I first saw this article on twitter, courtesy of @oliyoung retweeting an original tweet by Dan Hon (@hondanhon). Basically, it’s an article written by The Telegraph in the UK, simply titled “10 reasons not to buy Apple’s new iPhone 4G”.

It is the biggest crock of shit I have ever read, pardon the language.

You can view the full article here, but here’s a couple of samples for you:

2) It’s anti-technology: When the iPhone launched it was cutting edge – now as other manufacturers announce, for instance, that you can use their phones as shareable wifi hot spots, Apple says no. Not because of some spurious “user experience” argument, but because of economics. When will they learn that it’s customers – supply and demand – that should dictate feature availability?

3) No Flash: The iPhone, the phone that promised to put the web into everybody’s pockets, can’t even show you most of it, because it can’t handle Flash graphics. Google Android can, in the latest version (OS 2.2), and it’s going to be available free on a lot of budget tariffs.

4) No multitasking: Tried instant messaging on an iPhone? Oh yes, you have to open the app to see if you’ve got a message. Genius. If Apple announces multitasking next it will be an improvement – but there’ll be no apology for the way it’s treated customers in the past, and no guarantee it won’t behave similarly shoddily in the future.

I could argue every point, especially the issue about Flash, but Steve Jobs did brilliantly answering the critics via the apple website. Instead of wasting my time (and yours) I will instead direct you to a brilliant parody of The Telegraph’s article, written by Dan Hon (mentioned earlier).
