Someday you too will own an iPhone, it's just a question of when... so posting info about the iPhone is VERY important to everyone that owns a Cell Phone of any type. Apple will lovingly control this entire space within 10 years, so get used to high quality phones from Apple. The iPhone is just the first in a long series of great internet communicators. (see iPod history) you can learn more here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html - ps: 1 group penalty for setting your follow up incorrectly. please learn how USENET works... thanks!

Hmmm... that's what you said last year when iPhone I was released. Where's the withering? > plus at&t owns the new 700Mhz spectrum starting next year, say > goodbye to Verizon, Sprint, etc. Verizon bought as much, if not more, 700MHz spectrum than AT&T.

Really?

They worship at the feet of Steve Jobs, and wait for any word from their 'prophet'. Apple is caught in a viscous cycle. They have tremendously high software costs, so the put on a slick show for the hardware. Hardware should be becoming a 'commodity. Cheap and readily available upon which anyone can develop. Apple is still heading down the road called Proprietary. Soon Symbian and Android will be open platforms on which all can develop. Apple products are for people with deep pockets who wish to throw tribute at the feet of Steve Jobs.... I was an Apple follower when the APPLE II came out. Then I saw quite rapidly Jobs' little game. Keep changing the platform and the rules of the game to ensure only he can sell the hardware. Apple III was sort of compatible, but after that all of the other upgrades were an architecture change. In addition, APPLE plays the 'gotcha' game across their platforms with 'nickel/dime' fees for certain updates, when other manufacturers just push them out. >Apple is caught in a viscous cycle.

I hear you, and I've always born resentment against Apple for the same reason. But now there's a catch. Symbian, et al are one thing, but in terms of dominant platforms, look at the alternative. I need to purchase a new computer soon. Vista? Please. A friend of mine is hell bent on going Linux all the way from here on, citing the same concerns you express. But I had to wish him luck on spending two days tracking down a driver so that he can print a page of text. Regarding compatibility, the Intel-based Macs (and tellingly, Intel recently announced that it would not - not ever - introduce Vista into their workplace) can run Windows OS's faster than the average PC. With the addition of VMWare Fusion one can run any Windows application seamlessly within Mac OSX 10.5. Your proprietary argument holds, considering that the converse isn't true - you can't run OSX on a Windows box. But all things considered, it's hard to care. I'm struggling with this issue because I resent Apple for the same reasons you describe. But my home office has an iMac and a PC (someone else primarily uses the Mac), and I've had a chance to work on the iMac recently. The truth of the matter is that by getting certain concerns out of the way, the Mac OS spotlights productivity very effectively. DGI |
