Evok said:I can see why they'd be mad about this. It seems like this fool is trying to make the iphone out to be something really complicated and hard to use, thus tarnishing the usability image for no reason other than trying to make a joke out of nothing.
Really? If it's that easy to kill iPhone sales, maybe it isn't that good after all.
Apple's real problem is that they have been able to portray themselves as the nice-and-friendly company, out there fighting the good fight for Joe Average. As they have actually got into the Joe Average market, they find that it's hard to keep up the shiny image. But, a few years ago, the stop-or-we-will-sue your-* letter by their lawyers to the girl that thought it was awesome to send them a design for an iPod cover (or something to that effect) was the first sign they found you cannot be the customer's friend and control everything that's going on outside your company.
In the early 2000's, I was turned off by Microsoft. After that, Apple's shenanigans was one of the bigger factors that made me re-examine and find that Microsoft is actually a decent company that knows how to navigate between the close and open side. Not perfectly but good enough.
To think I was this close to buying an Apple last november.....
