this from a person who flames apple will be selling iphone for $700 and wonâ(TM)t sell anything under $700 (mac mini, look it up). So, yes, lets lease stay on topic and no indulge in personal bias for ego gratification.
" but if you mean been a success above all others, that's not clear at all to me.)"
Well fortunately, It doesn't matter if its clear to YOU, because you couldn't be more wrong. The below is just one independent metric that supports this claim. Google and other market share reports have shown the simialar.
"From December to March, Mobile Safari's browser market share in the U.S. jumped from 0.14 percent to 0.23 percent. StatCounter said that the iPhone is now the number one mobile browser in the United States, and number two globally"
Other phone can do internet standard, but almost no one use it. Google even proved this when it announced that the iphone is responsible for 50x more web searches than the next closest phone.
The people who like to say well this and that phone are like the iPhone.
Well users of those phones have proved that they simply are not.
As someone who has an iphone, i find its web browser a joy to use. Not just "usable", but so usable as to actually be fun. Sure some of features are sub par, to claim that other phones do internet just as well is patently false and absurd.
on what basis do make claim "computers of increasingly lesser quality as they build up a user-base"??
I call BS. site a source which back that claim which isn't anecdotal that apples quality has gone down or is lessor of any other manufacturer for that matter
now thats a flame. not a single point made was in my original post was without merit or in fits definition of a flame bait, if anything, i i defused the bait i replied to.
store what?
8 gb of text messages? or perhaps media you might actually use, which you never will use and cant on any other device. The iphone has a phone, but it has a screen and memory that you can watch a movie on it, and dont need 3 devices in your pocket. the phone has mp4 decoder on the chip-set.
that is intelligent.
find me another phone hand held device on market that does
your solution is yesterdays. Apple has opened a whole new playing field the devices you find intelligent cant compete on, but whose manufactures are shitting themselves wishing they could, even if you dont see it.
try the phone. i have. and your wrong. there is a lot special, namely the UI. but if that doesn't float your boat, find me a phone anywhere that has 1 gb of memory, never mind the 8 gb iphone has.
or the video play back with a 160 ppi screen, or a better internet experience, because there is none. io dont even think it is best phone, but it certainly is best hand held internet device with perhaps the nicest UI ever made.
i have used apple gear for 15 years, with not a single hardware problem, not one. your entitled to your opinion based on your singular experience, but the vast repeat customers apple has, Consumer reposts highest customer satisfaction rating for years. all speak to another experience with their products entirely.
i wonder why your wasting your tim reading and posting here on a product your made up your mind on without even trying. people like you are more annoying than so called "apple zealots"
I agree with msot of what you say, but the cube didn't have any problem with over heating that i ever heard of. the so called "cracks", or mold injecting lines and the cost had more to do with it being discontinued.
it most ways, it was ten years ahead of its time. a computer which looked more like art than did a tool.
wtf are you talking about? mac had millions of colors when mosts pcs were running in 256 mode. When I worked at Microprose software at the time all our games were 256. The macs i useed to build the box art ran in the millions of colors
bullshit. the "much needed cash infusion" of $150 mil of non voting stock was more symbolic than anything. Apple had over $4 Billion in cash at the time
not that what you have is bad device , is it is pretty damn good one actually. but you are either completly ignorant of what Apple tv is or obtuse. maybe both. they clearly are not the same as you can't stream content off your computer to your tv with your HMDI DVD player. thanks for playing Slashdot.
this must be wrong. OS X on older hardware simply doesn't support all the OGL functions. I for example on 10.4 on a ATI 9000 card and cant get the water effect in Dashboard. It turns effects off based o hard ware with no practical loss to user.
IntergalacticWalrus is right you are zealot, and a troll. the post of yours i have read offer little insight on anything, other than telling people to use vista. Even when your flat wrong about how easy a mac is to use, a feature or whatever. This make youa zealot. Top off you post about as subject you obviously dont know anything of (OS X) to say "look at me, use vista!". this makes you a troll.
its not bias, this preview is a statement of fact of features to come in a os you obviously dont use. where is there basis in writing of that, other than yours? Were you equally interested in OS X 6 years ago awaiting the feature in Vista you can get today, if you have right hard drive ad shell out for super duper premium version for twice the cost of a full install of OS X? i didn't think so troll.
Wait. apple gives a dsicount i think of you buy your mac within 2 weeks of the release . i think. best to wait for it, as they ay refresh something before it is released.
i dont know how conspiracy theorists explain the fireball and dead americans on that flight (what an insult to them and their families this shit is). That fireball was obviously from fuel. I dont think you can pack that much on a predator.

Well since they already do sell things that cheap, you comment is idiotic.

maybe i could sell my iPhone for a mac mini

not for long once youtube has most of the video in h264 by end of year. iphone has built in decoder on chipset.
thank you and well said.

Well. given that when Apple choose Steve Jobs, whose Next used BSD, they effectively said, "yeah, lead us".
So what is your point?
Wild guess, you never have used it.
