Who the fuck wants an iPhone? Here's a list of stuff it DOESN'T HAVE.
1. Songs as Ringtones 2. Games 3. Any flash support 4. Instant Messaging 5. Picture messages (MMS) 6. Video recording 7. Voice recognition or voice dialing 8. Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Streaming (A2DP) 9. One-size-fits-all headset jack (May have to buy an adapter for certain headphones) 10. 3G (EV-DO/HSDPA) 11. GPS 12. A real keyboard 13. Removable battery 14. Expandable Storage 15. Direct iTunes Music Store Access (Over Wi-Fi or EDGE) http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/apple/what-the-...have-272571.php Apple and the iPhone release is analogous to Sony and the PS3. Sony announced that they could release a total piece of shit that doesn't even play games, call it a PS3, and still sell millions because of fanbois. Apple is releasing a steaming pile of shit and all the fanbois are going crazy over it. Same scenario, different company/product. This post has been edited by pebkac: Oct 5 2007, 09:08 PM |

I still don't understand why anyone would buy a macbook for the low price of 1600$ when you can get a laptop with similar hardware for 700$ and put linux on it and have way more eye candy and the same amount of crashing. And could you believe that news agencies were actually covering the release of a phone? |

And could you believe that news agencies were actually covering the release of a phone? What are you basing your # of crashes research on? My MacBook Pro has crashed one time since I bought it a year ago and I hardly turn it off. And, the reason it crashed was because I installed something that expressly said "don't install on a MBP" but since I am hard headed I did it anyway. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
