Comments on: Won't someone think of the children?!

Some hilarious pre-iPhone launch FUD.

[Bergamot Orange]

I think all iPhone ads should include

"This [the iPhone] is a pretty slick phone" - Rob Enderle

at the bottom.

Not because there will be any shortage of good reviews, of course, but just to **** the guy off.

Well said Mr. Bergamot Orange

Hey, it's a quote on public record now. Apple should definitely use it in the
advertising out of spite.

What a tool.

[Dave Metzener]

I second that opinion!

No, really! Well said Bergamot Orange!

Don't.....

Feed teh trolls. Don't.

references to Rob Enderle

It should be a requirement of electronic journalism that any reference to the
Enderle Group carry a notation that the "group" consists of two people, one of
whom, Mary, is never quoted or referred to. And that references by the Enderle
Group to Apple products are often "out in left field."

[Freddy Racoonish]

bearing in mind that...

left field, in Enderle's case, is actually somewhere on the other side of Pluto. (A pity Enderle's not out there himself.)

On the other hand, he's always good for a laugh.

And Bergamot Orange's excellent suggestion gets my vote too.

Speak of the Devil!

RoughlyDrafted.com has a story today "Secret iPhone Details Lost in a Sea of
Hype and Hate" with Enderle calling the iPhone "damned" (!) and an article before
that, an explanation of why Enderle is such a hack... how all the analyst
companies he's touched, from Giga/Forrester to Dataquest to Gartner have been
anti-open source and anti-Apple, basically all anti-choice and pro Microsoft.

But you're right, the real prob is lazy journalists who cite his crazy talk.

[The Nerg]

Leave the trolls under the bridge

The only way Enderle gets any hits is by upsetting the people that 'know'. Sorry, I meant 'think clearly'. He's in a club that has one member. I only wish my own self proclaiming BS was as good as his. Except it doesn't have to be ;)

[ddspell]

Lawsuit Expected

There will be lawsuit. Why? Because Apple has deep pockets and people are greedy. If someone has an accident, adult or teenager, while using an iPhone, they will blame Apple when they should blame themselves. I'm sure the iPhone will have all sorts of warnings about not using the iPhone while driving, but that won't stop people from doing it. If there aren't warnings about such, I'd be surprised.

[Miche Doherty]

"Rob Enderle - the lazy journalist's best friend."

I'd like to suggest that henceforth Enderle be referred to as "principal analyst in the Enderle pyjamas." That gives a better idea of the scope of the operation than "Enderle Group."

Texting whilst driving?

In the UK, you're not allowed to use a mobile phone whilst driving. At all. Not even for just answering it when it rings (unless you have a hands-free kit). I'm astounded that the same law doesn't exist in the US, but even more astounded that Enderle interprets its absence as 'open day' on a phone manufacturer.

[YMS-Leader]

texting while driving...

Yea, there's a law going into effect in California in January 2008, that will not allow cellular use while driving unless you have a hands-free kit. Should have had this 5 years ago...but we can't expect our lawmakers to be on the edge of technology...most of them can't even type.

Flash on phones

Just for the record, Flash is supported on the following devices: http://www.adobe.com/mobile/supported_devices/handsets.html

[Macalope]

The Macalope's error

That's a long list and the Macalope's error in this regard is partly due to the fact that most of the phones that support Flash are only available in Japan and that most of the ones that support Flash that are available in America support it only as a stand-alone application, not through a browser. Its usefulness drops somewhat substantially when it's not available within the browser.

iPhone drop and scratch test

Hmm. Boy that iPhone sure is a very fragile thing. Oh wait, it's not.
