The iPhone generation

Got a sweet tech toy but no degree? No worries! According to a study by consumer electronics e-tailer, Retrevo, 75% of iPhone users don't care!

Retrevo polled a number of iPhone users to get a feel for who these people are. The results are pretty shocking (not to mention shallow). Check this out!

Retrevo asked, "What makes a person most attractive to you?" iPhone owners prefered cool gadgets over a college degree three to one.

Really? Listen up kids... save yourself THOUSANDS of dollars on tuition, books, etc. and just grab yourself an iPhone. Now leverage those relationships to haggle your way into a job. Think of the time and money you'll save!

One in three iPhone owners has texted or emailed their significant other to break up.

I know some people are afraid of confrontation, but that's just plain cowardly! Makes me wonder if it would be appropriate to respond to a breakup text with a crying emoticon :'(

One in three iPhone owners say that, if their partner had out-of-date gadgets, it would be a turnoff.

Not getting enough action from your significant other? Better get that Windows 7 upgrade, stat! Coincidentally, I was actually mocked just this afternoon (jokingly, I hope!) for working in marketing and using a PC instead of a Mac. At least now I know I can skip the gym in favour of a new gadget.

One in five iPhone owners admits to frequently watching “adult material” on their iPhones. (Twice as many as BlackBerry owners).

I'm actually surprised only one in five admitted to this. And what's up with those snobby Blackberry users... they're too good for porn on the go?!

One in four iPhone users has broken up with their partner because that person spent too much time on their mobile device.

Sadly, I can totally understand this. Mainly because every time I get my hands on an iPhone or iPod Touch, I get drawn into the cute little apps and ignore the world around me. This is precisely why I've stuck with my outdated "click-wheel" iPod. Based on the previous stats, this also makes me a turn-off to other iPhone users!

Compared with other cell phone users, iPhone owners are more likely to see themselves as media buffs, extroverts, and intellectuals.

The key words here are that they "see themselves". I know some pretty stupid people with iPhones.

I'm not entirely sure if the "study" is serious or a joke. The scary part is, I can totally believe that their findings are accurate. Either way, I suggest you entertain yourself by reading the blog entry.
