Apparently, CNN thinks the iPhone is the greatest thing since sliced bread. To me, its just a phone. Yeah, a phone that maybe has some awesome features and the sleek (read expensive) style of Apple, but a phone nonetheless.
Michael Gartenberg disagrees with me though, who said:
"This is the most anticipated phone since Alexander Graham Bell did his."
OK, where do I begin. First off, I don't believe Alexander Graham Bell's phone was anticipated all that much, considering it was the first phone ever. I pretty certain that the Michael Gartenberg equivalent at the New York Tribune was not waiting on pins and needles for the release of Bell's phone.
Secondly, that is a whole lot of hyperbole going on there. I mean, the Northern Atlantic Model 20 was highly anticipated, and was the toast of the town back in 1904.
If the iPhone is the pinnacle of technological innovation, than humanity is in trouble.
