    Apple's just another huge company that's finding throwing billions at branding and marketing can't cure obvious inadequacies. We all know the Apple stuff is both restrictive and vastly overpriced.

    Look at the mess that is Microsoft's Windows 8.
    What ever happened to Google's cloud stuff? It seems to have disappeared up into them.

    Wasn't there some stat in the 70s or 80s that 10 percent of the price of a new car was the cost of marketing that car.

    What percentage is it for Apple stuff?

    Not to mention the cost of suing companies they can't compete in the market place with.
  • I don't mind the word Apple, but i hate the i. Pass me my iPhone, has anybody seen my iPhone, sorry about the quality of the picture i took it on my iPhone. No other phone users refer to their mobile by it's name, it's a phone or a mobile.

    Which is a piece of marketing genius.

    Never let it get you down... unless it really is as bad as it seems.
