Dear world, please get over the iPhone
I’m tired of hearing about it already. It’s not the first phone to
have a touch screen (multi-touch, yes), it’s not the first phone to
have an on-screen keyboard, it’s not the first phone to support
drag and drop, and it’s not the first phone to have an SDK (it
doesn’t even have one yet). If you think any of these things then
you are completely crazy.
If you’d like examples please see the any of the Windows Mobile PPC
or Symbian UIQ phones. Some clueless reporter on CNet is actually
reporting that the “
LG
Voyager is the first phone offered by Verizon Wireless that--like
the Apple iPhone--has a large external touch screen”.
Unfortunately, I can’t tell who the article is by because it just
credits it to Verizon Wireless.
Question #1, how does this qualify as news when it is completely
false? Question #2, how can I get this person’s job?
