Because of Apple's new consumer driven approach they've gone to quickly forward.... My girlfriend works with iPhones and has specifically mentioned Telstra (and other phone companies) worries with the new iPhone - it's software goes down more times than an Italian striker at the world cup.
The real issue is - people wanted more, and all of a sudden Apple began to listen... they've cornered their market, now they pwn you!
The real issue is - they listened, then consumerised their products dramatically. This meant overlooking Software issues - does this ring bells of Bill Gates to anyone?
So what we've just created is Windows number 2.... But it's not Windows (luckily).
If you don't believe me - buy one and find out for yourself....
iPads for sure - all cool.... but when you look at the alternatives, I'd say you're throwing good money away for the purely less functional iPad for a name... You may as well just kit up with some D&G but stick with wearing $2 shop fake canvas shoes....
I most definitely aren't saying there's something wrong with the pad the pod or the phone... I'm just saying it in plain truth... They're unable to do what they really want them to and they're rushing them out now to overcome the influx of other AWESOME phones from the likes of HTC etc.... in other words - Android is beginning to pwn the competition.... Android has 40,000 new applications coming available and is operated by Google... I tell you what I'd go for before I took anything that started with 'i'.
iPhone 4 reception - hmmmmm Noted as the WORST reception for any phone (including a $49 Telstra phone).... Advantage... good resolution screen.....
So good luck with your iBuys....
