I will never buy it - because it is too expensive
You idiots.... There is a lot of news out there...]]>Jul 3rd 2007 1:21PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/But does anybody remember the introduction of OSX. It was a disaster that cost us heaps and many many hours. I'm still using OS 9 rather than jump in to that mess again. I've got work to do! Microsoft would have been "tarred and feathered" for such an inconsiderate, badly executed move.
Anybody tried to replace the battery in their iPod? How many power supplies for your notebook are you up to? In our house-hold the count is six in a little over a year, and they are still rubbish...very poor engineering Apple!
Lucky Apple is cool, or we would really resent them!]]>Jul 3rd 2007 2:02PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/Jul 3rd 2007 3:22PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/Jul 3rd 2007 3:41PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/
Interesting writeup--just one correction. My column appears on the front page of the Business section in the Times EVERY WEEK. Has for years. Reviews of cellphones, cameras, doesn't matter--that's where it appears. :)

I'm every time as amazed by the zealotry that the 'Apple People' display.

And yes, there has been proper web browsers on mobile devices before. This of course doesn't distract a true believer.]]>Jul 4th 2007 3:09PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/Jul 4th 2007 1:20AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/
Don't you remember the pre-iPod crap that used to be touted as the wave of the future? I owned three different models and none were worth a tenth of the money that I paid for them. I own three iPods including a 1st generation that still works... and yes they did cost more than the alternatives. But finally I got something that WORKED. What a concept! There were large numbers of people who proclaimed gloom and doom for Apple's iPod. They were wrong.

Did you even use and iPhone or watch any of the introduction videos before writing your article? I didn't think so. You cannot fathom the impact of market changing technology. Reread your article in 5 years. I'd bet one of my shares of AAPL that you'll get it by then.

Disclosure: I own AAPL, I own Macs, I've ordered my iPhones.]]>Jul 4th 2007 1:38AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/Jul 4th 2007 2:47AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/Jul 4th 2007 5:18AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/
And before everyone jumps down my throat, I know, I know... no iTunes or multi touch screen. I still think it's just a tad over priced.]]>Jul 4th 2007 5:24AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/
Juxtaposing the hypothetical polarity switch between MS and Apple, I still see Apple as the more interesting and facile company, resulting in more imaginary positive press. When you do things differently, you get talked about more. Imagine that.

It absolutely incenses some and mildly annoys more that the media takes such a favorable position with Apple, yet why should they NOT? Is there ANYONE ELSE who does as good a job marketing their products?

I mean, honestly. To the victor goes the spoils. MS gets the desktop, Apple gets the press. And you and me get the bill.

Language has a lot to do with it, IMO. "Liberation" from the oppressive hand of the mobile market? Hyperbole supreme, with a side order of "gag me", and I'm an "Apple Guy"™.

Anyway, I thought it was a good enough read to comment and bookmark.

Also, it was so cool to see David Pogue respond. He's a really cool guy and has my utmost respect. He's a damn nice guy, too.]]>Aug 3rd 2007 6:33PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/
Wow. Considering Mr. Job's recent battle with cancer, I'm of the opinion the author may have shown some incredible poor taste.]]>Jul 6th 2007 2:51PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/Jul 6th 2007 5:02PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/03/does-the-media-love-apple-too-much/I mean... Deal with it. They released a really cool and useful cellphone. If Apple has had success is because of the people.
I dont understand why cant you just live with the fact that they created something that you could never do.
No one is forcing you to buy it.
We expect more from Microsoft because they have more customers... which means more money. So.. don't you think they should be able to solve problems more easily?
whatever..
