that replaces many others, an organized mini-computer

Cons: Absolutely nothing wrong with replacing half a dozen products with a single iPhone

Summary: For many years of my life, I have been using half a dozen products.

* Cell Phone
* GPS Navigation
* iPod Touch
* DVD Player
* Digital Camera
* Digital Camcorder

The iPhone 4S is all of those products (plus many more) all wrapped up into one, so let's dive right in, shall we?

1. Cell Phone -- The call quality is incredible. I'll never forget the first phone call I made (from my car) listening to the incredible sound clarity of the call.

Also, it has the new Bluetooth 4.0 technology and integrates with my vehicle Bluetooth perfectly. In fact, when I use the voice-activated "Siri Personal Assistant", I speak to my car (not the phone) and Siri understands me.

The included earphones includes the speaker, so you can use it hands-free while on the go.

2. GPS Navigation -- With an optional vehicle mount, this will function with the right (optional) application (app). Combined with Siri voice control, this device exceeds my expectations of what to expect from a GPS navigation system.

3. iPod Touch -- The iPhone does everything the iPod Touch can do many times better with a much faster A5 dual-core processor. From listening to your music, to photos, to videos, to web browsing and everything else, you really can carry less and have more.

4. DVD Player -- with the optional A/V adapter combined with an HDMI cable, this has replaced my BlueRay Player for full DVD functionality for a full 1080P HD experience.

Popcorn not included.

5. Digital Camera -- Oh sure, it does not have a mega-zoom lens, but it certainly has 8 megapixels, improved sensor for low-light photography, HDR photo technology and when combined with the (optional) Photo stream service with iCloud integration, all photos taken can instantly sync with all of your other Apple devices.

With this wireless integration, it also replaces memory cards and those dreadful adapters!
Did I mention that it includes two cameras?

6. Digital Camcorder -- Make no mistake about it, this camcorder can record a full 1080P HD video at 30 Frames-Per-Second.

With two cameras, there are more opportunities than ever!

Now you would think with all of those features, that would be the limit, but truth be told -- there are no limits to what you can do.

With the incredible App store, you can purchase additional apps. In fact, many fine apps are actually free of charge.

With the wonderful Siri personal assistant, just speak in natural language to do many tasks.
Need an alarm clock? Just ask, "Siri, wake me up at 5:30 AM tomorrow".
Need an oven timer? Just ask, "Siri, set the timer for 20 minutes".

The possibilities are endless with what you can do.

This product is just incredible and if you are shopping for someone, looking for a gift, if they already own one, there are dozens of fine accessories that would make affordable gifts, because most people will purchase this long before the holidays.
