@vaporeon_ embedded SIM… horrible,

@aescling What was the point of making an iPod in evil rectangle form factor instead of MP3 player form factor?

@vaporeon_ idk. people were asking this question all the time when it was still being purroduced lol

@aescling @vaporeon_ it was for people who couldn't afford or weren't allowed one

@onfy @aescling But what is the point of an evil rectangle that can't make phone calls... Even if it's cheaper, that's missing the most important feature...

@vaporeon_ @aescling the ability to use apps that are only on iphone
in particular the games were huge back then

@vaporeon_ @onfy @aescling you could still play mobile games on it and browse the web on wifi. and play media, of course

@anime_reference @onfy @aescling I can do all those things on a real computer!

@vaporeon_ @anime_reference @aescling the iphone had stuff like uh, angry birds?

@vaporeon_ @onfy @aescling you can't hide a real computer on your math textbook and pretend to be doing classwork while you're actually watching anime

@anime_reference @vaporeon_ @aescling not for lack of trying
