How Not to Build a Cellphone

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-seriously dept.

Jamie found an NYT story about a new t-mobile Shadow phone which starts off by talking about how Apple is changing the phone game by wrestling power from the carriers, and then discussing what could be a reasonable piece of hardware. And then how it is wrecked by software. The phone has wait screens, a task manager, odd error messages etc. Makes for an amusing read.

    We don't reward people for being funny

    I think that on /. people are quite easily rewarded for being funny. I think you are being an asshat, and a major one at that. Pogue's mistakes have been already pointed out in this wonderful evening, and i think better than i could do it. Please read, there are plenty of +5 interesting and + 5 insightful comments here regarding that. And as for my conflict of interests, i didn't receive 2700 USD for a review like he did.
