Help in contacting Apple???? Anyone

[smilinmonki666]

Hi,

I need some help in contacting Apple with an idea I have, does anyone know on how to go about posting an idea, its a software idea so I can't really patent it from what I've read...

Cheers for any help

Sorry, but they won't take it.

Unless it's an elegant extension of Jobsian/Iveian design, they won't take it.

Please do not submit any unsolicited ideas, original creative artwork, suggestions or other works (“submissions”) in any form to Apple or any of its employees. The sole purpose of this policy is to avoid potential misunderstandings or disputes when Apple’s products or marketing strategies might seem similar to ideas submitted to Apple.

Hmm, ceers sky blue, they seem pretty harsh with that statement, if I had submitted my idea, they seem to be saying that if they used it they do not have to pay anything to me, not even a thanks???

Nice, good consumer relations there!!!

Funny thing is, the idea she had (about putting lyrics on the iPod so that she could sing along) is now part of the iPod. ha.
