No More iPhone Sales In NYC

Chris Jones — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 20:33:44 +0000

There’s no doubt that iPhone users are the most passionate mobile consumers out there. There is very little left for a human to do at this point that an iPhone app hasn’t been created to do for us.

That passion that iPhone users are famous for is also apparently causing AT&T to have a meltdown. The data traffic created in large cities by iPhone users is so severe that AT&T has stopped selling the iPhone in New York City.

If you attempt to purchase one online and you live in New York — “this package is no longer available in your area.” AT&T claims New York simply doesn’t have enough cell phone towers to handle all the traffic.

It’s pretty sad that AT&T’s infrastructure is in such sad ass shape that it’s on the verge of collapse from iPhone users, but I guess it is.

I say leave the iPhone to the kiddies, and get yourself a Blackberry.

TwitterPeek: A Weird Device You Don’t Need

The TwitterPeek is quite possibly the most pointless device man has ever created. It’s a small handheld device that does Twitter — only Twitter. It looks like a smart phone and is about the same size and weight — but all it does is Twitter.

I have no idea how well the TwitterPeek works, but the real question is why do I care? What difference does it make if it works good or not? Why should I carry around a second device for doing something my Blackberry already does — and does quite well?

Oh, I also forgot to mention the TwitterPeek costs $200.

No thanks.

Video: First Look At Motorola Droid

CNET has a video review for the new Motorola Droid. It does look like a pretty sweet phone, but I doubt it’s going to do much damage to the iPhone. For me, Blackberry is the only way to go.

Also, PC WORLD has a review for the Droid.
