if only maddox deigned to update his site more often than once every three months.

although I will admit I love how he generally agrees with me on all points (ie, his viewpoints on Sony and Apple and their customers)

Wow, the iPhone? THAT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO UNEXPECTED!!!!

You know, I think Apple should come out with a new product every couple months, just so Maddox can have some decent material.

It's not apple's fault that everyone overhyped the iphone. however, much like Apple's other products, the iphone is a pretty great piece of tech. I'm typing this on a macbook. sure it's price was on the high side, but I have to say that the apple OS is way better than windows, and the software/tech integration is terrific. Apple gets a lot of slack for their marketing based success, but that doesn't mean they don't still make great products.

Iphone is a great gimmick, hype will drive sales.

So if there is a product far better does not really matter, most customers are fools. I learned that first hand working in a store, the average customer has NO CLUE what so ever about most products he/she wants to buy.
