I kinda agree on the part that "You try to build a universal device that does all things for all people, and guess what? It doesn't do anything very well" But it seems like it's doing a pretty good job of it. I would hate to have to lug around a mp3 player, camera, laptop, phone, etc with me everyday everywhere I go, instead I love having it all in one device! Makes it a lot easier and it's always there when I need it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[VertoX7]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 30th 2008 6:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cell Phone Inventor Says iPhone Is Too Complicated]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/30/cell-phone-inventor-says-iphone-is-too-complicated/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/30/cell-phone-inventor-says-iphone-is-too-complicated/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks for the comment Mr. Cooper.  Some people disagree, just take a look at the quarterly report of Apple and Motorola.  It shows the amount of disagreement with you and your Company.  I remember Motorola used to be in the cell phone business for profit, alas today?   (Let' s hope, Andomeda may help your Company out of the rut)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gybognarjr]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 30th 2008 8:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cell Phone Inventor Says iPhone Is Too Complicated]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/30/cell-phone-inventor-says-iphone-is-too-complicated/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/30/cell-phone-inventor-says-iphone-is-too-complicated/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree with him.<br><br>Phones should be kept phones....<br><br>If you need ultra-mobile computing, get a real micro-computer (PDA, PPC, UMPC, Pandora)<br><br>If you want to listen to music, get a small music player. (The ones with a clip that you can, well, clip in your pants, or shirt, or wherever)<br><br>If you can't carry those three things, something's seriously wrong with you. <br>You shouldn't be _that_ weak...<br><br>Those three things together measure and weight less than a single 1997-ish cellphone, but you will get much more functionality than with any smartphone you can think of... Not to mention the multiplied battery life, and the fact that you can go with your PDA to places where phones are not permitted, or leave everything but your cheap phone at home when going to dangerous places]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DarkLight]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 30th 2008 9:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cell Phone Inventor Says iPhone Is Too Complicated]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/30/cell-phone-inventor-says-iphone-is-too-complicated/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/30/cell-phone-inventor-says-iphone-is-too-complicated/</guid><description><![CDATA[There's PDAs and Smartphones for the high-tech and business crowd, and basic phones for those who want a phone that makes and recieves calls.<br><br>Technological convergence is a big part of the present and future, and it's not going to change.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ryan C]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 30th 2008 11:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cell Phone Inventor Says iPhone Is Too Complicated]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/30/cell-phone-inventor-says-iphone-is-too-complicated/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/30/cell-phone-inventor-says-iphone-is-too-complicated/</guid><description><![CDATA[In many ways "convergence" has already been a negative. The ubiquitous access to EVERYTHING is a huge distraction in many cases. How empty is your life if you need all this crap all the time. How about we go to work and actually do something useful instead of sending stupid e-mails back and forth. And by the way, that earpiece and your overbearing voice make you look and sound like an attention-starved idiot....sorry, but nobody is impressed. Go take a walk in the woods once in a while without your electronic pacifier appendages. Or go change the sparkplugs on your car, or paint the garage, or ANYTHING USEFUL for a change. More than 1 hour a day or so on the computer/phone/crackberry/Wii/x-box/etc. etc. turns your brain to mush and your ass to cottage cheese. Look it up on Wiki if you don't believe me.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RICH]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 30th 2008 11:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cell Phone Inventor Says iPhone Is Too Complicated]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/30/cell-phone-inventor-says-iphone-is-too-complicated/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/30/cell-phone-inventor-says-iphone-is-too-complicated/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is like saying that computers are too complex. The iPhone is simply a platform. If you wanted, you could simply develop software that offers fewer features or disable features you don't need. Apple, in particular, has mastered the concept of human interface standardization. The learning curve on Apple's products does not get steeper as you dig further into them. The level of difficulty stays constant. Thanks to Apple's approach, you won't be learning from scratch if you've experienced any other Apple product in the past. Just about any other cell phone manufacturer would make a better example of clunky, overly-complex design.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LuckySkier]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 31st 2008 12:22AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cell Phone Inventor Says iPhone Is Too Complicated]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/30/cell-phone-inventor-says-iphone-is-too-complicated/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/30/cell-phone-inventor-says-iphone-is-too-complicated/</guid><description><![CDATA[The iPhone does a great job at everything! Why would I carry around an ipod, cell phone, calendar, web browser, and camera all on a separate device? There are CERTAIN phones that suck, but that doesn't mean they all suck.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 1st 2008 2:37PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
