Iphone Is Like Portland

a: Iphone ~
b: Portland

What: "This electronic experience caused me to reflect on my recent post about why people move away from Phoenix to places like Seattle, Portland and San Francisco. I think the reason people move from Phoenix to these cities is because, like an iPhone, they just work. In Portland you just jump on the streetcar to get wherever you want to go in the central city."

iPhone is like a Leica

a: iphone ~
b: a Leica

What: "I own a few Leicas and have yearned for the Leica M9. It is going to be hard for me to believe that an iPhone from 2010 will still operating 10,20,40, 50 or more years like a Leica." The author thinks,not. But, the comparison is on the form of each product and not the longevity.

The Iphone Is Like Omakase

a: The iphone ~
b: omakase

What: "The iPhone is like omakase, the style of sushi where the chef chooses what you're going to eat, and might even tell you how to eat it-no wasabi allowed on this, no soy sauce allowed on that. Definitely no California rolls."

The Iphone Is Like Internet Explorer 6

a: The iphone ~
b: Internet Explorer 6

What: "And so history repeats itself. The iPhone is a proprietary platform whose future is not yet clear. It could set a de facto standard for future mobile platforms. Maybe. I think it more likely that Android and Windows Phone 7 will go their own way. And corporates will have bought into applications for a platform that will go away before the business requirement does."

The Iphone Is Like The Bible

a: The iphone ~
b: the Bible

What: "From a visual standpoint, the iPhone is gorgeous. Curves in all the right places, a beautiful UI, and an OS that is second-to-none. The Bible, of course, is primarily a work of art. Did you know that? When comparing poetry to prose, most of the Bible is a poem! How wonderful. The literary rhythm of Scripture."

The Iphone Is Like A Specialized Sports Car

a: The iphone ~
b: a specialized sports car

What: "The iPhone is like a specialized sports car. Porsche, Aston Martin, whatever. It's designed to do a few things well. Accelerate, turn, be attractive, etc. It focuses primarily on being aesthetically pleasing in terms of look and feel while doing those things."
