If you want to know the real secret, it's because I got an iPhone for my birthday. Being able to use the Net on a bus, in the pub or even - dare I say it - in the loo, is both wonderfully liberating and dangerously addictive at the same time. (BTW, those that tell you their mobile phones can surf the Net may not be lying, but you need to try an iPhone to understand how different the experience is...)
