Two years ago, I posted a hilarious mockery at the release of the iPad, implying that it was a gigantic phone for people who, like me, have fat fingers. (You can read it here. If you don’t think it’s hilarious, too bad. I didn’t ask your opinion!)
In yet another stunning display of my prognostication abilities, the mockery has become reality. Samsung seems to have fallen head over fat fingers in love with the “bigger is better” approach. Last year they released the biggest phone on the market, the Note II, with a pocket straining 5.5 inch screen. (Follow the link to see a picture of this behemoth!)
Now, they’ve announced their even fatter Galaxy Mega. Seriously. They named it “Mega.” It’s a Mega phone. Not to be confused with a “megaphone,” or is it?
And not only is it stupidly named, it is stupidly big. (Yes, really!)
The Mega features a 6.3 inch screen. 6.3 inches!! If you could manage to squeeze this thing into your pocket, you’d better cinch up your belt or risk violating all the new saggy-pants laws! Or maybe you could get some farmer John overalls with the big pocket on the chest. I’m sure the Mega would fit just right.
If you have the prodigious digits to pull it off, you might be able to hold it up to your face while talking on this smartphone. (Yes, it is a smart phone. Not a tablet!) But, fair warning, I WILL point and laugh at you! And be honest, wouldn’t you laugh if you saw this?
