Spouting nonsense like that is really irresponsible, Kyle.
The truth is that the iphone is a sweet little device. With a bluetooth
keyboard, I can read & respond to email about as efficiently as I can on
a desktop. I also use my iphone for skype, streaming media, scanning &
reading text, identifying colors, as a GPS, tracking buses, listening to
books, as an alarm clock, and -- well, I could go on and on. Oh yeah, I
almost forgot, sometimes I use it as a phone.

Well, being part of a botnet is about the only thing an iPhone can do

are quite easy to break into and get your personal information, but
Apple doesn't want us to know that, so they played a nice little PR
game with the FBI in a feeble attempt to let us know that they are all
for privacy and all that, when everyone knows how easy it is to break
into an iPhone and the services it depends on in order to operate.
Well, everyone except, apparently, the FBI, who played along in order
to make the whole big bad government vs. Apple game look realistic.
And no, I don't have an iPhone, and no one could pay me enough to take
one. I have just read far too many articles about people being able to
break into them and the services they force you to use in order to do
anything productive with them. Couple that with the nice little PR
stunt they played with the FBI, capitalizing on an act of terrorism to
try to prove their unhackability, and Apple definitely gets a failing
grade in my book.
