Re: Awe, poor RIAA having trouble gouging customers said by WileEC:What makes you think Apple is any better than the RIAA? Apple is a for-profit company (and woah, really for-profit considering how much they hose the average Mac/iPud/iBone owner for). 2nd, not everyone subscribes to their sales model. I personally would NEVER buy from iTunes. I have a Rio Karma, probably one of the best MP3 players ever (not that any Apple fanboi would agree or even have knowledge of what a Rio Karma is) - point is that not everyone owns an iPud. Many people have many players from many companies. Why should Apple have any control over what I do? I agree. I have used Rio, Creative, then I had my LG VX-8300, then my Motorola Q, all as MP3 players. I myself like most of Apple's products, but have never been a fan of the iPod, and wasn't excited about the release of the iPhone. I dislike iTunes. I may have an inferior phone, but at least my phone manufacturer has been making phones for cellular networks, practically since the cell phone was invented. I don't "hate" Apple, though. I think it's cool they are trying this. However, I don't like a few things about it. For starters, I hate the fact that only Apple provides support. Regardless how that might strike you, I work for a cable company who supports many dfferent brands of modems, so I think that whole idea is bull. I dislike iTunes activation The $500 pricetag is rediculous. And the touch screen is not my style either. Factor in the fact that AT&T is the only provider with the damn thing, I think I'll pass. I've had a few bad experiences with that company. That phone is not worth the hassle. I want the provider to feel obligated to please me, by any means necessary, even if that means they decided to swap the phone. I don't need to argue with the idiots at Apple's technical support about signal issues, or dropped calls. Waiting on hold an avarage of 30 minutes, just to be told I have to wait 30 more minutes for an Apple rep is stupid anyway. Enjoy your $500 phone, I'll keep my $99 one. |
