It’s July (just in case you hadn’t noticed), and time for the industry to clear off for two months. That means it’s all very quiet out there in the world of mobile at the moment. Very quiet indeed. The only real thing happening is the iPhone PR steam roller is in it’s usual frenzy – Google News reports about 18,346 in the past 24 hours on Apple’s ‘wonder device’.
In comparison, SMS comes up with 3,797 mentions. Most of it is either dull as dishwater, or we’ve already talked about it – so there’s not a lot to link to at the moment.
Anyway, that aside. Can I have a show of hands (or a click of the mouse and a few keystrokes to leave a comment) on a proposal to not post any more pointless stories about the iPhone. Obviously if something exciting happens, like we get one to play with (look, there’s a flying pig!), it might just justify a story.
What do you think? Leave a comment, or drop me a mail to alex@smstextnews.com
I’m so sick of the iPhone. It is getting to be a pandemic and needs to be stopped. NO MORE IPHONE CHAT.
I’m just going to go and buy some of those giant hand things that you used to see on old WWF matches so I can put them on my hands and feet and wave them in the air in agreement…
BRB.

Alex, posted a reply to the O2 iPhone story with that very suggestion. A permanent ban would be ok but happy with a short hiatus. I’m sure after the hype dies down there may indeed be something worth writing about on the iPhone. But for now it has just become too tedious.
This is not the second coming of Jesus, it’s just a bloody mobile phone!

Jim, but this is a mobile phone blog! it’s smstextnews.com not jesuslivesnews.com
Perhaps less iPhone news regurgitation and more iPhone scoops!
yawn
this is indeed a blog to which news of the iphone belongs…so lets just keep bringing the iPhone news if there is any – which there clearly aint, instead of this “man who saw a dog owned by a woman who saw a photo of a man holding an iphone on the news” crap.
yawn
if Jobs wants us to do his PR for him then tell him to get his cheque book out.
yawn
isn’t it interesting (or maybe not at all but I’m bored) that all us mobile geeks are bored of a new handset. So imagine how even more bored real people in the street must be of this darned phone.
yawn…eyes droop…..snooooooooooooooooooooooore
Yes i know it’s a mobile news site, but the level of pr hype around the ayephone is truly becomimg tedious
