iPhone is iFail

It's hilarious to me that in the world of apple the announcement of features that have existed in phones since 1996 is worthy of an international developer conference. And worse than that, it's also worthy of Apple fanboys flocking to the nearest fellow computer user to say something along the lines of:

"OMFG HAZ U SIEN NU IFONE!??"

Let's review the "new" features of the iPhone 3G-S one at a time.

Video - Never seen this on any phone. Ever. It's new. Completely. Buy Apple.
Voice Control - 1998 never happened. Shut the fuck up.
Cut and Paste - 1982 never happened either.
Voice memos - LOL!!
Compass - ...is special cause of magnetometer - k?

I have never been able to understand why Apple has continuously gone through the process of creating an absolutely evolutionary and new product, then proceeded to:

A) Screw up the release
B) Fail to update the product
C) Not create another one for ten years

Steve Jobs is an interesting guy - I love listening to him speak. And he's certainly creative and smart, as he's helmed three of the most evolutionary steps in computing - The Mouse, The Macintosh, and The iPhone. But seriously, the guy is epic fail at human resources, as all his employees are douchebags.
