    No "just scan" feature, minimal resolution support, an LCD that started burning in 15 minutes images after the first week that's gotten progressively worse.

    Edit: I'm not a massive fan of Apple products btw. I think they make a good product but they're too expensive. My next upgrade will be an Android as was my recent tablet purchase.
    We're all on Vodaphone... except one bloke who is on Orange... and his iPhone suffers the same problems.

    TBH I'm not arsed who makes the technology I have, as long as it actually works... like I said the iPhone 4 is a nice enough gadget, but it's just no good as a phone... at least not in my experience. It's re-enforced my view that traditional companies produce better products. So if you want a digital camera, buy it from a camera manufacturer, not a computer company. If you want a mobile phone, you'll be better off with one from a mobile phone company, than with one from a computer company... etc, etc...
    Well the issue you have appears to be fixed in the U.S. thanks to Verizon.

    Do you have the fully sick case that Apple rolled out to fix the issue?

    Well, lad that's a bit of a misleading statement. Obviously,Apple produces appealing toys. It matters not the reason for their appeal -- It's there.

    I've had an iPhone. I enjoyed the quality of it's OS and its apps store (for sheer quantity and overall quality) I currently use a DroidX and I enjoy the Android market, and the idea of letting devs put their apps on the market, right away. However, the quality and quantity of the apps on the Android market need to improve.

    I use what products works for me. It's simple, really.

    I don't think it's misleading in the context I used it. I started off the tone for the devices to have little to no appeal and presented the app acceptance policies as being counter to their goal, thus no extra appeal added. I'm sympathetic to the developer's plight with this device. Sure the money's nice, but between Objective C and censorship, it's pretty fucking ridiculous.

    Now since I am well oriented with computing and technology, the friends/family like to use me as a resource to help with issues. Usually I'm fine with it, but having to deal with fucking Apple's OS's, I'm fucking done with that. If anyone asks me now, I either say fuck you or "sorry, I've never even seen a(n) >>>insert device here<<< before", depending on the context of my relationship with the person. But Apple has inundated the market with their tech lately, whereas before my exposure to their devices was isolated in nice controlled environments. So now I am finding myself having to be more vocal and apparent with my growing disgust with Apple to repulse the notion that I will help anyone with whatever iShit they've got. This thread is more or less a byproduct of my stance. Otherwise, I wouldn't have cared enough to be such an active hater.

    On top of that, I'm taken back by the prices people are paying for this crap. I actually had to go online to see the prices they charge for Macbook Pro because my friend was too embarrassed to admit how much he shelled out for his.

    I think apples magnetic cover for the ipad is pretty cool. Easily the coolest thing they make. However anything with an apple OS on it, ill pass.

    I have empathy for you and for your dealings with the Apple OS ( and Apple policy). I use Flash often, and web development is a pain in the ass on Apple's mobile devices, because of Apple not allowing Flash on their stuff, like.

    doobie, aren't web devs moving more towards HTML5 because of the amount of people with iDevices?

    HTML5 will end up meeting most of one's needs; however Flash, Java, or something client based, will be needed for more complex apps.

    Job's rants against Flash are flawed. He claims Flash is not secure and Apple's stack is. Well, Apple devices are jailbroken every day, via software flaws.
