The Apple iPhone and all the hype behind it

By Bobby Roberts

Of all the American inventions reviews about the Apple iPhone has been seen as a much hyped product of all. Although it has made Apple a tremendous amount of money it has also been suggested as one of the most reviled creation in the American history. Compared with Edsel. New Coke. Apple Ipod? Coke (which tasted just like Pepsi) Edsel (named after a draft-dodging member of the Ford family). People are apparently curious about the Apple iPhone it would appear.

Rating it with other with phones

One of the most popular viral videos since the iPhone's much-hyped 2007 release is that of a blender seller sticking in an iPhone and turning on the machine. This was to show off the strength of the blender, but also seemed to be a more than cutting Apple iPhone review by the blender seller. The fact that the video went viral and became so popular (more so than the blender it sells, the Blendtec) means that many others seemed to agree with this particular Apple iPhone review.

Sorry, Steve Jobs

Although you could go to a high tech website such as CNet.com to read geek's Apple iPhone reviews, they sometimes are a bit difficult to understand with all of the jargon and techno-babble. If you want to know what an iPhone is like, you need to read Apple iPhone reviews written by the average person. You can find them practically anywhere online by just typing "Apple iPhone review" into your favorite search engine.

It begins, "Sorry, Steve Jobs, but I hate your effing iPhone" Although I can't reproduce any more of the review here. Perhaps not exactly Pulitzer Prize winning material It does give you all the clues about how good a device an iPhone is. The review can be found on Helium.com written by Cara Volle.

The iPhone device has been reported to disturbingly get actually very hot when in use. But most of the complaints about the iPhone come from its choice of AT&T as network carrier. The picture superiority of its camera is said to be poor and streamlining video still has a lot of bugs to iron out. Computer security experts have also found ways to hack into an iPhone - which means if they can do it, so can cyber criminals.

Whenever a new techie toy appears, there are bound to be bugs that only customers can find. You need to wait for at least a year after their release for these bugs to be resolved somehow.
