iphone Warning: if you have an iPhone, you might be an iBore!Checking out iphonic.tv recently, I came across a part-funny, part-serious article that covered some recent research on iPhone users, and how much they espouse the benefits of their device:

Britain’s Five News and YouGov conducted a survey which found that over a quarter of all adults in the UK know someone who’s an iBore – someone who is constantly checking their iPhone and just can’t wait to show off the latest software application.
Interestingly, more men (29%) knew an iBore than women (24%) did, and those in London, East England, the South East and The Humber were the worst afflicted.

Crumbs! I like to think that I don’t talk about my iPhone much, if at all – it’s a tool that does a job (even if it does look lurvely!). I wonder if I’m now a statistic?!

What do the IntoMobile readership think – do you know someone who literally bores the pants of you with their continued fawning over their iPhone?
