A candid letter to AT&T

June 1, 2010

To whom it may concern (sorry, it clearly does not concern anyone over there, but for giggles, let’s continue) I am the proud owner of an iPhone. I have actually owned three of them. Truth be told, this could be the single most interesting and useful pieces of technology I have ever owned bar none. I can literally do things on this phone that were previously unimaginable.
