You can look at this in a few ways, you can say that this whole fiasco with a phone that has been out for only two weeks now, has created something positive. Its job creation! Yes, Apple is hiring antenna engineers! So all of you wire and signal nerds who have been unemployed due to the crap economy, here is your big shot. Steve Jobs will love you long time. Steve has finally taken a hint from Bill Gates. If you make machines that you know are flawed, you will need people to fix those flaws and therefore contribute to the job market by hiring. Broken machines keeps people employed. I am one of those people. You really don't want to see me unemployed, not a pretty sight.
Bill Gates must love this. No one is talking about him anymore. Windows 7 is so boring. He needs to do something to get in the news.... oh wait.... Microsoft has their own crap phone which they decided to yank off the market. You know their social network phone the Kin (yeah, I never heard of it either) well they are taking it off the market after only launching it in April. No one bought that mess. Lets take a look at it.
Okay now I see why, It's ugly. It's an ugly ass phone and it doesn't look functional. I can't imagine pulling that out and showing people when they have their cool iphones, htc phones and droids. It looks like one of those specialty phones that they sell to the elderly and toddlers that is probaby called "My first phone" in Walgreens/CVS during Christmas time for last minute gift ideas or informercials that they run through Saturday night to mid-day Sunday. (I watch those a lot. I've bought a lot of shit from there. Don't act like you haven't. You've bought the Shoe Dini too)
Well I say nice try Microsoft and Apple. I guess these phones qualify as an entry in failblog.
