I didn't even know it was supposed to rain that weekend - those two days at the start of May where Nashville and surrounding areas were hit with a foot of rain and flash flooding. Those of us who lived through this historic event will remember where we were: I woke up early that Saturday morning, heard the storms and promptly called off my plans for the day.

So just how much do you love your iPhone? Would you consider yourself a casual user, a heavy user or even an iPhone addict?
Recently, Stanford University researchers polled 200 students to learn more about just how people (well, students) are using their iPhones. According to a write up LiveScience.com, iPhones are pretty "indispensable" for many students. While they do not state that students are actually "addicted" to their iPhones, they certainly imply a real dependency on the technology.

As consumers continue to adopt new technology and integrate it into their lives, competition for their attention will increase substantially. As such, 2010 promises to be an exciting year for digital innovation and adoption. Unlike competition in more traditional industries, competition for the digital hearts and minds of consumers competes on features far more than [...]
