I don't want an iPhone - "Tsunami"
Why not you ask? Everybody whos anybody is getting one you say? Well why don't you just think about it for a second. Two words for you: opposable. thumbs.
That's right, I said it. Apple is basically discriminating against those of us who lack opposable thumbs. For that matter, I don't even have fingers for crying out loud! I personally am totally outraged that a product of this magnatude - this freakin cool - is totally out of my reach. Literally.
I mean, just look at the picture on your left. It's not like our feet and hands are simple by any means. We've got lots of parts in there that do lots of important things. I don't really know how it all works, but it just does and I'm okay with that.
Now, take a look at your hand. Yeah, the one on the mouse right now. Just hold it up and take a nice long look at it. No, your hand dummy, not the mouse. See, the fact is you have fingers and an opposable thumb. If you want my honest opinion, the whole fingers and thumb thing is over-rated. Ever get a splinter? Hmm? Ever get your finger caught in a closing door? Yeah, that is what I thought. Ever see a horse with those problems. Bingo baby.
I think the bottom line here is that Apple is just being plain lazy. They could have made the phone work for us too, they just didn't feel like it - and that hurts, way down deep. Just think of all the great things I could do if I had an iPhone.
I could bring up a google map so that we wouldn't get lost in the woods anymore. Or, I could listen to some Zepplin while I'm out on a ride. It would help me ignore the endless nattering of all the people tagging along.
Best of all, I could text and email all my homies whenever I wanted. Say I'm out on a walk and I spot a hottie. I could snap a picture with the integrated camara and email it back to Duster or Comanche.
Man, I could even blog while I'm out on a ride using the intergrated browser! That thing is sweet! But it's all for nothing. Because the fact still remains that I don't have fingers or thumbs and I don't see that situation changing anytime soon. I could use a prosthetic you say? I would not give Apple the pleasure. Besides, we don't even get thumbs with the peg leg, so what is the point in even trying?
