It occurred to me recently, while trudging through endless posts about the iPhone coming or the iPhone being released or the iPhone's packaging or the iPhone in someone's hands or the iPhone not in someone's hands, that it's not actually that good.
It can't record video, it can't send media messages, it doesn't support 3g, or instant messaging, or third party applications, or hot-swapping for memory cards and the battery isn't user replaceable. Should the battery die, you will have to send it off to be replaced. You will be charged an undisclosed fee for this.
All this for $499 or $599, depending on which one you choose.
So let's see - an overexposed, money grabbing, publicity whore that doesn't actually do anything.
The iPhone is Paris Hilton.

Paris Hilton is precisely like the iPhone in that she whores herself to society before she gets arrested for drunk driving and then makes a lot of fuss over her two-week prison sentence.
Come to think of it, she's more like Steve Jobs, or Bono.
A cure for cancer is being developed as you read this and yet Nokia still hasn't come up with a solution for my dusty cell phone screen. There is no god.
I thought the iPod cured cancer already?
Bono should hold a concert for it.
