LOL

LOL MacMacs might be but I am most certainly not.

I read this so-called "news site" because I read *all* mac-related news sites – it's my job. Part of my job is to stay informed regarding what others are saying about Apple.

"and can’t stand any remotely negative statement about your beloved consumer design company."

My post wasn't referring to any negative comments Elmer may or may not have made regarding Apple. I was referring to the fact that almost every article Elmer posts has *multiple* errors of fact, grammar, spelling, etc. You can see it in his comments.

If this is supposed to be a "News site" (and I would submit it most certainly is no such thing), ostensibly linked to CNN and Fortune, wouldn't you expect/want/demand *better* reporting? Better grammar, spelling, facts, etc?

The only thing I expect from Elmer is to get it right – unfortunately, he most often *doesn't* as evidenced by his frequent need to correct his own writing. As long as that occurs, I will continue to criticize him for it.

In Europe, TMobile has the contract for exclusive IPhones. This however, is illegal and will likely change as it is against the law in many countries there.

The IPod is seeing new competition from the Zune, the IPhone is seeing new competition from other cell phone companies as well. Apple may be an innovator, but their products always reak from a lack of refinement. Whether it's infrequently updated software or a lack of continuous product improvement, there's a lot missing from a small company like Apple and that's the main reason we still see PCs dominating the market.

Competitors come out with superior products with new features and Apple doesn't follow suit. It comes up with a great scheme, and then somebody else implements it better. Standard Operating Procedure for Apple. If they had more guidance, there wouldn't be another Cell Phone or MP3 player on the market. They always get there first, the stock goes up on a new product, then competitors overtake them.

Todays article was subtle, but basically says don't buy the iPhone this Christmas because Apple might come out with a new iPhone in six months that is better. Of course they might come out with a better iPhone at some point. That goes without saying for every product made on the planet.

You'd think he'd learn and get it right the first time, wouldn't you? I think he has a masochistic streak and enjoys the abuse.

Im not shure wut this article is triing to acomplish. Jobs is the man at Apple and everybody knows it. Jobs has stated that there will be no 3G iPhone until a decent battery life can be assured with 3G unlike the other 3G phones out there with abysmal battery life. Of course Apple is working on the next generation of the iPhone and if it has 3G it means they have solved the battery life issue.

Of course all of this is old news and the new chip you are talking about is old news too. I think the real massage Phil is trying to get out is, "Don't buy an iPhone now. A new one is coming eventually that will be better than iPhone 1.0."

When the new iPhone comes out we can all look forward to reading all of Phil's nice articles describing in detail all of the reasons you shouldn't buy that iPhone either. Hooray!

Who are you going with? Philip or the FDex guy?
