The iphone vs the Prada Phone
As I sit here writing this, the iphone has been on sale for all of 1 hour and 22 minutes. And while I would give both my testicles and my right kidney to own one, I thought we'd take a look at the only other phone clipping its heels behind it...
The Prada Phone was released to the public in March (admittedly not to the same fan fare that surrounded the iphone) but then often the coolest things don't immediately get noticed by the establishment.
The reason the Prada phone is such a competitor to the iphone is that it too has a touch sensitive screen (it is actually the first phone to have one) and most of the features the iphone has (2mb camera, mp3, wifi, stylish design). But what really gives sets the Prada phone apart is simply the fact that it's a Prada phone. Because at the end of the day 'cool' always wins. And the Prada phone is so danm hot that if it was a model, Steve Bing would have impregnated it by now.
And while the iphone isn't about to suddenly become (gasp) uncool, one look at the people lining up outside the Apple store in NYC yesterday is enough to make you wonder, for at least a moment, which one you'd rather be associated with...
