Probably a flame, but I'll bite. What specifically can you do in Photoshop that I can't do in Gimp? Its probably just a matter of what you're used to. I grew up on gimp. If you stuck me in front of a Photoshop rig, there is very little chance that I would be able to do ANYTHING with it. CMYK, Pantone in particular but mostly it's down to the horrible interface that GIMP comes with. Gimp is basically a programmers idea of how a creative tool should look.
Yeah, stuck with Apple.. That's right. I can only run Windows, Linux, BSD and OS X as the default operating system or as a virtualised machine on my MacBook Pro, as well as all the software and hardware those operating systems support.
When you said "stuck with Apple", what exactly did you mean? Care to clarify?
I also have a Nokia N70 (and an iPhone). To compare the battery usage of these two is somewhat redundant considering the iPhone has a HUGE touch screen display and the N70 has a somewhat piddly display.
I'm not completely convinced about the marketing explanation, although I don't doubt it has some part to play. However, even when they release the 3G model, they'll release a newer model 6/12 months later with even more features. It's not as if a 3G iPhone would be the final iPhone released. Whether they sold a 3G model from the start or in 2 years time, there will be updates anyway, so it's not as if they're trying to specifically get repeat buyers by releasing a 2g model first. They'll ALWAYS want repeat buyers.

I, for one, welcome our 3d printing, self replicating overlords. Surely they can't do any worse than our current burger eating, oil selling overlords.
Oh and GIMPs font rendering leaves a LOT to be desired.

You can say this about ANY company who releases a product and upgrades it later on with more features.
