I'm not anti-apple. I own an iPod, will get an iPhone as soon as my current contract is up. However, what they do imo is price gouging. There's also a lot about their programs (for example, iTunes) that drives me fucking crazy, things that they don't have, or aren't set up that are really common sense things. And when I bought my iPod, which was a 'new release' at the time, I wished it had a few things, but bought it anyway since it was the most recent model. Then 2 months later they came out another model that had everything I lamented about with the first one. And that's Apples MO - buy a new one, wish it had more gadgets/capabilities - and then soon after they come out with a NEWER one that has the very things you wanted. I'm happy to say I was too damn stubborn to go out and buy the new one but I know that's rare and Apple makes a great deal of their profit in that manner. I dislike being played like that.
