Thursday February 21, 2008 | Stupid iPhone Commercial | Computers |
The latest iPhone commercial tells me it's great to have an iPhone because I can "see the trail map while I'm on the mountain."
Really?
I feel so foolish carrying around that free paper map!
<sarcasm>
When I'm sitting on a chair lift, 50 feet over deep snow and wearing bulky gloves, my first inclination is to take out my $600 iPhone to look at the trail map. After I drop it, I'm sure that, in four months after the snow has melted, the friendly hikers bears who find it will return it to me.
</sarcasm>
Also, does anyone really expect to get 5 bar signal strenth and WiFi at the top of a mountain?
This is almost as bad as Bryce, the pilot, who had the tower move up his plane's departure time because he could see weather maps on his phone.
