Sean Robertson

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> @Owen Thomas: Yeah, that one. Duh...sorry bout that!

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> I would be interested in the real smut, some sort of "inside baseball" account of the iPhone, something like Soul of a New Machine that would delve into the politics and the engineering.

I agree with Owen that there wasn't much new in the article.

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> @TorkLugnutz: Yeah, but they also do more shameless product whoring, too, so it balances out.

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> "Even the iPhone's hardware and software teams were kept apart"
... and it shows.

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> @parjoe: A link, like the one right up there in the first sentence, you mean?

Owen Thomas

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> @smacm: Why did I omit it? Because that point is so obvious, made so many times. Does Wired somehow deserve credit for the "insight," so obviously and unnecessarily tacked onto the end of this feature?

Owen Thomas

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> @B@tM@n: I totally agree with your point about the blog haters. This is hardly a "story" in the first place, so I definitely wouldn't want to waste more than a minute on it.
And Wired is one of the most tedious tech rags out there. It would have been nice if you guys gave them a link though.

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> @danz32: No; keeping hardware and software teams from seeing each other is a recipe for a prototype that doesn't work.

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> -Verizon turned them down because Apple wanted a piece of the monthly specifically $7-10 a motnh- which they are getting from AT&T. I have a "friend" who works for the company that lobbies for AT&T.

So when all you macf@gs are shelling out the clearly outrageous fees for a device that doesn't support the full and free web-kuddos. Nothing like paying monthly fees for individual apps that are free on the web. YAY!! Intels MID smoke the iPhone!

P.S. To all the blog haters out there-I'd rather read 140 words of funny, bottom line, meat only content, than read some journalist ramble on because he gets paid $.20 a word. The whole point of this kind of blog is to fill a need where other "journalists" have been wasting our time. Sum it up! I don't have time to read a hashed together bible of crap especially when the article is wrong about the industry.

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> Hrm. So what would this be revision 2 of? Surely, not this.

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> You totally missed the main point of the article, which was the impact that the iPhone is having on the industry, specifically the relationship between device manufacturers and the telcos.

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> Hey! What's the deal? They didn't talk about the cancelled cocksleeve add-on, the iFap?!

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> And that is the reason that M$ does not have the zune phone yet. Apple learned their lesson, which is why Steve is so secretive about everything they do.

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> I was just thinking a minute ago that the Gizmodo Bill Gates interview sucked. I wouldn't be surprised if he declined to talk to you guys again. I checked your front page after having read the Wired article and expected that the "real" untold story would contain novel information. However, you've done the opposite. You have created a cheap rehash that displays not one whiff of authorial or even editorial skill and completely misses the broader important point that the Wired article was making (namely, that the iPhone's introduction was instrumental in beginning what we can only hope is eventually a total transformation of the wireless industry). You, sirs, are a low, low form of Ad-whores. Please remove yourself from the internet.

Either that was a very bad diss or I totally missed the <sarcasm> tag


yelohbird

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> Other little known facts:

The iphone contains an unknown substance that fell to earth in the late 70's.

If the iphone was accidently dropped, engineers were instructed to immediately leave the vicinity and head to their nearest fall-out shelter.

The engineers code name was HaFoP, or Happy Fun Phone

Engineers were not to taunt Happy Fun Phone

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> The lengths they went to in order to keep it a secrt is pretty impressive

]]> <![CDATA[The real untold story of the iPhone]]> Wired does more legitimate journalism in a year than you do on your worst day.

Chew on that one.
