You need two hands to use it

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

iphone requires many hands to operateIsn’t the idea of a mobile (cell) phone mobility?

When you have to use two hands and possibly the aid of a  stable surface to use a phone then it’s kind of lost all its mobility. Ever tried to use an iPhone one handed? Yeah, it’s impossible. It’s too large and clunky.

Two hands and a desk to rest the iPhone on, coupled with the fact that it needs to spend half its day plugged in and charging means the iPhone is more of an iMac. Without the large screen and all the features.

Edit: I’m going to have to wade into the comment controversy. Apple do in fact recommend using it with both hands at all times as shown by all their ads – here, here, here and this one from Apple’s lawyers who will probably be after me next.  In fact Apple pretty much think you should have all hands on your iPhone at any time. Oh and your nose as commentor Mick said.
