Gibberish: Sent from my iPhone
by Joe Malchow

The following was composed as an email to you, the gentle readers of Dartblog, on an iPhone at the Manhattan Apple Store.

Please note that doing this post required the use of my Blackberry’s copy and paste function; the iPhone possesses no such luxury.

Subject: Testing 112

The subject of this email should be testing 123 however bcaue I am doing keyboard test on this iPhone, and bevaue tjwiphonw he fertile lwupars, you do not see tearing 123 instead you we omehin else . R term bout the iPhone is that tjwowuboard is unisabl foe ntpn al wants to type at re rate allowed b by Mosel smartphone suh as the vlaxkbwrry I the trek. The truth is TIA he iPhone relies almost wxcluscwy on hwonstanr text xorrwxtipn. So by word that is not in th built in dictionary will rarely come out because the keyboard is so imprecise.

Oh and onepee thought. There is no period me. I need to switch to a separate punctuation keyboard in orswtto type a period.

I do not know who thought this raul b a food eooduxt. But that person should be sown the road out of Cupertino.


Sent from my iPhone

Those last two lines were intended to read: I don’t know who thought this would be a good product. But that person should be shown the road out of Cupertino.

Before I bid adieu, let me offer two more bet-you-didn’t-knows about the iPhone. The battery life is actually quite bad, and if the phone runs out of battery while you are writing an e-mail, your message is lost. Second, the much publicized YouTube function isn’t much at all. Only certain special videos, not the whole YouTube library, are viewable. Videos from Apple’s competitors, for example, didn’t come up in a search.

Let me assure you that the iPhone looks very, very pretty. But that’s been Apple’s rap for a long while. Here, while companies like Microsoft, Lotus, and RIM toil away on developing solid systems infrastructure to make wireless data work well, Apple has pasted an epileptic animated patina upon decade-old technology. It’s the usual bit.

But gosh, the thing is shiny.
 
Yep,

I went to the Cingular store (oops, I mean ATT store) to look at it. Used the guys IPhone at the store and sent myself an email to the office. I got back. It was not as bad as shown in the starting thread but i would never use that feature to send to a client. They would think I couldn't spell or was drunk off my arse. Either way, Piece of Crap. And unless you carry that phone in your purse, that screen will last all of a week.
 
Like every other new invention, I'll give it 2 years and buy one once they've worked out all the bugs.
