Technology Mashup

Popular gadgets really turn me off, but nothing has me hurtling towards brain calcifying boredom quicker than an iPhone 3G owner.

Yes, it's reasonably attractive, it does some fairly neat things, but it's too big, too buggy and too expensive.

I've also lived through decades of must have gadgets, and believe me this one isn't even in the top 20 of all time coolness. Every time one is produced I fantasise about skimming it across a murky piranha infested lake. You would need to rub butter all over one just to grease it up enough to drop it into a pint of beer!

I'm at a complete loss as to why this seems to be the pocket version of a 'a new numberplate'. So just for the record:

1. No I don't want to see it, put it back in with your pocket mulch
2. I don't care what app you just downloaded unless it turns the iPhone into a stun gun I can use to give you electro-convulsive therapy
3. Stop staring at the phone and asking it why it hasn't switched to WiFi
