Wow! The iPhone is abhorred by the blind, if you don't know. I'm working on an article about this as we speak. Most visually impaired mobilists use the world's top selling and most powerful smartphones, Nokia S60 models. Designed for disabled and visually impaired, with added text to speech engines and message readers, plus Nuance software, accessiblility is big for Symbian. No condom needed.

By the way, why would a blind user zoom in, genius? Lol! Do any iPhone users think before they speak or buy anything? My word... I still love yall, but man!

Blind people, and most sane people, choose a mobile computer based on performance and features. Only iFools choose fashion as a selling point in computing hardware first.

Evidently its important to iFans to look cute while doing as little as possible, as easily as possible, with as few buttons as possible. Most want more features, as sales figures show. 40% of smartphone users prefer better cameras, buttons, more features, full desktop web browsers with Flash, and multitasking, even if its thick like a tank, has buttons, or lacks a touchscreen.

How about some of you iPhone guys post pictures of what you're wearing today? I bet you aren't nearly as fly as this Durex iPhone cover, which I find ingenious.

Maybe they need protection from real smartphones. Don't want a multitasking, MMS, content creation skills, or DRM music infection...
