iPhone Users are Shallow and Vapid

Here's a study from Retrevo painting iPhone users as being shallow and vapid, favoring cool gadgets over intelligence and using their iPhones for dubious purposes. Well, you'd hardly see this type of behavior from Java ME cell phone users. ;-)

See:

iPhone Users are Shallow

Here's a quote: 

 Retrevo asked, "What makes a 
 person most attractive to you?" 
 iPhone owners preferred cool 
 gadgets over a college degree 
 three to one.

 One in three iPhone owners say 
 that, if their partner had out-
 of-date gadgets, it would be a 
 turnoff.
Falsetto Voice: "Hello, I'm an iPhone owner. My favorite turn-ons are USB flash drives shaped like sushi and applications that make funny bodily noises. My turn-offs are people who have read Shakespeare and have a better 3G connection that me. Hmpfh! They soooo suck."

Of course, we are. Think about it - who would carry around a phone where their behavior is tuned around drop calls. "Yeah, I'm back - let's wrap this up before we get another drop". I have been using my iPhone as a recipe book more than a cell phone. Fear not, though Apple has SMS and multi-media mail - so we really don't have to use it as a phone - we can simply text each other. Sorry my text con-call is starting up, gotta go.
