Bell's Palm Pre commercial couldn't be more Apple if it had an Orba Squara soundtrack {Engadget}
Aug 21st 2009 12:49AM The only thing Palm can't ape from Apple's ads is the "app for everything" concept. Heh.
This is a bit sad and disgusting to watch, coming from the company that nearly single-handedly created the consumer PDA market.

Jan 2nd 2009 1:21AM The main problem with the iPhone camera is that it is fixed focus. No macroing.

Jan 2nd 2009 1:20AM G1. Not sure why the BBs are on there. Bold doesn't have a touchscreen and Storm doesn't have wifi. Unless those weren't requirements so much as optional niceties.

Dec 29th 2008 11:55PM Just because there isn't a never-ending barrage of PR doesn't mean landline technologies aren't improving. A lot of households are being offered or are already using a carrier-bundled voip for their landlines (particularly cable internet providers).
E-book barred from App Store due to obscene content {Engadget}

"But if a company makes a good product, I ain't gonna boycott them because they refused to carry a particular book in their store." Precisely. One book is just a single drop in the bucket of the troubled history of the iPhone App Store approval process.
I don't consider the iPod, iPhone, or Macbook to be good products or good values. The best I can say is that Apple does a very good job of marketing. On that note, am I the only one who found Apple's "I'm a Mac" ad blasting Vista's marketing budget ironic? Like to the extreme?

I don't think it's wise to lock in to any one company too much. Buy products from companies that bring good value, good hardware and good business practice to market. Now I'm not saying I don't carry a bit of brand loyalty myself, but a good chunk of Apple customers really take it to a whole (and unhealthy) level. That's why they're called zealots.
There are definitely better options for most of Apple's products if you care to look for them. The Zune is a very worthy competitor to the iPod classic, function for function. iTunes? No thanks, the myriad of MP3 managers combined with DRM-free Amazon MP3 for me. Macbook? Lenovo and Sony make quite handsome computers too. There are some very specific Apple products that have no peer. Final Cut Pro is one of them.
