Jungle

The web is a jungle. Most smartphones are swiss army knives. The iPhone is a machete.
I read yet another comment on a blog today that said something along the lines of: "I don't understand the iPhone craze. My phone can do so much more and I've had it on [insert carrier here] for a year."
The iPhone -- and most Apple products for that matter -- is not about bullet points. It's about solving problems well. If you want bullet points, the Nokia N95 has a fantastic set. GPS, 5 megapixel camera, media controls, and so much more. Microsoft's also very much a bullet point kind of company. But bullet points don't tell the whole story. Consider:
McDonald's hamburger
- Meat
- Buns
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Onions
- Pickles
Outback steak
- Meat
Wow, that burger sure has a lot more features! But I know which one I'd rather eat.
