but dreamer has a better view of this.. apple's trend is simple and it all just takes 5 minutes for u to sit down and think about this to realize how everybody who buys apple products is being overcharged n screwed over. apple is completely behind the ball game with technology.. i know ppl who got free phones that had more options than the iphone but because the iphone has a pretty decent touch screen it wins more consumers. camera, mms, etc.

the norm isnt gonna wanna spend on something that isnt attractive, isnt popular and isnt simple, thats just the nature of things. and thats where apple realized this and is capitalizing on, but in an effort to do all this that will be their downfall in the end, unless they eliminate that now. when ur macbook, or ur ipod doesnt work or something in that manner, what usually happens? buy another, as good as that sounds for apple like i said earlier, it will be their downfall in the end. i love my iphone when i travel, but when im here at home or working, i use the G1 it because to me it is the perfect phone.
