Watch out! Here comes the iPhone

How the Iphone Stacks Up:

DSCN1196The iPhone definitely is the powerhouse of the 3 systems, coming in with the fastest processor at 620mhz, and the most amount of RAM at around 128. It also is the lightest weighing in at only 133 grams. However the PSP has the iPhone beat at the screen size, edging the iPhone's 3.5 inch screen by .8 inches. Although screen size is not the only deciding factor in displays, but resolution as well, that is where the iPhone beats the PSP on the horizontal resolution by 48 pixels horizontal. Wireless access is another winner for the iPhone due to the fact that it has GSM/EDGE and wi-fi, giving the user more options to connect online.  Finally, the iPhone is more than just a gaming platform as it also serves as a Smartphone.

Ringtones cost more than hookers in GTA IV

Don't you find it funny that in GTAIV Ringtones are $100 while full service from a hooker is only 70 bucks? Oh noes, we are teaching our kids that ringtones will cost an arm and a leg while hookers are a bargain!

 

What do you think? Are hookers undercutting the music industry?
