I Totally Get It – The iPhone is Awesomer. Let’s Move On
I’ve got a couple of friends who have iPhones now. I’ve held one. I’ve played with one. It is indeed killer. Apple seems to have knocked it out of the park, despite some small snags (there were bound to be nit-picky owners out there) and designed a product that lived up to the asinine levels of hype. Way to go Apple!!
But it’s a new week, and holy cow, there are other things happening in the world! Darren Barefoot sums it all up with a grat parody page – iPhatigue.

A-bloody-men!
I agree. There is a large group who love the iPhone but will not own one due to mobile contracts or financial restrains. Please give us some apple news “for the rest of us”.
I wasn’t excited about the iPhone and I’m still not, but it’s way better than war.
Okay, Nick. Your Apple fanboi ticket is now being revoked!
Look, dudes, iPhone is the most important product Apple has ever shipped. Read that again: most important. DOn’t expect any non-iPhone news from real Apple fans. Report your own if you like, but if you’re expecting everyone else to pretend that there are significant other news in Apple land, you’re being silly.
When there’s no Apple news to report, we all make fun of those goofy “reports” about minute things like minor iTunes Store updates. Now that Apple has entered a whole new market with a revolutionary (and immensely successful) product, you want to look for exactly that kind of non-information by sticking your head in the sand.
Um, the iPhone is dominating technology sites but not news sites in general, and if you can point out some technology news that is more exciting or interesting than the iPhone, I’d be happy to give it a look.
No, the Microsoft $10k “Look, no waitress necessary!” touch table doesn’t count.
I do not agree, the more it is talked about, the more people who were not interested it will start looking, and touching and really thats all it takes to buy one, Oh and $$$. This will drive people to purchase macs all over the place and I can see apples market share continue to grow in leaps and bounds because of this phone alone. It will drive people to see what else this company can do with computers.
I don’t get it… Apple blogs annoyed reporting about an Apple product.
If you didn’t want to read about the iPhone, I don’t think going to a blog about Apple is the best choice.
I for one enjoy the iPhone news, since I can’t switch carriers and have to just look at pictures. (TMobile iPhone please!? :-P )
I just think this “enough of the iPhone!” stuff is ridiculous.
I spoke with some folks in their late 50′s at a party on Sat. They were asking me how to get photos of a DigiCam since they had no clue. Even they were talking about how awesome the iPhone appeared to be.
It’s not an issue of not wanting to hear about Apple products at all. For many of us, it’s an issue of wanting to hear something about Apple’s other products.
Yes, the iPhone is cool. (I got to play with one at work today, and it is a lovely piece of technology.) But so is my MBP. And your Mac Pro. Or your iPod. What happened to discussing and doing neat things with those? That’s going to increase interest in the company – which still primarily makes and sells computers, not whizzbang toys – more than anything else.
