Profound and prosaic uses for the iPhone | Brief letters
I was interested to read that the chair of the Turner prize judges has declared winner Charlotte Prodger's work the "most profound use of a device as prosaic as the iPhone camera that we've seen in art to date" (Video clips shot using an iPhone win Turner prize, 5 December). I am finding my iPhone very useful for holding down the wrapping paper on the Christmas presents, when I need both hands to wrangle the sticky tape into submission. Does this use count as profound or prosaic?

" I thought of an answer to Sian Cain's question "Bad sex: why do only famous white men get to write about it?'' (Opinion, 5 December). In my experience, and that of many of my women friends, few men have any notion of what good sex for a woman might mean. This might affect male literary endeavour. Moreover, vis-a-vis your Bias in Britain series, presumably fewer non-white male authors are getting published. Voila!
