iPhonography Are We Dooomed? - part 3 of 1 2 3

Published 01/08/2010

As the sales have risen to more than 30 million units so the costs have tumbled from an initial $599 to around $99 today.

So now that Apple have turned their full attention to gizmos and gadgets in an attempt to fill the corporate coffers with filthy lucre and seemingly abandoned colour-accurate, colour-manageable computers and software, what are we to do?

Walton has obviously been tempted over to the dark side, dragged into the deep by the wispy-haired Sirens. As we speak, the fish off the South Wales coast are feeding on his mortal flesh - they're wasting their time, there's a lot more flesh on that mate of his he pitched up at the Convention with, the one who ran the 'trash the dress' session before the wedding dress had been worn or seen by anybody.

So what can you do with an iPhone; what can't you do, and why are they so loved by their owners? For starters they are poorly served by their battery life, you need to be thinking about charging them every day as a minimum. As a phone, the reception is poor and interfacing with phones from other Bluetooth networks is a no-no. The latest one has been seriously criticised because holding it in a particular way prevents it from connecting to a network.

As a travelling entertainment device they are excellent; you can, at the time of writing, keep up with the scores at Wimbledon or the World Cup almost instantly. Pictures from matches are uploaded almost right away and video is also available. Finding answers to technical questions brings the whole of Google to your hands, as may the comparative prices of goods. You don't even have to type the name of a product, just scan its bar code and you can get a price comparison immediately.

You will not die without an iPhone but we used to say that about refrigerators!
