They've sold a million IPads a month, are on track to sell that many Iphone 4s, untold millions of Ipods, etc. and the press is gushing over them like they're the newest teen idol sensation. I want to have a terrible 6 months like that!
Ha. I guess I should have said it has been a terrible month for their consumers (since that is what I actually meant; terrible 6 months as in they've been terrible).
Because the most recent update for the iPhone rendered it slow and crashy, apple banned cross compilation from flash to objective C for iOS apps (for no identifiable reason), apple bans anything from their app store that competes with their business model (like grooveshark), and now their flagship product has a major engineering flaw and they don't seem to care.
Maybe you're still happy after the company has treated you like crap, but a lot of other people aren't.
I swear to god I'm not saying this to pick a fight with you or take a side in some Internet sharks/jets thing: I couldn't be happier with how Apple is handling me.
I'm not an iOS dev though. Are you? It may be a different story if you want to get in bed with them. I don't.
I bought an iPhone 4. It hasn't shipped yet (I'm not crazy enough to sit in line for a phone). But if I had just found out about the yellowy thing and the antenna thing? I would STILL be tempted to wait in line for one, and I would certainly still be shelling out for it.
I think I speak for the vast silent majority of technology customers here.
