Woz Unimpressed By iPhone

Woz isn’t that impressed by the iPhone, it is reported by CNET, where the Apple co-founder expressed the view that it should have had 3G capability.

Steve Wozniak apparently took issue with his co-founder of Apple and current CEO, Steve Jobs. Jobs had said putting in 3G was a battery issue. Woz, reports CNET, reckons: "I get as much life on my 3G phones as I get on my non-3G phones. I don't think it's just a battery issue.”

Woz became employee No.1 at Apple when the company grew so big that staff needed badges. In his book, wittily titled ‘I Woz’ he says he’s still a staff member.

Woz reflected the views of millions when he said that the smartphones are tough to use. “I feel like a slave and less important than the technology," he said.

In a final dig at the iPhone Woz said: "For voice, I still want another phone."
