The dark side: the iPhone - Part 1

Evil Iphone

The iPhone is the gadget of the year, there's no discussion. After the commercial success of the Wii, the iPhone was world record sales, and with the arrival of its second edition (3G) is expected to selling enlarge them.

There are hundreds of web pages with reviews and comments, people raving about the phone, the technological revolution that means, and the move by Apple with this device. It's time to see the dark side of the beast.

I have a 2G iPhone 3 months ago and I love it, I think a beautiful toy and allows me to have fun in many ways to watch movies, read books, listen to music, talking on the phone, play games, remotely manage Windows desktops, draw funny pictures , and why not also make them jealous.

But in the country of Alicia's not all wonderful. Day to day this cell phone so appealing shows some serious shortcomings in basic features are completely absent, some obvious and reasonable by the inexperience of Apple in the design of cell phones, and other matters of domestic policy for Apple's market that are super rigid and many seem absurd.



One of the most basic and unforgivable lack of functionality is that of an audible warning when battery capacity is low (10% - 20%). This is in daily use is super annoying, because you usually leave the phone on at night (accidentally or intentionally), and morning found a phone fully discharged, key moment in which one has the same to leave, either to talk while driving your car, or listening to music on public transport, but ... forget it ... was discharged without notice. This happens to me at least 2 times a week and is not nothing nice, and seems not so difficult to resolve by Apple, which seems to ignore the problem.

Another missing basic functionality is really irritating, especially something specifically be voluntary on the part of Apple, is all about Bluetooth services. The cut brings ALL phone features Bluetooth the standard default and can only be used to connect to devices such as "hands free", you can use to connect to nothing more than that, forget about passing photos, images, video or music to through the Bluetooth.
