An Inconvenient Truth

Wait for all the screaming Apple fanboys to protest. I’m no Microsoft apologist, but if they came up with a product this expensive, yet so functionally inadequate, you’d never hear then end of it from the muesli-knitting, goatee-wearing Mac brigade.

In all the (mostly critical) articles I’ve read about this high tec brick, the most common defence from the Apple-opolgists  is; “Yeah, but you wait for the next version, it will have all those features and more! And be extra shiny!”.

Right, so why buy this one, and are you now finally admitting that Apple have been siphoning cash out of your wallet for years with upgrades that could have gone in the original product?

(Are you impressed that I made it this far without referencing its name to female sanitary wear? Whoops……)

  1. I Stumbled on this one, too, and I was on hiatus for work-related reasons (though, yes, I did Stumble around at odd moments) or I might have beat you to the punch in putting this one up…..

  2. I know it’s crap, it’s just a big iPhone and doesn’t support flash! But I still want one, am I brain washed?

  3. I’m a bit of an Apple fan. Recently got a new macbook, in a few months I’ll be getting an Iphone. But this thing..it’s just ridiculous! I mean, it virtually does nothing, for that price! Only thing is being able to read and surf the web, geez, an Iphone can do even more stuff.
    I think this thing is really just a income from the real apple fanboys. No one else would buy it, right?

  4. What? Were you waiting for this device to be really released before posting anything else? Then may we expect something new soon? Hope all is well with you and yours.
