Stephen Colbert Gives Apple iPhone Rare "Double Wag of the Finger"

...Until he gets one shipped for free from Steve Jobs, of course.
Within 36 hours of Apple's MacWorld Expo presentation of the new soon-to-be-released iPhone, Cisco Systems slapped Apple with a copyright infringement lawsuit over the naming of the new product.
But did Cisco lose their rights last year?
Dealing with Cisco may be easy compared with Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report.
Every week, Colbert offers his top "Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger" observations on the do-gooders and not-so-do-gooders.
Did the iPhone earn a tip of the hat? No...both Apple and the iPhone earn the rare (and feared) double-finger-wag from a critical Colbert. Dropping "computer" from your name, he lectures, does not make you cool (hello now, Apple, Inc.). And integrating too many features into a single, easy-to-use platform takes away from the basic rule of life: Whoever dies with the most toys wins.
"The legends are true, it exists...the much feared double-wag" of his finger. The Apple iPhone left Colbert "flaccid with rage." Click here for the video or stream it below.
...Now, those of you "sporting wood" instead over the iPhone who don't want to wait until June can at least spruce up your Treo with iPhony, which converts the Palm OS "look" to the iPhone look...
