If you thought Google Maps and iTunes was something to rave about on your new iPhone, then you haven’t seen anything yet.
Remember when E.T. said he wanted to “phone home,” well, it looks like Apple is going to make it possible.
Due out this September, the new iPhone, iMartian, will finally allow those who want to, to call Mars.
Now I know what some of you are thinking. Why would you need to call Mars? But I’m thinking exactly how the guys at Apple are: Why not!?
Jared Johannson of Louisiana picked up a trial version of the iMartian as part of a select group to test out the new iPhone and had this to say about it.
“I swear, I dialed “11” and a number and someone up there (pointing up) picked up,” said Johansson. “Yep, that’s right. It was mostly static and clicks and a few beeps in there, but I know I heard him breathin’ and speaking a few words of English in there. Well, maybe not English, but it was something.”
But while he may be happy with his new discovery, some other iPhone customers aren’t as excited about the out of this world reception.
“I don’t care if they can reach Pluto with the iMartian,” said AT&T user Mallory Swanson of Toluca Lake. “I want to know why I can’t get reception to my mother’s house across the street with my iPhone. “More bars” means nothing if the bars don’t work!”
When Apple was contacted about the iMartian’s new out of this world discovery, their office released this official statement.
“We know that the public will really love the new iPhone, the iMartian. Although not everyone will be able to pick up a transmission, at least they have the ability to try. But, if you buy our new, upgraded model, the iGhoul, for an extra $100 due out next fall, you’ll probably be able to reach the dead. But you won’t know until you buy one. You win some, you lose some.”
And one more thing: April Fools!
