The iPhone was a near-perfect mobile device a year ago when it first launched. Sure, there were flaws... But those flaws are gone. Yes, it has no physical keyboard and some people canÔÇÖt yet get over that. And the battery life isnÔÇÖt great. But those are about the only negative things I can say about it.
It was near perfect but wait... it had flaws? All the flaws are gone but are still negative things you can say about it? Well which is it? This is why iphone lovers annoy me and others. Everyone agrees it's a huge technological leap but in one sentence people say it can nevaR lose and in another points out the things wrong with it. Obsessive to the point of delusion, that's fanboism.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
