iPhone – Why Do You Have to be a Douche?

Sorry about the lack of updates, but I’ve been busy with Futurelooks and all the work that CES 2009 has caused. I’m not complaining. It’s definitely a good thing to be busy, especially when a lot of people are worried about their jobs.

Some of you might know from my Twitter Updates that I had been looking for a new phone and ended up picking up a Blackberry BOLD just after the New Year. Though the iPhone 3G is a fine gadget/toy, I know that I’d probably just become one of those guys showing off stupid apps that serve no purpose (or need to upgrade because Apple finally decided to catch up and include stereo bluetooth and video in the new model). In fact, Ed Lau struggled with this same question of how useless most iPhone apps seem to be. It definitely doesn’t help that every week at Dot Com Pho, stupider and stupider apps keep showing up.

I have to say that I do become more and more happy with my Blackberry as each day goes by. The real QWERTY keyboard is great and I’m not messing with trying to Jailbreak it (after every software update bricks it) to give it features that a cutting edge smartphone should have in the first place like “cut and paste”. Instead of mucking with useless apps, I’m getting stuff done, usually before I even get out of bed in the morning. It just does what it’s supposed to do without complaint.

Of course I’ve been surfing the Interwebs for even more things I can do with the Blackberry BOLD and have come across some pretty cool sites like CrackBerry.com. While perusing the site, I came across this video that absolutely cracked me up. I’m sorry iPhone Gary, but this is just too funny…

For the record, iPhone Gary is NOT a douche like the gadget he worships. In fact, he’s a very cool guy and friend. However, he is one of those guys that shows us a whole lot of useless iPhone apps all the time. I would love to see him come up with some useful apps to show off at upcoming Dot Com Pho’s, like an “iPhone Is Useful Dot See Eh” segment. Just leave the useless apps for John Chow to go with his Fart Apps, Beer Apps and the even more useless Twitter Shout Outs.
