SHUT UP ABOUT THE iPHONE ALREADY!

The iPhone is just being too publicized. Seriously people it is just a phone. This is what's going to happen. All of this hype that is going on right now will end the day after the iPhone is released. At $499-$599 the phone does not come cheap. Phones are supposed to be phones. I do not want to check my email or surf the web on a small little screen, that's why I have a computer.

The iPhone is going to end up just like Sony's disastrous PSP. It was over ratted and over-hyped. It came pricey and it has so many capabilities that it doesn't work. Like the PSP the iPhone is going to have an identity crisis. Is it a phone, MP3 player, portable Internet? Do I buy it for the calling plan, do I buy it so I can check my email?

Don't get me wrong, but I personally think the iPhone is pretty neat. It has so many features, but I believe those features are going to be underused. Unless you are the business type who has a hectic schedule and cannot balance your life and has the money - then the iPhone is what you need, it has everything you need in a phone. And just to make a point, I believe this is going to be the largest drawback of the iPhone, the video above illustrates my point.
