This iPhone 3G thing has done nothing but pissed me off...I am not at all excited for this phone. Apple & AT&T are just fucking people over....I hope sales drop and they get fucked in the ass dry.

They know people will pay it no matter what. All I know is I'm never signing another contract with any phone, tv, ISP, any "service" provider ever again. it's bullshit nowadays. it used to be that if you signed a contract you got a FREE phone or a very good rate.

Exactly! Why should I sign a contract if I am not even going to get the reduced price? |

They screwed their existing customers by releasing a better version of the iphone at half the price, thereby devaluing it and killing the exclusive "fraternity" factor of owning one
Then they screw their new customers by selling them a phone that in actuality, costs $40 more than the previous model Stellar business model. I really should be head of their marketing department. Although I have no degree and little marketing experience, I feel qualified for the job since I have more than four functioning brain cells -------------------- |

all you assholes complaining about the price drop:
1. YOU FUCKING KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. 2. WE FUCKING TOLD YOU THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. 3. YOU. DIDN'T. LISTEN. That's what you get for having to be all hot shit with you're brand new piece of iBling iBarf. is it a douche move on apple's part? sure, but like I said, we all knew it would happen anyways, and they knew we knew it would happen. Furthermore, WELCOME TO CAPITALISM BITCHES. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

I'll tell you why Apple blows, has always blown, and will continue blowing forever.
Ever since the dawn of time, Apple has had half-assed products when compares to IBM, Microsoft, whoever. However, Steve Jobs has always been a good talker, and he's used this abillity to convince idiots that a couple whistles and bells on an otherwise inferior product makes it technologically superior. Case in point, the Motorola 60068 chips that the Macintoshes used for years. That chip was MUCH less effecient than the comparable Intel chips of the day, it used as much as five times as much memory to perform the same instructions as an intel chip....requiring Mac's to have a large amount of RAM memory, much more than the x86 counterparts ... keep in mind this was back in the 80's and 90's when RAM memory was the most expensive part of the computer. Then came the "PowerPC". Then went the "PowerPC". Another product from Apple that was supposed to revolutionize the world. Wow. It didn't. Go figure. Bottom line is, since Apple's inception they've claimed everything they've done revolutionized the world, modern computing, and made our lives better. Yet somehow magically, the only real use that their products got was by schools, and this was because Apple had programs set up to offer Apple computers at HEAVILY discounted prices to public schools. He also made sure that the only trump apple had over MS at the time was that all the best desktop publishing and photo editing software was out on the Macs at the time, so all the newspapers and magazines would use use Macs and give them rave reviews. It was an attempt by Steve Jobs to program the youth of america that Apple was the shit, and using the magazines was icing on the cake. It failed. Go figure. Any time Steve Jobs claims something is going to revolutionize the world, rest assured, it will fall completley on it's ass. Remember how Apple switched over to a NetBSD kernel with their own window manager on top of X a few years back because of how monumentally fucking HORRIBLE MacOS in all it's incantations were? Yeah, and don't even get me fucking started on all that "IT / Segway" bullshit a couple years ago. As soon as I started reading the hype about that and saw that Steve Jobs was an investor I IMMEDIATLEY knew it was going to be a bunch of hype that would ultimatley amount to NOTHING. Apple sucks, has always sucked, and will continue to suck.....FOREVER. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

I have to say their interface has always been better than windows, and their IPOD is much better than the zune. But then again, they have had at least 4 generation to work on the ipod.
