> while standing on the sidewalk somewhere

Do you not have a home? ;-)

I think there's a big geographical problem that's overlooked. These things are all designed in California where the weather is sunny year-round.

But in the rest of the world, most of the time, it's cold. You will not stand a long time "on the sidewalk" because you'll freeze. Maybe you're wearing gloves, which make using a smartphone impossible.



This just made me sad. You only go outside when the weather is sunny? As the saying goes, there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.

Did I say that? I won't stand for a long time at a street corner typing on my phone without gloves, in bad weather.


I live in Michigan. I use my iPhone outside all the time. Where the hell do you live that has worse weather than Michigan?


Apparently Paris.
