iPhone is like Guess Jeans from the 1980s (blogs.sun.com)
![]()
The iPhone in many ways reminds me of the Guess brand of jeans of the late 1980s: all flash, no substance. Back in those days (in the 1980s), I wore Levi's jeans because they did their job which was to (oddly enough) be a pair of durable blue jeans, fit well, and cost a fair price. But, there was another brand of jeans at the time called Guess jeans, about twice the price of Levi's and didn't last as long and weren't as comfortable. Well, people loooooved Guess jeans, wanted to be seen wearing Guess jeans, wore them with the label proudly displayed, and didn't really care that they weren't a good pair of jeans.
My college roommate called up his parents and whined at them to buy him new pairs of Guess jeans, because everybody wore them. "But, dad, I need to have Guess jeans! You don't get it! All the popular people wear them!"

Dr. Mac: iPhone not really a good phone
Here's a quote:
That all changed Saturday afternoon when my 1-day old iPhone 3G had a catastrophic failure and froze at the Apple startup screen. I tried every trick in the book to no avail before swallowing my pride and heading to my local Apple Store at The Domain in Austin, TX.And, see: BusinessWeek: iPhone not really a good phone
Here's another quote:
Complaints over dropped calls and choppy Web connections on Apple's iPhone 3G have sparked a wave of debate in the blogosphere over the root cause of the problems. Two well-placed sources tell BusinessWeek.com the glitches are related to a chip inside Apple's music-playing cell phone.So, the iPhone doesn't have Java ME technology, but I've come to realize from the latest reports that is only one of the many major faults of the iPhone. It's really a mobile phone for the vapid and the vain who want to be seen with a designer label, not have a phone that works. Just like Guess jeans in the 1980s. "Yeah, it can't play any of the cool Java ME games nor run any of the important enterprise Java ME apps, no it's not reliable enough to trust having as your mobile phone when your wife's pregnant, yes it drops a lot of calls much of the time, and yes it crashes and hangs a lot.""But, it's an iPhone! Everybody's got one! I look soooo coooool because I have one."
Gag me with a spoon (popular quote from the 1980s). I'll just keep wearing my Levi's jeans and use my Java ME cell phone (which works, by the way). I'll leave the iPhone for the tragically hip and the hopelessly carrier-signal-less people of the world. :-)

It's time to come together to learn, share and network. And it's time to celebrate the size, power, and innovation of the East Coast web industry.
New Article: Creating a Custom Scrollable Table With JavaFX Technology (blogs.sun.com)
James L. Weaver has been posting a special series of articles in his JavaFXpert.com blog. In this series, he is collaborating with graphics designer Mark Dingman of Malden Labs on an imaginary application called Sound Beans. The objectives of building this application are to demonstrate how to create custom UI controls in JavaFX and to provide a case study in how a graphics designer and an application developer can work together effectively in developing JavaFX applications.
Each article contains the source code as well as a Java Web Start so that you can run the live application. Read the series. See the JavaFX index for additional news related to this technology.
Java Champion and JavaFX expert James Weaver teaches you how to create custom user interface controls.
