Jud Stephenson has got some nerve. I find his post on the “Top Five Reasons the iPhone will Fail†to just be offensive.
Granted, he does point out some of the major flaws with the iPhone. Such things as the design being too modern, unlike some of the more sophisicated Motorola phones. (see above) Also, the UI is much too simple for it to be taken seriously in the business world. He claims that the simple interface makes it usable by anyone, thereby diminishing the 'elite' status of its users. I also agree that Apple really needs to step up their marketing of the iPhone. Jud conducted a survey and found that 9 out of 10 people in South Alabama hadn't even heard of the iPhone. That's just embarrassing.
Even though you've discovered some giant flaws with the iPhone, you could at least have the common courtesy to keep them to yourself. We don't take kindly to people that don't take kindly to the iPhone.
Thanks Jud!

Hi,
Jud’s pointers to the failures of the iphone sounds satirical to me, if not theaterical, a comedy. It reminds me of “the defence of Bagdad” by the “brave” ex-information or disinformation minister of Iraq even when his office was surrounded. Good luck, Jud.
I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure Chris was kidding too…perhaps he was being a bit satirical. You know a joke in response to the other joke.
ABSOLUTELY. A. JOKE.
I cant take Jud’s article seriously. His points almost seem satirical in that he points out all of the good things about the iPhone and then finds some obscure reason why those are bad things.
i really, really, really hope he’s kidding….
i think it’s safe to say that he’s j/k around
