Yes. the Iphone is overated and not revolutiionary.

I will only add a bit myself. As stated above Time has not been a good magazine for years. Sounds like desperation on the part of Time/Warner and another grab at brainwashed Macheads to shower non-believers with more pathetic dribble about Macs, ipods, iphones and the "immortal" Steve Jobs. I imagine if Mr. Jobs passed gass through an iphone that would be an invention as well.

here are a few reasons not to get an iphone:

of the Year[/URL]. They did, however, list a massive machine designed to print books on-demand at about 100 pages a minute.

In the long run, Time passed up inventions that could save us energy, make us more energy, make us safer, make our commutes easier, protect us from cancer and other diseases, reduce our impact on our finite resources, or bring knowledge to the third world... to name the iPhone as Invention of the Year. This, after copping out last year and naming "You" as Person of the Year.

If I had a subscription, I'd cancel it, and demand money back to compensate for their defrauding me by pretending to be a serious news magazine.[/QUOTE]
