"Apple said it does not pay for product placement and would not discuss how its products make their way into television and films."
"It's not an accident," Bajarin said. "This is something Apple works at. Apple has the longest history of doing this."

who the heck said apple leads everyone else follows????
better do some more research.
apple's technology is always behind. it's just their design that's good and arguably the best.
looks count for a lot though. hence why they are successful.
apple = image
period.

I showed my wife the iphone (she's a bit of a technophobe). As soon as she saw that it used the same GUI as our macbook she got it. She has a basic nokia which drives her mad.
This she understands. So it's not just aboout image (though that counts for a lot). It's about everything modern phones (and pcs) are not - user friendly.

users make machines shitty not the os. i hate the conversation, but i can prob do more productivity related tasks with my psp than the avg macbook owner
windows user for life, never had a virus, never seen a blue screen of death
learn to use your electronics, maybe read the manual, but get off the os battle bullshit

(Jan 9 07, 14:44)I tend to agree with this - as a previous Apple user I'm now fully Windows/PC and rarely if ever have any problems and I'm getting proficient enough to hack around with my hardware.
I get the impression that Apple/Macs are generally for people who don't like getting their hands dirty under the hood - and their girlfriends:)Take Xbox Media centre for example, it runs as a custom dashboard on a modified Xbox and will handle pretty much any media file out there.

Wired to a home network it converts a regular Xbox to a home media hub pretty much like Apple TV, it streams 10,000+ Shoutcast radio streams, Apple movie trailers, Weather Channel weather reports as well as playing any media on PCs on the same network as well as standard DVDs, data CDs and Audio CDs.
An Xbox will now set you back about £49.99 in the UK and you can get it modded for about £30 on any high street (if you don't know someone who can do it gratis) and can be converted to NTSC to output a High-Def video signal.
Oh and it plays Xbox games.
Does the Iphone even have an FM radio yet?

(Jan 9 07, 14:44)Sorry but thats rather absurd.
Sure, if you give the same OS/interface/eggbeater to 2 different people, there is a difference in the way they use them.
Give them different devices, and the functions, design, mechanics, whatever can obviously be compared and one deemed worse than another.

point being:
the user fucks it over, machines do not break themselves
you know that.

as for the iphone...
Have to keep looking at it to adjust anything, then put it back to my ear.
Could it be TOO thin and light? Let me see Andre the giant (RIP) handle that. Or let me see it dropped on the floor.
In regards to the ipod. the ipod is great cause it essentially takes one type fo function – music player – and does it well. The iPhone looks to fail the classic failure of devices that try and do too much.
Do one thing, do it well...

(Jan 10 07, 01:37)in a fully functioning environment, where both os' are running normally, your statement becomes subjective to the user

I can't believe there will only be 4GB & 8GB versions available.
I suppose that means people will still be buying the iPod as well as the phone.
Corporate whores! I do love them.
