[Electronics-talk] Please help - Take our survey on iPhoneApplications

Thu Jan 8 02:12:32 UTC 2009

Hi,

Well, I looked at the survey and found it didn't make much sense. 
What these people really need to know is how many of us do not have 
this phone precisely because it is inaccessible. I found the wording 
of the survey itself rather difficult too. They certainly should have 
had a question about owning such a phone and then a plce to comment 
if one does not own one. I'm afraid they are going to get a highly 
distorted picture at best.
