iPhone Fever is for Retards

I don’t get Apple Fan-boys.  I can’t think of one company that has such a maniacal bunch of followers as Apple.  They do make some good stuff I guess; I own an iPod and my spouse has an iPod touch (which mostly goes unused because the set-up on it was a nightmare).  But that’s about it.

The iPhone is interesting, but all along it’s been touted as the only phone that would do [this].  In fact, it is not the only phone that will do [that] and in most cases, other phones do it better.  It might look a bit sexier thana lot of others, but really, no cut and paste?  No 3G (on the first iteration)?  I have no idea what else it doesn’t do because I have no interest in having one.

Anyway, what strikes me so funny is that so many people want an iPhone just because it’s an iPhone, or because Apple makes it.  They don’t care that it won’t do this, that, or the other thing that’s so important – they just want an iPhone, dammit!

This sums it up to perfection.  I laughed until my belly hurt.  No, I don’t have an iPhone, and until it will wipe my ass for me, I don’t want one.
