I know that I am not the only one that has had enough of the Iphone. I don't own one and it is not likely that I will ever own one.

This is not that I don't think that some innovative things are being done with and to the Iphone. Most of what is covered is; Cool gadget! Cool features! Let's hack the beejeusus out of it!

I think what I am suffering from is media induced Iphone burnout. I just don't want to hear, see or read another article about the Iphone. It is after all just a cell phone. I know that the people that write tech articles have to write about something so I am asking you writers to think twice about the next Iphone piece. Just a little. Slow up the juggernaut that the Iphone media blitz this has become. Collectively can't we all just calm down a bit about this thing?

Now normally say something like let's all go outside and enjoy a summer day but it is going to be close to 100F here with high humidity (that is really freaking hot to you folks in C land) so let's go turn off our cell phones and watch a movie!

If you don't care, don't read the articles - it's not that hard.

Not sure why people are -1 you. It seems like an easy concept to me. It's not like DT is shoving this article in anyone's face; don't read it if you are iPhone saturated.

If you dislike the iphone hype then visit this page:

Funny stuff. ;)

As for the hack, if they are bounded to the AT&T network it's probably because of the new network features the iphone uses. This means the hack may not be permanent and AT&T may find a way to block iPhone customers without an iPhone contract.

I agree, the iPhone is the most annoyingly overhyped thing of the year. +1

I agree. Most new cell phones will all have the same features within a year anyway. They will also be practically given away with a new contract.

I was going to say, what does the iPhone provide over other cellphones?

Touchscreen? Already been done in Japan. Granted, not to the same level, but I don't find the functionality of a cellphone touchscreen to be all that worthwhile.

I can tell you what the iPhone doesn't have, that my old cellphone did have. My old cellphone could be used as a credit card, train pass, and door key. I could use it as a remote control for my tv or dvd player. It had GPS functionality. Video calls anyone?

My old cellphone was a Panasonic P902iS for NTT Docomo. A $50 cellphone. It could play music and video also. It came with a MiniSD slot to upgrade the memory. No bluetooth, but that phone came out before bluetooth was popular. Course they have the P903iS phone that came out later that has bluetooth. Then there's the current P904i phones.

Now I have some crappy Samsung phone from TKS Mobile. God US and EU cellphones suck. So do their cellphone plans.

It's Tickle Me Elmo-PS3-Ipod-'Gotta have it just because everyone else has one even if I never take it out of the box just to include the box and price tag in every picture I post on the internet' *breath* syndrome.

No, not even 'gotta have it because everyone else HAS' more like 'gotta have it because everyone else simply WANTS'

The wannabe 733t crowd that buys rotating twisting dancing singling epilepsy inducing gadgets for the fashion statement alone. Disgusting indeed.

Man I laughed so hard out loud at someone ahead of me in line at a store when they tried to return 3 PS3s they waited in line for because they couldn't sell them on Ebay. They wouldn't accept the returns lol.
