Whenever I read ‘The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ I always mentally substitute ‘iPhone’ for every mention of a towel. I’m sure it’s what Adams would have done if he’d written it today.
iPhones are great little gadgets, but the 1st-gen ones suck as actual phones. Not sure about the new ones, I don’t know anyone who has one and I haven’t gotten to try one out.
But IMHO, it’s a good idea to pack a ton of little gadgets into one. The only thing I see wrong with it is the price tag.
@dorothy: sorry, its the boulder from verizon. and while it is much more shock resistant than an iphone, it sucks as a fist-sized, message sending rock. i would have made the connection to the next strip had i waited a day to post i guess.
I saw an iRock on ebay. its a rock with an “i” on it. Of course im waaaay to smart to buy a rock with an “i” on it, so i made one. yeah, im classy.
Why in hells would you need an iPhone to discern your direction? The sun and a wristwatch can tell you as much. These tech fools are going to make idiots of us all.
“Sent from my iphone” is quicker than, “your boss is answering your question from somewhere other than his desk and does not have all his reference material on hand.” I’ll give it that much.
Show some of that think different. Your Jesus Phone that can walk on water and turn water into wine is so preachy that we wouldn’t mind nailing it to a stake in a modern passion play, just to see if it would zombify on the third day.

My girlfriend just got one. She can now tell the phases of the moon, and which direction she is facing.
I’m holding out for the cool phone that just makes calls and clips onto the front of your shirt. It would look like a misshaped inverted V.

my phone is the Boulder. its awesome. and it does what i need it to.

I had hoped you meant your phone was a fist-sized rock.

A fist-sized rock certainly sends a message.

Cat may not have been the first to invent stone tools, but he can still be the first to invent a stone iPhone.
