Apple's Consumer Zombies

[k64]

You really have to applaud Apple for making a line of products so enticing to consumers/zombies that the need to apply duct tape to your new phone just so you can make a call!!!

Duct tape ? Are they really as bad as I hear they are ? One of the guys I work with was about to throw his out the door a day or two ago. He couldn't get it to update.

It seems to be very hit and miss, although i do believe a lot of the "miss" is owners too proud to admit that there is indeed an issue.

The fact that apple is now offering free case covers to all owners kinda usms it up.

 LOL Im not sure there's a real fix for it after doing some reading , Apple is offering refund's to anyone not happy with the phone. You would think they would have done a little more testing and from what I understand Steve Jobs was warned about a possible  problem and chose to let it go. So go figure whats next?

Rivals Strike Back at Apple Over iPhone 4 'Death Grip' Claims!

Bottom line is apple igod spoke nonsense when backed into a corner.  The real question is will the flowers drink the poisoned apple juice?

50% is media hype, as in post mentioning ''consumers/zombies'', it's also the same about this attenna issue, or like paris hilton news And it doesn't matter if it's good news or bad news perse, all news is essentially good.

You know that octopus which correctly predicted the winner, could be a millionaire for using it for commercial adds, just saying..

Btw I do like this phone allot but no way I would spend so much on a phone.

I wish I could be convinced by the iphone, but I hate mine! Even my iphone, (previous model to the 4) blanks if you hold it in your left hand, but I don't really care about this.

What i do care about is there is no flash and the signal quality is poor compared to my previous Nokias. I have to get used to having no signal where i used to have one (same network, same area in which I use it).

As for the ipad, what a con! No flash, no USB, what on earth is it for, just another con from Mr.Jobs (I don't care about his morals, I want flash and not for porn!!!) for the technically challenged?

I would love to be persuaded otherwise, as the products look beautiful......maybe thats the problem!

Apple is suffering from growing pains. They have produced far superior products for years but only ever commanded a small percentage of the market. The iPhone was their major breakthrough and they now have a taste for being the dominant player! I trust that they are still focused on producing quality products rather than mass producing rubbish (like their closest rival!)>

I have an iPhone 3G and am left-handed (left-eared?).  I have never lost a call based on my grip.
