Well, it seems some people think that they are superior with their iPhone. While I find it highly amusing that the Applezoids find themselves superior due to A: The fact that they have all this extra money laying around that they can prove it by buying an expensive phone, B: That they relate to the “trendy” Apple dude (*snicker* keep dreaming), and C: That because the rest of the sheep of the world have used the above excuses, it’s good enough for them, I find it laughable. People seem to think that because they have this big, expensive phone that they are “superior.” This is what made me laugh, and what made me respond that “No, you’re all just sheep for following the hype”:

*eye roll*
So your PHONE makes you genetically superior, according to a study. Just the fact that someone felt insecure enough about themselves to create such a “study” and that someone else is insecure enough to identify with said “study” should be enough to make any thinking person laugh. But, like sheep, they must traipse along after the hype. I lol at this person on Twitter for a few posts, then they decide they are going to blog about how superior the phone is.
Just for the fact that @creativereason felt the need to BLOG about this is quite laughable. So, in response, here’s what I can do with my $50 Windows Mobile device, which is a TMobile Shadow, or HTC Juno:

1. Make and receive calls (err, duh).
2. Send and receive text messages (yeah, I’m pretty sure all cells can do this).
3. Send and receive emails and use IMAP and use desktop email via Outlook.
4. Update contacts and calander without synching (via the magic of TMo synch).
5. Take pictures and send them where ever I want.
6. Use Twitter via PockeTwit.
7. If I had enough social networking sites to care about, I’m sure I would be able to update them all with ease. However, I just don’t feel like I need 300 social networking sites to worry with. My Twitter updates my FaceBook. If you can’t find me at either of those, oh well.
8. Dink around with my blog if I wanted to, but I have better things to do when I’m mobile. Like, you know, be mobile.
9. Listen to/stream music from the web and play it via BlueTooth to my car stereo. No need to blow money on satellite radio. I also have earphones if I’m out doing healthy stuff.
10. I don’t care about sports. Thus I don’t seek them when I’m on my phone.
11. See #10
12. Surf the web, which just about any Internet-capable phone can do.
13. I read enough of the Bible when I was a child to know it’s not something I’m interested in reading again.
14. Read eBooks.
15. Watch full length movies.
16. I guess I could listen to my Pandora station if I cared enough to have one. If I’m really hurting for tunes, I can listen to my personal Shoutcast stream or queue up tunes via Winamp Remote so I can listen to everything I have on my desktop while I’m out.
17. I could probably check the weather however, generally I do that before I go out. Or look up at the sky.
18. Get turn-by-turn directions if I’m lost via Garmin GPS app.
19. Use Skype and any other messenger I want.
20. Take notes.
21. Watch web videos.
22. Use Google Maps or Live Search to find stuff that’s around me. And yeah, I can talk to it.
23. I don’t do presentations, so I don’t care about remote controlling my computer via remote desktop.
24. If I’m at a party, I’m going to be DJ’ing via mixing software on my laptop. But if I wanted to just have mobile tunes, I can hook my phone up to speakers, or better yet, use Bluetooth speakers.
25. I could use Bkite if I had that voyeuristic tendancy. However, I prefer to not have people knowing where I am, or where they are.
26. Surf Wikis.
27. Check nutritional values.
28. Again, if I cared about sports, I could probably look them up. I have a browser. *shrug*
29. Check FedEx shipments
30. Err… use an online dictionary? o.O
31. Play any number of games while I’m bored. Or let my kids play games. I think all phones have them.
32. Look at FaceBook. Don’t need an app for that, you can go to the website. There’s a WinMo app for that too, though.
33. I have a calculator on my phone!
34. I don’t use satellite TV. I like having a working television when there’s a storm, when it’s most important. Which is about the only time I look at TV.
35. Set the alarm, and snooze it if I want.

Okay, so there’s his list. Here’s a few of my bonuses, having a WinMo device:

1. I can do these things at the same time. If I want to listen to music and use Twitter, my music doesn’t stop. My media players are nice enough to pause when my phone rings. I can surf websites without my messengers logging off.
2. I have a keyboard, which I can type on pretty quickly. Without looking, because there’s a little bump on the keyboard to orient me.
3. Did I mention I can play my music via Bluetooth?
4. Get free applications by multiple vendors, as opposed to having to use one source for an app. And they are real apps, not just a website that you can download.
5. Play just about any media format I want, even DiVX.
6. Play Nintendo games.

I get OTA updates via Windows Updates (which it does on its own), and if there’s an OS upgrade, I’m eligible for those too.

Really, it’s just a freaking phone with a few flashy things. Who cares. A phone does what? Makes calls. The extra stuff is just bonuses. I could really care less what kind of phone you have. Mine does what I need it to, and it didn’t cost a whole lot. Oh yeah, it also doesn’t make me feel superior.
