iPhone Is Crap - Or At Least It's 40 Minute Battery Is

Ever the iPhone denouncer, good ole’ John Dvorak is at it again. Dvorak already made it known that he thinks Apple should trash the iPhone. This time, it’s not so much that he’s talkin smack about Steve Jobs’ baby as much as he is reporting on a scoop from a Cingular insider. The scoop came to Dvorak from “a guy at Cingular whoâ€™s testing the product,” in confidentiality. But – in his podcast – John decided to give up that information anyway, confidentiality be damned.

Apparently, “the amateur mistake that they made is not having a removable battery. You run 20 minutes and youâ€™re using up half the battery power. You get 40 minutes total talk time. And the interface fouls up constantly.” If this turns out to be true, Jobs has mere months – very little time – to get the iPhone and it’s non-removable battery into shape for its June 11 launch.

Thanks for the sleuthing, John. I’m sure your source (if he’s actually legit) is grateful for your job-jeopardizing podcast.

Despite many finding the iPhone a great toy, I have found that in terms of functionality, it is definitely inferior to Windows Mobile PocketPC. In terms of user-friendliness, it is likely the best phone out there. But my main problem with iPhone is that it does not even allow the owner or anyone to copy files onto it! Not without doing a jailbreak first. I remember my first ipod could plug into the USB and we can copy any files into it. But Apple and Jobs are now insane. You cannot even copy non-music, non-photo, non-video, and non-plain-text files into iPhone. That is crap!! Most of my files do not belong in these few categories. As a result, the jailbreak is no longer optional and there are so many things I cannot do the iPhone because I cannot even do a simple file transfer! I am so glad that I did not waste any money on the iPhone and I am considering getting an Android. I think there are some third-party firmware for iPhone and I hope they can make the iPhone usable for once!

The i phone has destroyed me mentally, physically, financially and professionally. It has now taken my soul; robbed me of my very essence. They are desperately fragile – brittle, will snap in your hands, just fall apart – and they get inside your rational mind to such a point that they denude you of your judgement, make it impossible to form relationships and keep you in a state of permanent anxiety so profound that only hospital medication can stop you from dying. They are truly evil – beyond anything any world religion has yet managed to invent. As soon as you are hooked the evil little piece of shit will fuck up – catostrophically, as this is the only way they know – and will reduce you to a suicidal shadow of whatever you once were. You WILL self-harm and probably physically abuse others. You will take it to the nasty androids who work in Apple shops, and will experience temporary euphoria – but every visit only drags you further in, forces you closer to this desperately evil and vile machine. You will be seduced by the smile, and the apparent knowldge – but these sad bastards are even further gone than you. Their brains are mulch and Apple technology now invades their skulls absolutely. Get rid of this fucking thing before it destroys you forever.
