Dvorak: Apple iPhone and Hitler – one and the same

What’s the best way to get more traffic on your blog? Well, make sensational, half-baked, and emotionally controversial comments about an admittedly over-hyped product – which is exactly what John C. Dvorak is good at. The tech-columnist has been mouthing off about the iPhone being crap for as long as we can remember (our long-term memory is shot) – so it’s no surprise to find that Dvorak is at it again. This time around, he’s attacking the media for talking so damned much about the iPhone. We guess he’s done posting bogus (and sometimes contradictory)”reports” on iPhone battery performance, why Apple should ditch the iPhone, and iPhone manufacturing troubles.
Apparently, Johnny-boy is done with all the iPhone fan-boys out there. Aside from claiming that Hitler’s ability to whip up a frenzied mass of people was nothing compared to the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone’s hype, he has “verboten” his blog writers from mentioning the iPhone until the actual launch – so that might explain why he’s actually talking about the iPhone on PCMag.com.
Come on, John, just deal with it. People like new and flashy gizmos that they can play with and show off to their friends – we’re all just big kids after all.

i was listening to the latest podcast of TWIT and devorac is on the show…he said that he was blaming people for loving something they havent seen, but over all he is really “rooting for the iphone”
Of course Dvorak would have to say that he is rooting for the iPhone – after having all his iPhone smack-talk getting debunked, he has no choice but to change his tone.
