“Recently, I read an interesting report regarding iPhone use. Market research firm iSuppli Corp. found that many people use iPhones in ways that differ markedly from other phones, especially in categories that until recently weren’t that important to most users,” Michael DeAgonia reports for Computerworld.
“We don’t use it as often for phone calls as other cell phone owners,” DeAgonia reports. “And while we text message about as often as those who own other phones, we’re much more likely to be checking e-mail, surfing the Web, watching videos or YouTube clips, or viewing photos.”
“What surprised me the most out of all of iSuppli’s statistics is that iPhone owners spent less than half the time actually making calls — 46.5% — compared to 71.7% of the time people use other phones for calls,” DeAgonia reports. “At first, I had a fleeting moment of defensiveness; I wondered if they were insinuating that the iPhone isn’t good for voice calls. I hadn’t noticed any problems with either my 8GB phone, or the newer 16GB model I replaced it with last fall.”
DeAgonia reports, “It turns out voice quality isn’t the issue. ‘This usage pattern shows Apple has succeeded in producing a true convergence product that consumers like to use for multiple purposes,’ said Greg Sheppard, chief development officer at iSuppli. ‘Apple has come as close as anyone to achieving a balanced convergence in mobile handset features and usage.'”
DeAgonia reports, “My curiosity piqued by the report’s findings, so I set out to document how much I use my iPhone.”

Study confirms 2 + 2 = 4
“Recently, I read an interesting report regarding the Sun. NASA’s Langley Reasearch Center found that the Sun differs in many ways from the Moon” Michael DeAgonia reports for Retardworld.
“The Sun actually produces light and heat, while the Moon only reflects it” DeAgonia reports. “And while we see both the Sun and the Moon in the same day, we are much more likely to be warmed by the Sun”.
“What surprised me out of NASA’s statistics is that human beings had less exposure to the Moon, and more time in the Sun — 46.5% compared to 71.7%” DeAgonia reports. “At first I had a fleeting moment of defensiveness; I wondered if they were insinuating the Moon isn’t as good as the Sun”.
DeAgonia reports, “It turns out that people tend to sleep at night, hence experience less time exposing themselves to the Moon”.
Sorry, late to the party, butt Buster, when she lets you play with it, be sure to try out using two fingers to make it wide, then small, then wide, then small, then wide, and then use a single finger to move it around a bit. Once she sees how much you enjoy this, I’m sure she will let you play with it more often.
Next lesson: the one finger vibrate mode…..
I can’t believe it took 28 minutes for someone to pick up on Buster’s comments about “playing with it”.
Come on folks, you’re being less than ‘snappy’ here!!
Uh oh, sorry for the extra ‘t’ in the ‘but’.
That made it sound nasty……
Buttbuster … yikes!
really. An extra ‘t’ in the butt sounds nasty? Who would have guessed…..
C1,
Lucky you, I have made a total of 15 days and 17 hours worth of calls.
And if you don’t count software and OS upgrades, I’m willing to bet large sums of money that I have downloaded much more data via it than on my MBP.
Only thing I wish for that noone else seems to be even care for is the ability to print boarding passes from it. That would be liberating!
Suddenly, the Thighmaster became a lot less interesting.
Where do I buy that glowing frisbee and what colors does it come in? I would also buy a glowing boomerang in any color so long as it frightens big dogs and small people.
Hmmm…why is my ass aching everytime I sit down…..
