Re: This was such a surprise!

I got SOOOO annoyed the other day. A couple of my coworkers and I went out to lunch, and one of them has the Iphone (actually, 90 percent of my freaking department has an iphone, but it happened to be that 2 of the other people we were with didnt). Anyway, I took some pics with my Omnia, and she took some pics with her Iphone, of the girl who's birthday it was. I looked at her pics on the Iphone, and they came out great, while mine came out ok, and I said "Wow, this takes pretty good pics, they came out better than mine, and this is only a 3 megapixel and mine is a 5 megapixel."

Then this lady that was with us said "Of course, look at the phone she has. That phone is like, top of the line. Nothing compares to it." She is an older lady, so I kind of just looked at her like whatever, I didnt even bother saying, dude, I have a smartphone, it can do almost everything hers can and then some. But it just bothers me so much how there is this misconception out there that the Iphone is some super powerhouse that can do things other phones cant, and everything better.

And by the way, I realized later why her pics came out better. She was sitting next to the birthday girl, with the window and sun to HER back. So the light was shining right on the girl in the picture. I was sitting in front of her, with the window and sun behine the bday girl's back, so the sun was shining directly towards me, making the lighting bad.
