I’m blind. Can I use the iPhone?
Peter Wilson from the CanWest News Service decides to take all the complaints we have had about the iPhone and wrap it up in a nice little package. How convenient! Thanks Peter!
Some complaints like FairPlay and Cingular exclusivity, and cost are commonplace. But this article touches upon a new thing that I have not considered — how the touch screen interface will be a big fat PITA for those who are visually impaired.
I am glad I am not visually impaired but I guess that would be a problem for those who are Mavis Beacon mad men on the keys. Which brings up another question. I would assume that if you were visually impaired, you might not really be able to take full advantage of the video playback and the display of your photos.
I guess you can’t be all things to all people.

Aww yeah, why wait until June spending half your bank when you can roll with your own iPhone right now, paper style. “Brilliance” is the only word I can muster as the tears roll down my face at the gorgeous sight of my very own paper phone. You can print, cut, and fold too courtesy of Sneakmove.
They even have an editable illustrator file so you can pimp zee iPhone. That’s how we roll!

more...115mm? How many inches is that?

For those who were not fortunate enough to attend Macworld and see the iPhone for themselves, here’s a handy graphic to put the size in perspective. Although commonplace in specs, I do not have a full understanding of what 115mm looks like in length for instance. It’s sort of a reverse Pulp Fiction line, “We don’t have the metric system. I don’t know what the **** a millimeter is.”
By comparing the size to the MotoSLVR, the 30GB iPod and the iPod Nano, you can more accurately visualize the iPhone in your hand. What I would really like though, is how it stacks up to the Motorola Q, Treo 750, and Blackberry Pearl.
I found this graphic on the iPhone’s wikipedia page, but as far as I can tell, this graphic was created by a one Jason Geiger.
