If true, I really have no faith in humanity. I can't believe people would pay that much for so little. Sure the apps and user interface are nice, but for something that is supposed to partially replace a laptop, its so gimped and expensive.

Apple products sell on brand name alone. The IPad is an over priced piece of garbage. Just an upsized ITouch with a heavy price. But so many idiots will buy it just like the IPhone, IPod and ITouch. You can buy a much better lap top with functionailty and multi-tasking and runs Windows 7.

IPhone is over priced smart phone that has cost some people thousands of dollars in monthly phone plan bills.

IPod is not even a good MP3.  So many better and cheaper MP3s are on the market and they are even cheaper and better quality.

Apple  sells expensive cheaply manufactured products to millions of idiots.

That brand name was built over a 30 years history to become synonimous with attention to details, design and user interaction. It's a value they worked for and for which they keep reaping the benefits.

Maybe you don't care about focused user experience, and you care more about a larger feature matrix and higher spec numbers. Calling everybody who has a different set of priorities an idiot is extremely naive, though.

In a few years Apple went from zero to highest profiting smart phone seller in the world, surpassing entrenched giants such as Nokia. Meanwhile the iPhone still comes up as the highest device when users are inquired about their satisfaction in terms of use.

It is not for you, nor frankly for me, but I can see the value proposition. Maybe you should look better instead of badmouthing what you don't understand.
