Now before I start this OPINION post im must tell people its MY opinion and if your an ipod fan its most likely going to differ from mine. However its my opinion so its nothing to get mad about.
Now to my post....Why is that no matter what apple does all they have to is slap Ipod on there things and people will go stand in line or brag about how they got the latest ipod? Now this isnt complete entertainment but with the new Iphone coming out i just cant help it.
New Iphone 3g is 10 times better than the first iphone and everyone that wasted 600 bucks on the first Iphone should buy this one! You see this everywhere. The thing is i was the one person telling every "wait 6 months and we will see a new one, dont waste your money" and no one wanted to believe me because its IPOD! Well guess what? We didnt even make it 6 months and here Apple is releasing something that should of been released 6 months ago. Im sorry but the 3g network thats suposed to be "faster" has been around long before Iphone was een talked about. Its on my phone for crying out loud and i got mine months before Iphone. Not only that but whats in this thing that makes it cost 600 bucks? It doesnt have bluray, cant play next generation games, all it does is hold 4 gigs of music(shuffles cost what 60 bucks?) and has a touchscreen(they dont cost more than 20 bucks to make) no one really needs right now. Sure it has PDA like features but why not go buy a PDA for 80? O wait those dont have touchscreens....
Dont get me wrong the Iphone is something everyone should use before judging, it just doesnt impress me. It really is handy and has some neat things, but why would i want it to begin with? Im happy going with the samsung knockoff because it has the same useless features and its cheaper. However this is a Apple trend, lets release a un finished product now and then release the "better" baby steps along the way. Then when its finally there lets dump it and move on to another project and take baby steps with that. Its not really the Apple way as there computers never change (only kidding about that) but its the Ipod way. The thing is people fall into this every time they see the Ipod. I guess we got to give Apple credit for getting their name big first huh. Not that all those other mp3 players that surpass the ipod are any good or all the iphone "knockoffs" have anything the same. Now being the Iphone was exspensive i was thinking just maybe Apple would not do this to us, yet i was wrong there. Just dont try to get any customer service for your 600 bucks.
Anyways thats the end of my rant about how people that adore Apple too much need to open their eyes a little bit. Everyone has that company they love but not every company has the world at thier fingertips like Apple Iphone name brand does. Just remember its my opinion and if you wasted your money on an Iphone 1 your probably blowing up right now ready to kill me, dont worry you will thank me one day.
