I have nothing but respect for Apple (and the rest). ALL these companies are greedy as hell so if a company is successful at making money why hate them for it? None of them care about you only your money, so why not treat them all the same?

Because Nintendo, MS, and Sony don't release new versions of their products 3 months after the last, making everyone who bought the last one feel like shit.

Also, We like removable, long-lasting batteries, and quality hardware ;P


You have lost me. What's your point? Oh, you don't have one.

All PClaptop manufactuers (including Sony) regularly realease updated products. It's call keeping up with technology.Dell, HP and all the rest does this. Why isolate Apple? Sony's digital cameras are updated to a newer version every full moon.

What mobile phone maker don't release a newer HW version every morning you wake up?

Nintendo - regular releases just doesn't work with consoles.

MS - What HW they do again? Of course, the zune and 360.

Are you shitting me? There is a new iPod out every 2-3 moths that is "better and greater" than the last one.

Nintendo releases a DS/Portable every 2-3 YEARS. Why couldn't the iPod Nano take video/pics when it first came out? Exactly. There is no reason. The tech. was readily available at the time, but they decided to whore out the iPod for a couple more bucks, and SLOWLY add improvements, instead of waiting it out for at least 6 months and THEN adding a bunch of new great features. Why didn't the original iPhone have GPS or 3G? So they could release a new one more frequently with little-to-no extra features.

The fact that you can't remove the goddamn battery just shows you how they want you to go buy a new one instead of a $15 battery so they can rape you monetarily!

Cameras? I hate to tell you this, but you do know that some people's careers center around a camera? the reasoning is much different. Not to mention, a camera is more essential to daily life than an iPod. Also, the features are bigger, better, and more meaningful, they're not small, tiny increments. They are actually keeping up with technology.

Phones, also an area that has gone bat-shit crazy. Although, to be fair, their reasoning is different too though. They keep older phones around for people with different featural needs and price points, while Apple replaces and re-replaces all of their old products.

Why not? $250 $200 for a console seems pretty good compared to the $200 iTouch.

Exactly. The Zune came out, then the Zune 2, and now the Zune HD. that's THREE, not TWENTY! And how many different console models have they come out with over the last 3 years?

360Core
360Pro20GB
360Arcade
360Pro60GB
360Elite

Count 'em up, FIVE over the last FOUR years, and they're actually meant for different price ranges. So every EIGHT months, they have a new one!

Also, every person I know who has had an iPod has had theirs break on them more than once, because they're not made well (WTF, glass screens!?). They just keep buying them because they: 1.Don't know how to work another mp3 player 2.Can't play their old iTunes music on anything else!

So there's my point. It just stabbed your argument in the gut. You might want to do something before it...*cough**sputter*... Dies.
