F***ING PATHETIC APPLE!!!! BOO
I can only say that Apple is utterly pathetic. The company's recent cancellations and today's announcements and OLD computer line is just a complete JOKE. F**K, Apple organises such a large event with so much hype for a F***ING MOBILE PHONE that they don't even manufacture!! Really revolutionary to include an mp3 player in a mobile, I don't care how good iTunes is compared to the competition, they must be kidding. All I can say is YIPPIE now everyone go out and buy yourself a stupid old phone with itunes!
A huge mac fan myself to go out and buy this Motorola phone to replace my current Sony Ericsson K750i for itunes....hahaha!!! Mobile phone manufacturers have completely misunderstood the mobile concept according to me! I want a good reliable phone that will let me:
- make and receive phone calls
- send sms and mms
- proper internet browsing
- good calender
- good addressbook
- good standby time
- nice design
- gps
- good camera
That's not too much to ask I don't think! I never asked to get a F***ING mp3 player, tv mobile, and these other stupid features. What I am talking about is a smartphone with what I would say are essential features. All the technology is available and the market for a phone like this is huge! The companies need to wake up! Yes I wouldn't mind an mp3 player if APPLE developed a smartphone which included ipod capabilities as well as their intuitive interface and gorgeous design. What they have announced today is rubbish in my eyes!
I just have to point out before I continue that I usually just read these and other forums like these but I can't refrain from conveying some of my views due to the recent events.
Yes Apple is a profit making company and "successful"! But come on although the ipod has revolutionised the music player market or whatever you want to say, the unveiling of the ipod nano (what's next the ipod pico) is not revolutionary at all! Yes it's small and everything else about it, as with the other ipods is great, but come one Apple...."here we go again"! Yes that slogan is right because they released yet another ipod. When are we going to hear "mobile computing here we go again" or something like that???!!!! Their complete computer line is outdated if you disregard the G5 as it at least uses newer technology compared to the G4. Yes they are going to transition to Intel but WHEN and I don't want to be a beta tester. "We have many great PPC products in the pipeline", REALLY, well your pipeline is full of ****! I suggest a lot of laxative!!
Furthermore cancel the keynote at the Apple Expo Paris and no explanation as to why! Ok I understand that they aren't going to publicly announce why it was cancelled but I must say that Steve Jobs and any other Apple executives to hold a Q&A session with the press just doesn't cut it! As if they will answer "yeah intel products available in July 2006", i.e. "buy our crap outdated products now cause you won't see updates till we release intel products and once you buy intel products cause they will be soooooo great, we'll get feedback that the computers have flaws and then you can get the next revision!"
APPLE NEEDS TO GET ITS ACT TOGETHER!
(Yes I will never go back to PCs, I've been a mac user from 2000 and although I wasn't a mac user from the start they are amazing. I am very familiar with Windows XP and other MS products as well as work as a IT administrator at my father's company which uses PCs and I'm a mechanical engineering undergraduate student and must unfortunately do CAD on a PC cause the software I use isn't available for mac and (yes this was a long sentence) but PCs suck!)
