I found this article on the New York Times website this morning. http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/14/report-looks-at-trends-with-mobile-apps/?ref=technology
The article grabbed my attention because I think that it helps explain the recent troubles I have been having with the most expensive piece of junk I have ever purchased, an iPhone 3G. I cannot hear on the phone. Plain and simple. I thought that the problem was that maybe I had a bad phone, but this article has changed my opinion. I am pretty sure, after looking at these numbers, that Apple decided to skip on the phone part of their "cell phone" and make a portable gaming device that will also answer some phone calls that are made to the number it associates with, and that some of those phone calls will be clear enough for the two parties to reach an understanding. If that was the purpose of the iPhone development, then they were wildly successful. As for me, I still want to be able to make phone calls from time to time, so I am considering a upgrading to a bag phone for the future.
