I thoroughly enjoyed it... I've always thought these devices should have a shower installation of some sort, you know... take a shower anywhere... ;-) Excellent post, Wayne!

It’s these little details that let the whole product down.

What about a mass spectrometer? Or a magnetometer?

Straight away, chemists and geophysicists are just pushed to one side.

Hi Tim, nice to see you around these parts again.

The number of so-called commentators pokin’ holes in the iPhone for not supporting this feature or that just made me roll my eyes and sigh.

Yeah, if Microsoft were doing this, there’d be about 9 different versions of the iPhone. But this isn’t Microsoft and while they do try to please everyone, it’s a fools errand to even try.

So this is my parody of all those daft pre-release pseudo-reviews floatin’ around…

Thanks for brightening up an otherwise dull day.<br/><br/>I'd like to think I'll get one, mostly for the video bits on the iPod size -- one spends a lot of time waiting around when one is sat in a wheelchair.

I’d like to think I’ll get one, mostly for the video bits on the iPod size — one spends a lot of time waiting around when one is sat in a wheelchair. I’ll probably wait an update of some kind first.

Also: Wayne? Tight? I always assumed he was quite loose …

I think the iPhone is a sublime piece of design, but it’s also likely to be bloody expensive, too.

I’m holding out for Apple and Sony working to combine the PlayStation 3 with the iPhone into the same form factor.

Only then will I buy one…

Trouble is, I can't tell whether or not you're serious about NOT buying one, either! I won't be - I'm too tight. Great post, Wayne.
