On 2nd thought, we’re not so blown away by the i-Thingy

After some further reading we're now underwhelmed with it. Here is what was presented at Macworld: a cell phone bigger than the biggest PDA, branded with a name that is currently owned by someone else,and is not yet a finished product- as a NY Times reviewer wrote: "As I tapped my way into obscure corners of the phone, Mr. Jobs pointed out a couple of spots where only a placeholder graphic was available." And if you think Apple offers an improvement over your current suck-ass phone, ever seen the line at your local the Genius Bar?

The more we look at this thing, the less it looks like a revolutionary phone, and the more it looks like one of those cool concept cars unveiled every year at an auto show, only to never be seen again.

We're not sold on the touchscreen dialing, either. We’re 72 hours away from purchasing a new phone, and at this point it looks like a 3 way tie between the BlackJack, the Q, and the Blackberry. The i-ma-whats-it's not worth waiting for. (Anyone use either of the 3 phones just mentioned? We'd love to hear from you.)

We stand by our original assessment, however, that the touchpad is a remarkable breakthrough in computing.

*An interesting thing happened as soon as we posted this. Our Blog got spammed. We can only assume that the i-You-know-what is a magnet for spam bots, and hence it shall not be named on this site.
