Open Letter to Steve Jobs -- Apple Flash Back
HTPC4ME:
glynor i respect ya, your very knowledgable. in fact you put me to shame in regards to technology, and comp skills... But there are posts here and convo's you and i have had in regards to helping setup my gf with certain apple apps,apple issues she's had etc... and she just wasnt able to accomplish things, and thats just my experiences in this forum.
i'm just expressing my feelings about apple as you are towards others.
Personally... I've cut all ties with them.

You can be all the hater you want, but quoting $600 and a requirement to buy a new phone after 6 months was just a lie. I'm not claiming there are not cheaper options out there. There sure are, but cost isn't everything, nor is a bulleted feature list.
And all I know is that every previous feature phone I've owned "needed" a new battery after 10-12 months of use, because it would no longer hold it's charge acceptably. This has not been my personal experience with my iPhone, nor has it been our experience at my company where we have about 300 users with iPhones or iPod Touches. I've only heard of one user total that has had to do a battery replacement, and that was fairly recently on his first-gen iPhone and he left it plugged in at his desk all day long every day (which is terrible for Lithium Ion batteries).
They do certainly need charged more frequently than an average "regular" cell phone, but no one that I know who has one really feels this is a serious problem. Mine always lasts a full day and I just plug it in on my nightstand at night when I sleep. That was not my experience when I tested both the older HTC G1 and the Motorola Droid.

Personally, I have very mixed feelings about Apple. I genuinely like some of their products (Final Cut is the best cutting app, I'm sorry AVID people), but I also really dislike some of their choices, especially when it comes to product hardware lock-downs.
I'm absolutely no fan-boy. Most of my machines are home-built Windows PCs. I do have a Mac laptop, but I didn't buy it myself, and I need it to run Final Cut. I have both Macs and PCs at work, but only Windows machines at home. I've never owned an iPod (too limited).
I bought an iPhone because I wanted a true pocket computer platform, and none of the other alternatives were acceptable at the time. Everything has it's flaws.

As have I; sold off my collection of iPod devices and am now solely using an Android phone and a Sansa Clip.
It takes a lot to make Adobe look good in comparison...but Jobs has done it.

spv c550 - owned it since it was first released in UK.. in my closet and battery works flawlessly never replaced it.. before that the E200 had it for years as well never replaced battery. all i ever replaced on both phones were the shells due to them being dropped. Amazingly the spv c550 from over 25 feet down onto concrete while up on a hopper when i was doing asbestos for a living, The battery popped off and she got scratched (not cracked - scratched) (Don't do this at home, this was an accident and i was def sweating bullets on my way down the ladder) lol

i will give the Gf's iphone credit for battery length.. out of the box it blows my new htc hd2 out of the water. but as i'm doing rom updates and tweaking. i'm getting closer and closer to her battery levels. and in time will be equal to if not beat hers.
Anywho... Ive Got A Clients Windows Virus Infected PC to fix. (How Ironic For This Topic)
