Dumbest comments…
Oh where to start… there have been oh so many dumb comments about the iphone in the last week. Most of which have made me go from various shades of slightly grumpy to totally incredulous.
But I thought I would put two of my favs up now (I may come back and edit this page later :-))

How many HTC Touch versions of ANY websites are there? None
How many cars offer full integration with your Samsung Instinct? None
Oh my god didily dang…
two little observations about these points….
All websites can work with HTC touch if they are coded correctly(that is they are properly compliant to web standards and have a mobile css) and oh yeah the play flash as well!
and the second point… firstly any phone that offers bluetooth can be integrated and oh yes in stereo as well. This person seriously thinks about spending say 1k on an Iphone which is what it will cost at least, and then bases say a 30k car on this. The phone will be obsolete come next year (if not earlier) and the car? I can just see the car for sale adds in the future.
Good car, low km’s (sorry doesn’t support Iphone2.2, ready for quick sale)
People it is a phone, it is obsolete before it lefts the shop, you will drop it loose and scratch it. That happens. Get used to it and stop thinking that it is the best thing since sliced bread. The best thing since sliced bread was spreadable butter, that way your bread did not get mangled. (and whilst bread and butter both have a used by date, they are not obsolete!)
edit– this sums it up the best
“Apple Is to Geeks What Breasts Are to Men”
contains such great lines as
“It’s like watching a group of teenage boys who have never seen a pair of breasts lining up to get a peek at their first Playboy.”
and
“At the end of the day, as much as I love breasts, I won’t pay money for them and I certainly won’t wait in line for them.”
go and read it….
