This makes me sick
How dare Apple charge full retail for these devices at $599 and $699...I mean even with research and developments costs they could have helped society out with a better price tag...that is a big cost difference....they are not making a profit...they are raping people's pockets....look at this

Apple makes it so hard to get behind them. Between outrages prices and locking down their stuff to the point that it actually makes their product less appealing is just 2 sticking points that have always kept me from getting a taste for their products.

Apple's threat of keeping the Pre from syncing with Itunes all the while knowing that it will hurt some of their very loyal Itunes users and customers is in this vain. |

I guess my point about Apple was that IMO they go to great lengths to stop people from getting into their products whiile Microsoft of course doesn't like it but they aren't willing to cut their nose off to spite their face.

Re: This makes me sick
I'm not defending apple or microsoft but, that's not really all the money they spend on making 1 phone, where are the ad's expenses, promotions, employee expenses?, im pretty sure they still make a ton of money but that picture is kinda showing just part of the expenses but not everything, and things like that is what i don't like. Anybody complains about HTC pricing they're phones at $700?, nope lol

Ya know what I mean, that corporate slam talk instead of this ultra defensive posturing that will end up probably causing more Ipod users to experience syncing errors than Pre users. For a company like Apple who truly prides itself in being the "coolest" tech company, they sure do come off like a spaz in these scenarios. I don't even use Itunes, I personally can't stand the software, but then again I really can't stand anyone's music syncing software. None of them do playlists right except for WMP as far as I'm concerned. |
