Radio on iPhone?

[The Large One]

I've got FM radio on my iPod. Does that count?

 

[Mellotron]

I have two in my house, owned by a middle aged woman and a teenage girl respectively. That is my understanding of the demographic they appeal to.

And I'm assuming they're both Nathan Barley types, yes? Of course they are.

Wish I'd said that, that's pure Alan Bennett.

To be fair, a Walkman couldn't do much. An iPhone will ACTUALLY make you breakfast.

an iphone does 3/8ths of f*** all apart from separate mugs from cash swiftly and efficiently.

I'm guessing:

A> You don't own one, so are guessing as to what an iPhone can or can't do.
B> Wouldn't know how to get even 10% use out of it even if you did.

No matter what, you lot just come across as bitter at being left behind. Honestly that's how it looks. You have proved yourself that to suggest that only "trendys" buy iPhones is ridiculous and insanely ignorant.

Now will you leave everyone in peace to enjoy their iTwattery?

I made pornography appear on my iPhone. Everyone loves a bit of Apple Grumble!

mate i have bought two. i have been shown at length by children what they do and have feigned interest. i have set them up on the wifi. i have picked them up off the floor to stop the dog chewing them when the novelty has worn off a couple of weeks later.

I am not bitter at all. i love to see people happy with them. its just grown men whittering on about toys I think is a bit silly.

At 23 I don't really consider myself a grown man. I probably should. I know what you mean though. They are basically toys.

Too late. I'm weeping. Luckily I've got the new iTears app, counts the moisture, regularity and emotional depth of my crying.

Useful, eh?

I thought that's what grown men did?

I'm thirty-several, and I LOVE toys, me.

No iPhone though, quite happy with my 5800, although if I could, I probably would- for all it's iPhone killer strategy, it isn't.
I do have an fm radio on it, and I could listen to Sussex cricket on it via Realplayer, and 6music too- so it pretty much does what I want it to.


AND I can 'phone people on it!

yes but make them excessively powerful for domestic use chainsaws, or drills that can go through concrete bunkers like butter. or f***ing massively overpowered motor.

not something you can go on facebook on.

most people on here will think he is the bloke who plays moldovans at tennis in his hilarious travelogues.

Well a small processor with a very very average operating system can lots of things if you program it to do it. That's not down to the phone.

Just like the MP3 player and the graphical user interface on the first Macs, Apple are very clever at getting people to believe that somehow they came up with the idea and there's is the best way of doing it.

That's what people buy into, the myth that anything else is simply a cheaper variant of an Apple idea.

A lot of style but lacking in substance. Stick some white headphones on it and the consumer will lap it up.

Thats the one thing I didn't like with my iPhone - the headphones. I kept the ones from my Sony MP3 player - much better.
