@ferofax - Apple is not powerful enough to take out google + htc + motorola + samsung + sony + lg + whoever I forgot. Htc already posted how they have a fix being tested that gets around the whole issue. Apple is just scared because they realize that customer may actually want a choice.
Well said, well said. I'm glad there's people out there besides me that are not brainwashed by Apple's products. Normally I would dip into these types of gadgets (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad) but there's something about them that just keeps them from being my interest. It's probably that Apple for a long time has catered to the upper middle class yuppy type and, although I could mingle with them fine, it just is not my cup of tea. I would rather see Motorola come out with something groundbreaking again. After the Motrola Razr flip phone, they have been kinda hit or miss (KRAZR for example) and their new touch screen phones seem pretty decent but unfortunately they don't catch on like the iPhones do with all the zombies around that carry them.
Hopefully one day we will see something new and fantastic come out that is not an Apple product. Until then, my cash stays in the bank I'm on a super cheap phone plan with no data even though I can afford an iPhone and data plan. I just don't need it. I have computers everywhere I go and LAN and internet.
