As a designer I should pay more attention to Apple stuff, because I don't get why they're so popular. I admit I haven't played with them much, but still. Yes some guy with a pony tail does good ergonomic design, but while you're distracted the marketing guy is lifting your wallet.
From what I could tell the iPod, which is not cheap, makes it difficult to load & play MP3s. Isn't that the point of an MP3 player? I prefer my cheap player that I plug in a USB port and it comes up as a drive I can copy to then I unplug and hit play. No software/drivers needed on any OS.
That new ultra thin notebook. There's web pages detailing it's significant shortfalls and better/cheaper alternatives that are as thin, but people still buy it.
The iPhone doesn't seem to have any features that other phones don't already have. And to use the 'GPS maps' costs you every time, all the time? WTF?
All their products just seem to tie you in to spending more & more down the track to keep using them.
