What can I say? It's another attempt for Apple to take over the world. Thankfully, like
the Brain, the plot will be foiled by it's pinkyness.
Now I know what you Macolytes will say:
"WHAAAHHAAT!??!WHAHWAHA WHAHAAT!??!? WHY WOULD YOU SAY SUCH A HORRIBLE THING!?!?! HERESY! THE APPLE IS NEXT TO GOD!!!"
Simple: I hate Apple for various reasons:
- No right click. What is up with that?
- Force me to use iTunes for everything? NEVER! That program and it's sever system is horrible interface-wise. Rhapsody is much better. Windows Media Player 11 is much better. That's right: a Microsoft program tops Apple's. Plus not letting you get music from elsewhere is evil and nonsensical under our Constitution (yeah I had to pull the "we as Americans" card).
- Macolyte zealousness. You guys are too damn whiny about Windows. Your computer crashed? That only happens when you don't know how to use a Windows OS properly. I only have that happen when someone I'm facing in an RTS lags. Got a virus? Well seeing as Windows is used by more people and corporations, that's likely. Get Norton or something.
Now for why I think the iPhone will fail:
- Price: $599 for an 8 GB? I'd rather use my cash to get a PS3 (that's how ridiculous it is).
- Touch screen: It' smudges like crazy unless you clean it constantly or have a stylus, which doesn't work well with it.
- Service: You HAVE to use Cingular. No choice: it's not compatible with the system unless someone finds a hack for it.
- Durability: It's thiner than a BlackJack, and it has a huge, unprotected screen. CRACK!
- Web Surfing: Cingular provides the iPhone with it's slowest wireless speed. Unless you got a good Wi-Fi connection, good luck.
- Programs: Yes it runs like a mini-computer, but you can't install anything. NADA. ZIPO.
- Common Sense: 8GB fragile iPhone vs 30GB-60GB more durable iPod. If you want a good MP3 player (oh sorry, you guys like iTunes) phone get the Chocolate. It works.
