      Whether it is a repost or not is not as significant as hitting the link or link^ and making things easier for everyone :)

          Oh definitely. They're so heavy, not like the nice light Pineapple.

            It's successfully used looks to sell first then functionality with most consumers not realizing the cons. Many have tried, Apple have succeeded so technically, that's the innovation.

                Wow, the people who participated in those surveys have no clue. In fact I reckon I could probably sell them my iNeedAClue app for $5.

                  Why hate Apple? They didn't force the idiots that wrote this to ignore the fact that they weren't the first smartphone, they didn't pioneer anything with it or that aside from the touch interface being nice it didn't really do more than give consumers anything new. Seriously, aside from their almost brainwashing power to market, they had little to do with this. There are a few dozen things I would have put on that list instead of the iPhone. I would not have even thought of it for the list. But I am not going to blame Apple, just like I would not blame Google for people using their name as a verb that means to search online for something.

                  If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

                    Yeah I suppose, I just get sick of hearing ipod, iphone and ipad mentioned every time I turn on the TV as if they're some kind of revolutionary devices that do things nothing else does.

                      Steve Jobs is superhuman. He can generate reality distortion fields at will where if he tells you the sky is fuschia, deer are descended directly from T-Rex and ninja and pirates are best friends you simply believe it. His field has gotten stronger since he got that new part. Just accept that "journalists" are now swallowed up by the field and move on. No way can you beta that field. It's like Gate's money generating plan field at this point.
