YOU should work for less.

Go ahead. Do it…go on. You aren’t going to ? Even though an anonymous person online said to? What a rebel.

Apple is a great case study of how you can offer the same product, at a higher price, in an abundant market of close substitutes and still be successful enough for people to hate you.

They should all work for less, so that these items are affordable, after all, you can mass produce them. Is it my fault that they have expensive life styles, hell no!

“aaaaawwwwww …
Apple fanboi feeewings hurt ?

“Well good, you’ve answered you’re own question.

“They’re not Apple.
They manage to work without mandating an Itunes
subscription.
They’re not Apple.”

You see, this is exactly the kind of attitude I’m talking about. There are two types of fanboyism for Apple – ones that love and ones that are against. At this site it’s anti-Apple fanboyism.

Both kinds of fanboyism are blind because the one for Apple fails to look at the weaknesses and the other (anti-Apple) just cares about being derogatory towards them because of their financial success.

My problem, as stated before is the negative attitude, and it’s not balanced.

Just another crappy iPod with a phone built in so you can call Apple Service for repairs.
I had an iPod and it was crap, got my self a Creative Zen.
The Creatives Sound is tens times better and I never had to get it fixed yet.
I’ve had it for over 3 years now and no problem, not even with the battery.
My iPod screwed up 4 times in 2 months(junk)
The iPhone will be the same, Junk.

” AT&T requires a social? So what? Doesn’t just about any utility require that for credit report accountability? ”

I have AT & T.
They don’t have MY social.
Why do they need one for an Apple owner ?

” The iPhone has accessories and it costs money. So what? Isn’t that a good thing to offer more variety?

Oh wait, it’s because the iPhone is so expensive it should include more things. ”

Well good, you’ve answered you’re own question.

” Really? Some high tech phones are just as expensive, if not more. Do they include any of these things? ”

Yes.

” If so, at least offer a comparison about why other high-tech phones are better ”

No need.
So far the internet is still open, and those of us who still
want value for our buck ( and are not Apple sheep ) can
EASILY view comaparisons, using Google.

But the best reason other High-tech phones are better ?

They’re not Apple.
They manage to work without mandating an Itunes
subscription.
They’re not Apple.

…it’s just Jon bitchin’ about Apple. He hates Apple and needs to get a life and quit complaining about everything Apple does. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything Apple does, so what?

AT&T requires a social? So what? Doesn’t just about any utility require that for credit report accountability?

The iPhone has accessories and it costs money. So what? Isn’t that a good thing to offer more variety?

Oh wait, it’s because the iPhone is so expensive it should include more things. Really? Some high tech phones are just as expensive, if not more. Do they include any of these things? If so, at least offer a comparison about why other high-tech phones are better

Anyway, my point is made –> Quit whining about Apple and look at some of the good once in a while. That’s my two cents.

It does come with the dock and stereo headphones, but I think apple shouldn’t be so cheap but thrown in the damn bluetooth headset with the package. It costs enough already, apple is reportedly making a fortune off these things considering the costs of the parts.

Oh yeah, the soldered in battery and smelly AT&T lockin is enough to turn anyone away.

Lets not forget you’ll never see these damn things in Canada because hell would freeze over before Rogers/Fido offer an Unlimited EDGE plan. As of now it costs a small fortune for a mere pathetic 25 megabytes of data.

The part about the iPhone mugging is invalid. The guy tried to steal the reporter’s microphone not the reviewers iPhone. As can be seen in the video.
