I love the iPhone, but hate Apple.
But, well done to them in making the competition step up their game also to become even better.

What I enjoy about Apple is that
There Products have never failed me
2x iPod touchs 2x iPhones
Never any issues with any of them!
Sadly I think the 1st Gen iPhone
Arrived after I hung up my coat on O2
But I'm glad there's more choice on which
Network you can get them on now

What i mean is you can bash it against a wall not the iphone bashes easier against the wall. But with it being glass it does anyway. And with Apple throwing its weight around it seems to think it has the biggest dick as you so elegantly put it

Sorry but how did the original iphone get Invention of the Year?? It was hardly anything new was it even for the time there was much better deserving devices around ahead of it in terms of spec. The only thing good about it was a simple interface. Honestly brain dead judges

perhaps you'll get a better idea if you take a look at the Time article while also thinking back to the market in 2007.
in retrospect, I think that article was quite prophetic
