iPhone Winning Converts

July 06, 2007 By: Leslie Poston Category: iPhone

According to MamaPop, all it took was five minutes playing with an iPhone to make a hardcore PC code monkey fall in love and buy one. Any Apple lovers out there just thought “well, no shit, sherlock”, but PC lovers may be confused. Without becoming one of those Apple users, let me just say that the reason Apple’s tag line is “It Just Works”… is because it’s true. And now I want an iPhone even more. Save faster, self!

So what in the world possessed him to cross over to the dark side and plunk down several hundred dollars on a phone we totally do not need?

Simple. Because he spent five damn minutes playing with one at work.

That was all it took to turn an eye-rolling skeptic into a panting, wide-eyed lunatic who HAD TO HAVE AN iPHONE.

One of my favorite selling points of the iPhone, according to MamaPop? Settling fights in bars. Now that is a reason to have an iPhone this AppleGrrl can really get behind!

The web browser is freaking mind-blowing. It took me forever before I could use it without my jaw dropping and my tongue rolling out. The last time I had a reaction like this to a piece of electronics was the first time I hit the pause button on my brand-new TiVo. Like, holy shit. It’s the goddamn Internet. On my phone. Tap and zoom and scroll and resize the page…all with your fingers, with no stripped-down text-only versions of the websites to struggle through. It’s easy and intuitive and looks gorgeous. The iPhone will let you surf IMDB and Wikipedia the way God intended and for their true purpose: to settle fights in bars.

Seriously, go read the blog at MamaPop about their amazing new iPhone. Heck, you should be reading MamaPop anyway – those chicks are on the cusp of pop culture – the cusp, I tell you.
