A systemically premeditated promotional campaign followed up by an epic release of the iPhone –and after jostling in those queues, you went home proudly to show your cherished possession.
Honey, I got the iPhone.
Oh my God!
So, that’s it. No, like every other twisted melodrama, the story unfolded to leave you speechless.
Though, I have already given my verdict over this forbidden fruit, but now that we are embracing 2008, it’s the right time to remember this bluffer.
Just to remind you:
1.Apple iPhone does not support 3G!
2.Its 2 megapixels camera lacks autofocus and flash.
3.Forget about third party applications.
4.Irreplaceable battery.
Above all, it is preposterously costly.
Apple has a lot to learn to prove itself in the world of mobile phones. As far as Apple iPod is concerned –we just love it. But, Sorry folks, your iPhone is pathetic.

Apple iPhone: The biggest Bluffer of 2007

The genesis of Mobilism
How abjectly crippled do you feel if you & your cellphone are estranged for a day? The sense of loss,ennui & isolation bordering on paranoia? Just how chronic & infectious is our almost paralytic subservience to technology?
Relax! This opening note is not a premonition of any impending Judgement Day when the human fate will be signed, sealed & delivered by some creepy,wiry, self-replicating squids of our own ingenuity & invention!!!
What i'm referring to is the metamorphosis in the axes of Time & Space that have altered the "matrix" of our existence ( intellectual masturbation...i know). From being an elitist auxiliary of the privileged few, mobile phones are now ubiquitous & cardinal to our perception of time & space ( oops! that almost broke my jaw!). So much so that we have decided to add a new 'ism'to our urban dictionary - Mobilism
The gospel of Mobilism is to unravel the mystery of mobiles & gadgets we love, hate, use, abuse but simply cant ignore! Our testament is writ from the consumers point of view & we follow every letter of it. Amen
