#183 Post at 17-7-2010 22:32  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Amazing the international demand for the phone continues to be huge. Heard there were lines out the door also for the new droid.  Must say apple giving out bumpers is at least a good gesture.

#184 Post at 18-7-2010 01:03  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Apple salvaged some of the reputation by offering the free cases, and full refund if the customer wants it. Looks like they haven't lost their PR touch, even after their initial misstep, by stating it was simply a software glitch and hot hardware issue. They had to face the music after the CR statement, as lots of people do respect the CR analysis of products.

#187 Post at 18-7-2010 01:57  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Yeah of course Jobs would get defensive. Much easier to point out the potential faults of others instead of shutting it and taking the high road. FWIW, if I was in his position, I'd probably try to deflect some of this negative press too.

#188 Post at 18-7-2010 04:39  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Not a bad outcome for Apple, considering the bumpers cost about $1 to manufacture.  Hope they learn something from this experience.

#190 Post at 19-7-2010 18:04  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L From the article: "We're not feeling right now that we have a giant problem we need to fix," Jobs said. "This has been blown so out of proportion that it's incredible." I LOVE how pissed Jobs is about all this negative press he's getting. After all, it's all the hyped up press that sells iPhones and iPads in the first place. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

So know he has the other companies on the defensive

Wouldn't it be interesting if there was a revolt worldwide and everyone all stopped buying Apple products?

#193 Post at 19-7-2010 22:37  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #192 Tripp's post Well most people like the underdog, and the rebel/carefree attitude that symbolized Apple. However, now the underdog story is gone, as they have a dominate position in many areas. They are starting to get a bit of backlash from the usual technogeeks. The appeal to the masses now, but just like MS a couple of decades ago, they may be viewed as the evil empire sooner or later.

My only comment on innovation, is that Apple doesn't so much innovate as in "inventing" something new. Rather, they are great at taking an idea and improving on it, be it style or substance related and then marketing the heck out of it, such that you must have this product. Now I'm not hating on Apple, I think they are great story, and in fact outside of probably the iPhone and iPad I've always had one of their products. But as with any company that gets too big for their britches, they need some humility. Ideally some startup can put some fear back into them and keep them on their toes, though it's harder these days as the big companies simply buy up the promising startups.

The Dell Ipad / phone is out already in Europe.  It's a small tablet will a phone. In the USA it will retail for $500 USD.  If you get a 2 yr data plan, it's free.  It looks like good a deal since I need  phone service anyway. Then get the cheapest data plan offered which I believe is 5 USD a month.  So a 2 yr plan at 5 USD X 24 = 120 USD.   Main Specs: A 5-inch 800x480 capacitive multitouch display, 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU, 5-megapixel front-facing camera, Wi-Fi/3G/Bluetooth, 2GB of storage expandable via SD cards. Android 2.1 and will be upgradeable to Android 2.2--which means Flash 10.1 support ------------------------------------------------------ You might also consider the new 4 G phone by Sprint called EVO 4G. http://techland.com/2010/06/03/d ... ed-at-500-unlocked/ http://techland.com/2010/05/25/d ... une-us-late-summer/ [ Last edited by  Weelock at 20-7-2010 00:40 ] Recent Ratings flinger   20-7-2010 11:29   Acceptance   +1   Thanks for the Dell info

But since I like my phones subsidized I'll wait a little while to see what transpires with the iPhone and evaluate other ones as well before signing on for another term.

#198 Post at 20-7-2010 20:41  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Another wired thing on the iPhone is that if you leave it put in the hot sun for too long it goes into a mode where it says unsafe to use until it cools down.  You can fry an egg on it that's how much it heats up.
