Cool iPhone rant I found on the internet



Here you go folks,


If you own one of these (iPhone), you may as well just wear a big sign around your neck that says,

"I AM TOO WEALTHY FOR MY OWN GOOD. PLEASE ROB ME."

Some people look at these things and seem to think if they just have this phone their whole lives will improve. They'll be satisfied and complete. But it's just a phone, people. Sure it's a phone that gets the internet but it doesn't even support Java or Flash and guess what? If you can afford this phone, you probably also have a laptop that can not only get the internet, but get Java and Flash applications and pages too!

It's a phone. And it is JUST a phone. It is not a new baby, a home or your grandmother Bessie resurrected from the dead. Get over yourself.

My friend Skinny got one of these and he says it RULES. Skinny is smart and does not put up with any bullshit whatsoever.

LLoyd has one but he is mostly interested in the fun stuff, like this "bubbles" application that just shows bubbles floating around and you can move them with your finger on the touchscreen.
He also showed me that bad-boy app that allows you to put the iphone next to your radio; it listens to the song playing for a few seconds, figures out what song it is, then shows you the song info and album art on the phone. We tried it out with that 80's Howard Jones song that goes "Oh Oh oh... oh oh oh ooooohhhhh". It worked perfect. Of course Lloyd is about 80 and was not enthused about this choice for the test.
Of course the real reason Apple developed this app was because of course it lets your purchase the song from iTunes ....
