magic word : "hazzah"

I'm reading about Time magazine's Invention of the Year on the 3.5 inch screen of Time magazine's Invention of the Year.

Can't say I disagree with the choice.

Wonder what the execs at Verizon are thinking now?

Nicely said, R2!

We've got some great phones coming... uh... next year. With more features. And more buttons!

Looks like Steve Jobs might be the lock for Time Man of the year now. Unless Al Gore wins that one too

Oscar, Emmy, and Nobel Prize in one year. Hard to beat but I think Steve can do it

Wait, Microsoft's Surface really should have gotten it. I mean, it's a table......and you can......get maps on it.........and it's a table!

Not to worry. Time will have a special edition out shortly: Dunces of the Year.

Gore never won an Oscar, director Davis Guggenheim did.

@ Eric

I agree! MS Surface is not only a big-ass table, it's a big-ass table with a computer and (i believe) some projectors in it.

If anything deserves this accolade, it's the Surface. Even the name sounds kinda cool...the Surface.

Hey the iphone is the bestest

Agree with the choice, love it completely, but damn AT&T;please fix your weak signal. Those commercials about *not* having dropped calls are only funny if you're not the network that drops every other call.

I totally agree - Gore should have been Man Of The Year long ago, when he invented the internet.

Man, I wish I was the chair supplier to Microsoft - I'd have my delivery guys just sit in a truck outside Monkey Boy's office and roll 'em in and try to salvage whatever hit the pavement outside.

I forgot about Surface. There....I forgot about it again.

surface wasn't that canceled by NBC a few seasons back LOL

Those commercials about *not* having dropped calls are only funny if you're not the network that drops every other call.

AT&T;'s signal is great in SD. Hasn't dropped a call yet. Just lucky I guess.

NBC will be cancelled soon.

Canceled, Cancelled? I'm English.

I was "Person of the Year" last year.....

come on, Verizon has some cool stuff coming out. Look at the Juke. Who doesn't want a music phone you have to use two hands to open (the pivot hinge only opens in one direction, sorry lefties, and is positioned under the "click wheel", so you have to reorient the phone in your hand in order to open it)...and what about the Venus?? A phone named after a planet, how cool can you get...

Samsung almost got the Juke right, they only missed it by one letter. That was another thing that made it soooooo easy to drop Verizon when the iphone came out, almost all of their phones are awful. It's pathetic the way these cell phone manufacturers have been churning out miserable phone after miserable phone for so many years. I mean what the hell is the Juke supposed to be? I don't understand why they seem to think every phone needs to flip open or slide out a keyboard. I realize that all of the corporate dipshits don't get it, but why can't they hire someone who does? Understand that at THIS point, as I bought some Apple stock a while back, I hope it stays that way. I hope the others carry on in their own special, magical worlds, where the sky is green and the grass is blue. Where Motorola, Nokia and all the others feed the media machine with stories about the "iPhone killer" they have coming down the pipe, meanwhile trying to convince the world that the LG Chocolate is THE phone to have. As they continue to produce garbage, the Apple footprint will only continue to grow.

With respect to playing music and switching nicely to an incoming call and picking up the music back from where it left of, I think Sony Ericsson walkman series phones are nicely made. They do the same with radio as well.

Other than that, there are a good number of gripes about the phone. The phone has weird headphone connection!!

A lesson for Microsoft:

Invention of the year = Not of inane thievery.

In other news, Microsoft wins "Me Too" of the decade award!

It was a close race between the iPhone and the Zune!

I personally think the invention of the year was the 'anti-social'

Microsoft has reason to be upset. How can iPhone beat Surface for invention of the year?

Think about it. Surface outweighs iPhone at least 100 x's

Hey. I invented the iPhone too!
