Women with long nails speakout against iPhone

SPEED
By SPEED

Most people either love or hate the iPhone's touch screen, and based on a report on the LA Times, women with long fingernails are among the haters. Why? Well, since the iPhone's touchscreen only responds to electrical charges emitted by your bare fingertips, women with long nails are left out in the cold. A woman interviewed for the article went so far as to suggest Apple was being misogynistic because it did not include a stylus for women and didn't consider womens' fingers and nails when designing the phone.

Honestly, though, this same argument has come up against keyboards, touch screen monitors, and anything else that involves the use of your fingers, so should every gadget maker change the design of its products to accommodate users with long nails, or should people with long nails learn to work around this problem like they have in the past? I'd love to hear what Apple has to say about all this, but I doubt they'll ever address this particular design flaw.

Personally, I'd rather have them focus on the real issues of the iPhone, like the lack of a video camera, extra storage, and better camera, but that's just me. Besides, there are styli out there that work with the iPhone just fine and are pretty affordable.

This all reminded me of an iPhone reviewer who had a hard time using the iPhone due to her long nails, and in her frustration she said, "I guess people who use Apple products are too cool for fingernails." But are we? What do you think?

None of them got selected, I was wondering, WHY? The lack of proper English, better tone stomach muscles, the red lobster appearance or just plain drunkenness, while playing boob slapping....

The good news, THE GIRL FROM NEWMAN, GEORGIA, WON THE COMPETITION and notthe one's from Texas or Florida!!

Two gorgeous ladies from the State of Georgia are among the top ten. One from Downtown Atlanta( My favorite) and the other one from some Chicky town from Georgia. Both are extremely HOTTTTTTTTTTT!

AND NO I-PHONE YET and long nails.

I'm losing my mind with those girls....

This I-phone issue is probably affecting a small minority of disgruntled females. We should not considered a sexist assault, but a technology inconvenience of course too "the handicap of long nails".

I'm throwing the towel in for this one, I'm currently watching "The Best Damn Hooters Show," definitely, I did learn something about a woman's swim suit contest. They use some kind of spray adhesive for those rear Butt bikinis, from slipping into the cracks.

Sorry they are not carrying I-phones neither and there is no Apple lady in the competition.

Got to love Miss Downtown Atlanta....hotttttttttt!

Those legs and the rest of those hot bodies.....

Hey speed bro,

How r u?

Well Iphone might have a very limited good features, but that doesnt mean they should leave out the features that one would use often, they should have put a few more buttons to it, a 3 or 5 mp camera with flash... a few things here and there would make it a good phone.

You know, that you are screwed, when ur phone rings, while you sneak into your own house like a thief and your wife is asleep at 3 am in the morning... Perhaps that would be the last time you enter your own house lol.

I hate Iphones and I hate long nails, long nails carry dirt and germs in it and Iphones were way below my expectations.
